General - Stock Video / Re: Which smaller sites are worth it?

Just read in the other thread you have AE templates too. So you can try Videohive. It is good for AE templates but not for footage.

You pretty much covered almost every site I upload to.
At 123rf I only have 30% of my portfolio because of laziness. Slow sales but better than no sales.
The only one I am contributing to you did not mention is Canstock. My earnings almost match exactly my earnings at Clipdealer. And uploading to Canstock is not much work. So if you would add sites I would recommend 123rf and Canstock.

Need help again please.
I only have two photos left and I want to keep one in my portfolio at least for now.
My problem is I cannot decide which photo to keep.
1.Photo of a beautiful pink flower
2. Photo of a moldy,rotten apple
Such a hard decision.

Hi all. I need help please.
I wanted to start to delete my files but somehow I am to blind to find a delete button.
An advice on how to delete would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Happy deactivation day to you all.

General - Stock Video / Re: ClipDealer review time?

« on: January 29, 2013, 05:18 »

Same problems here. And I also think they do not longer care that much. I think they are running the place at half power and see if it works out the next one or two years.
Anyway I thought of dropping them but then today an encouraging 30€+ sale came in so I made the decision I will continue to mass upload every 2 month or so when I have nothing better to do and lots of free time

Pond5 / Re: Is Pond5 still the best for submitting video

« on: January 17, 2013, 06:15 »

For me it is still the best but since last August Shutterstock is not far behind. One month with equal earnings on both sites and one month Shutterstock was even better.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Noticeable slow April - Minus 30%

« on: April 30, 2012, 03:08 »

I`m down about 400$ compared to March which might be peanuts for lots of the pros here but it is a very huge drop for me. I hope the next month will be better.
Wish you all lots of sales.

« on: April 29, 2012, 02:35 »

I uploaded 65 videos at 123rf to test the water. So far I got 2 nice sales in early april. After that I uploaded another 50 videos because it could be worth it but after several weeks they are still in the review queue.

Yes you get free credtis if you get photos accepted. But you also get sales and I never got a sale for less than 0,87€. Last weekend I had a sale for 12,87€. It`s not all about sharing. If you get "creative stock images" accepted with a decent commercial value, you`ll get a decent return. For me about every second or third download is a paid download.
I just love them because its the stock site where I got my first sale ever in 2009 when I started.

General - Stock Video / Re: Any one familiar with stockmediapro? They sell footage, animations, ae projects

« on: February 14, 2012, 01:29 »

I`m not contributing to them so I don`t want to say anything false but I think you will not get a decent return from stockmediapro.
Small collection and it is hard to find more than a few videos that have sold. I could be wrong but I would only upload if I get very bored.

General - Stock Video / Re: Selling Video sites?

« on: February 11, 2012, 04:28 »

I have a small portfolio with mostly nature shots so I`m not a high volume seller. So I have slow sales on low earners like Clipdealer and Clipcanvas but Clipdealer is doing much better for me.
