Okay so in July I made $169.37 which isn't great but it was my best month since October 2024.

Then today (on this rainy soggy winter day in Sydney) I had a triple sale with three videos sold and a commission of $105.63.

Now i get this is not a lot of time but Pond5 is starting to show some better sales.

Could it be... Pond5 is picking up?

Anyone else seeing a lift in Pond5 sales?

Except for May I had at least one sale every month and I uploaded very little this year, only 38 fils so far.

So I think there is a little improvement, yes.

Perhaps we are seeing the beginning of the merger, perhaps istock/getty customers getting access to our files.

No, it isn't. Unfortunately.
I have uploaded a lot of quality files couple of weeks ago..0 sales.

I made nearly $500 lately in 1 month, which is near the top of my all time best, even though we suffered a 50% drop in payout rates since this year

Pond5 still makes me money. I make more on other agencies but as long as I make money I keep uploading. Maybe a nice AI training bonus coming up?

Not for me.  I think I have five videos and three photo sales for 2025. 

The last 2 days I've had a massive bump in Artist page views: 90+ 2 days ago  and 222 artist page views yesterday.

The items views haven't increased though.

Are you also experiencing this?

Yes - pretty much the same.   A big spike up in Artist Views but not Item views.

Big spike in Item Views in Dec 2025 with only a corresponding small spike in Artist Views.

Who knows what it means.

The web search spiders have found your account. 

I also had a sale, which to be honest doesn't happen that often.

I had my first sale for 6 months earlier this week. I've pretty much given up on them now, but hope it continues!

Pond5 is falling apart. Also did not receive payment on the 15th of the month as is usually the case.
