Uploading images is so unbearably slow and painful that I completely gave up on it. It's a shame but life is way too short.

700 vectors without a sale, about  two months, i think what you should improve is SALE!!!! 

I'm not sure if anyone from Pond5 is still reading this but I'll add my opinion just in case.
1.  Raise the minimum selling price for footage.  I'd say a minimum should be $50, maybe after 2 years of no sales allow it to be lowered to $25.
2.  Don't allow shaky, poorly exposed, out of focus, or otherwise inferior clips to the collection.
3.  Limit similars.
4.  Produce your own tutorials and tips for getting better footage.  Put out lists of wants from buyers.
5.  Edit keywords.

I'd change around the order of importance a bit (#5 to the #3 slot, for example), but otherwise I very much agree with these suggestions.

In particular, contributors selling HD clips at $10 and 4K clips at $15 is simply destructive for everyone and the entire industry. It should not be allowed.

slow image sales, and footage has drpped to almost nothing, but when sales come they are like 10-20 sales on BS et al.  most months pond is my 3rd or 4th, routinely beating BS, FT, DP and recently DT

longest dry spell on pond5 since joining them. Not sure whats happened, but not one sale since mid july - with over 5,000 photos, vectors and videos online.

I really like Pond5, but there is a lot to be improved as well. I hope they take some of the great suggestions in this thread onboard and turn themselves into a really serious player in the entire industry, not just video.

+1 on the removal of capital letters.  How hard is it to fix that?

I may be in an assisted living home before this is fixed.

this agency and panther i stopped uploading after i think 30% content. 0 sales and 0 money after 6 months = 0 new content (my images)

Would be nice to see some improvement in photo sales.  They are near the bottom of the pile for me as a photo seller.  More marketing of the photo side of things might help. 

1. (Easier) batch upload editing
 

the batch selections aren't alphabetized, but otherwise it's pretty simple -- set a price, then submit to curator

sales are decent but spotty.  average sales are $3-10+ each so doesn't take many to  beat most other sites.  consistently in my top 4

Definitely have a minimum price for HD footage of around $40. Anything less is detrimental to contributor, agency and industry. Only amateurs set extreme low prices and P5 contributors needed to be viewed as professionals by the industry.

Since Pond5 is my favorite site to submit to, I suggest faster review times would be helpful.

Why, why, why does it still lowercase every title and description?

Gold medal for persistence, Sean! It's been a year and a half since you've been asking this legit Q and still no answer. RESPECT!

It would be very interesting to hear highlights of their 1-2 year strategic plan.  Pond 5 is one of our few lumps of coal that can become a diamond with a good strategy.  When I say lump of coal I don't mean to be derogatory.  They have potential. And they have potential to be a leading provider of visual content that both buyers and contributors love, AND LOVE TO SUPPORT.  For me they are the only fair trade site that actually gets me sales, both in stills and video, but they trickle in unpredictably.  One month I make $150 then next $12.

Tickstock and KB brought up very valid points.  For me, money is king. Keywords are important and so is fixing cheap seat pricing. I am wondering how many $30-$60 sales have been lost to $5 HD videos. This is destructive to the market, both in terms of long term sustainable commissions and conditioning of buyer behaviors. Buyers who find a $5 or $10 video once will now look for $5 or $10 videos next time because they know they exist. This to me is a killer and should be fixed. The integrity of P5 should be that we have content that meets these XX standards and, consequently, our lowest price is $30 per HD clip. Clean up the keywords to make the buying experience easier. Identify your differentiators and exploit them. If you don't have any, develop some with all those high paid executives you have.

P5, you have potential and we sure could use a great partner to represent us. A world class partner and one who doesn't look at contributors as expendable pawns once your collection becomes so large that you can treat us like sh!t and accept a level of defects from contributors who helped make you what you are.
