EIPHOTO:
any thoughts comments? anything? is it worth it to try them out for still image sales? Any feedback or thoughts would be appreciated.

wds:
I have not seen good results with POND5 regarding still photo sales.

Same here. They've had my photos for more years than I've been making videos, but there have never been many sales.

I've had more success with videos there than with stills.

If you have been following the drama at Shutterstock since the June 1 royalty cuts, you might have heard that a group of contributors are forming The Stock Coalition with the aim of improving deals for contributors.

Pond5 has generally done well for video contributors and not much otherwise. Pond5 is interested in working with the Coalition to change that and make them strong in still images & illustrations too.

Keep an eye on this if you are looking for good places for your work. It'd be nice to see some positive news for contributors (note that no one wants to see "exciting news!" from any agency ever again :)

cobalt:
I only have around 400 photos on pond5, but they are increasing sales slowly. And since I price between 5-20 dollars, if I get a sale, then at 40% it equals many, many subs.

I will now upload a lot more photos and hope that the management does something with them.

It takes hard work and patience, it is a marathon not a sprint.
