Title: Pond5 Sales
Post by: max headroom on November 18, 2014, 02:18
Pond5 ranking in Microstock Poll Results seems quite high. Is it because of video sales? I wonder how are the photo sales there. As uploading process is not easy there, is it worth uploading just photos of mostly food images on white... ??? ::)

This is my question to. I have over 1500 images but still no sell. On Envato after I upload couple of images I sold a picture next day even if Envato is on "low earners" and Pond5 is the first site on "middle tier"....

Simple. P5's photo library is half that of SS, IS, Ft and DT. When buyers search for images they have a far better chance of finding what they need elsewhere. Once P5 has a selection equivalent to the top four, your image sales will greatly improve.

Unlikely...because they don't like to invest is sales. SS put massive effort and $ in selling our files, and that's why they are at the top. The rest just experimenting around in hope that some miracle will happen. Let me tell you, miracle won't happen because SS has ALL the buyers with them.
