Pond5 membership program experience. Share you income changes after joining it.
cobalt:
Has anyone received sales data?
If you could see how often your files sell and you know that pond5 is offering them for around 4-8 dollars a clip - wouldn´t you make a lot more money if you offered them yourself for 10 or 20 dollars and kept 50%?

You'd make more per sale, yes... but not necessarily more overall.

The new membership collection with about 400 members will be launching on Feb 15th. Got list of my selected files.
Here is some answers to my questions from P5:
I didn't see exact information what percentage i'll earn joining your membership program. How my revenue will be calculated?
Whatever Membership revenue is gathered by Pond5 in a given pay period (from selling Memberships) is first split 50/50. Then the remaining amount is distributed among the participating Artists based on downloads. If you received 10% of the Membership downloads that month, for example, you'd receive 10% of that revenue pot.
Is there any statistics about membership program influence for contributor income after joining it?
Yes, we have been running Membership for two years now with about 200 Artists. We have seen zero evidence of any cannibalization of the regular sales. We've been watching very closely as we don't want to see that happen, so it should only be positive for you.
How many members participate in this program?
Currently about 200 video artists, raising to about 400
Can i opt-out at any time?
Yes, but we need 90 days notice of opt-out to remove the content
Can you pre-select more my clips to membership collection without notice?
No, we will always notify you. And remember that anything in the membership is also available in the marketplace for non-members.
How i can see downloads and other statistics of these clips?
Right now we have not built a reporting mechanism on the site. But any time you email our Support team ([email protected]) they can give you a list of your membership downloads. Any royalties you make in the program will go straight to your preferred payment method on a monthly basis starting with the March payout.
I think i'll give it a try.
Still interested in opinions of already participating members!

Hi Sauletas,
I have had a few thousand in the membership scheme since the beginning.
Up to now it's been brilliant.
I agree with P5 - as far as I can tell it hasn't impacted on my regular P5 sales; membership clips sell just as well outside the membership program.
Everything is changing on 1 March so it's now new to everyone as far as how membership earnings will go.
They've just chosen a few more 1000 of mine - I'm happy about that and reckon it's better to be in than out.
Hope that helps your decision.
