How has Pond5 been in 2021?
For Real:
two decent sales this month but that is all so far for 2021...
marthamarks:
I've had five video sales on P5 since spring. One a month, actually, so it began to feel like a "thing" that might continue. Time will tell about that.
I'd like to see more quantity, but even just five exclusive sales did add up to a decent return. Better for my videos than I ever had on SS or AS before I took them exclusive with P5.
jamesbenet:
My non exclusive sales have been better than 2019 and 20 but out of all the new uploads which are exclusive only a couple of sales in a year. I still think exclusivity is good in the long term but it will be costly while it picks up.
i8a4re:
I sell exclusive on P5 and after building it up for the last 2 years its starting to bring me in dollars.
Its good, but don't put all your eggs in one basket. Spread your bets.
Have a non-exclusive selection that goes across the non-exclusive portals (p5 / adobe / SS etc) then have another selection for exclusive. I typically have some of my better shots in p5 exclusive.
Essentially have two accounts at Pond5 registered under the same email: exclusive and non exclusive. You might have to message pond5 support to register it under the same email.
good luck!
Contemporary Dave:
I've been on P5 for about a year now (non-exclusive), and I have a small portfolio of around 300 clips. Initially, I got a sale about once every 2 weeks, but in the last 5 months or so, sales have taken a big nosedive. I haven't had a sale since July. I've sold more clips on Adobe - where I have only around 40 clips!
Somewhat reassuring that it's just not me who's experienced a downturn in sales on P5.
