Yeah
really frustrating!
Last year i got like 3- 5 sales a month and this year i sold 1 clip + 1 refund.
And at the same time.
Adobe, Shutterstock and Pond5 increasing almost every month.
Feels like my port is invisible.
Could it be that i'm penalized in some way?
Earlier this year i had problems with my connection.
That caused 4000 few second clips.
They all show now on the rejected count....

Almost BME
Pond5 on fire this month. 90% of this months income. Only 4k sales.
Shutterstock second worst month this year.
Adobe slow
Videoblocks nothing
Is anyone else seeing a shift from HD to 4k?
70% of last 3 month sales 4k.

I would like to hear that too!
And would like to hear about the opportunity to set my own prices.
There's been chat about that for years now, but nothings happened.
I would like to send my stuff to videohive, but never at those prices.

Why would anyone want to sell 4k on istock?
That's just crazy!

3000 and I sell 30-50 clips every month.
Since pond5 is the only one I can set the price.
That's the only one I've experimented with.
I've tried all prices between $50-150 HD and $100 - 250 on 4k. (3 month periods)
I count a sales views ratio.
I get a sale every 30 views.
That dosen't change, if the price is between $50-80 Hd or $160-180 4k.
After those levels the ratio goes to 1 sale of 50 views and that makes less money for me.
Then there's few clips that even sell on $100 Hd and $250 4k.
My porfolio is very average.
Mostly useful areals and time lapses
I can easyly se someone more talented having better ratio than me.
I just hope people read this and understand that low prices won't make them more money.

Ive tried plenty of different prices and right now my clips are
Premium 4k $250, HD $100
Standard 4k $180, HD $80
I sell about 10 clips a month on Pond5

To low prices!
$25 is psychological. Buyer thinks clips are low quality.

BME! Mostly cause of my first premium license sale on pond5.
But strong on every site.
Good mix of new and old stuff
My almost 4 month saleless period even ended on videoblocks.
Just couple of sales and one refund, but now I know that i'm still visible there 😁

We all know where this is headed!
We really need a opt out, or the footage market will be completly ruined in no time....

Last sale december 21th.
Before that minimum of 5 sales a month.
Still someone else with zero sales this year?

BME! Mostly cause of 3 huge editorial sales to one client, on shutterstock.
I made $120 each. Does anyone know what kind of licence it is.
The earnings table shows clip packs, but doesn't that mean that they cost $360 each?

I Price my 4k footage 200-250$ and HD -50% of that and I get regular sales with them.
My videos are nothing special. Couple days ago i sold a clip of me driving on a winter day.
A video that anyone could have made for 250$.
Rise your prices and enjoy the money.
Im so tired of people selling nice footage for crazy low prices like 10-50$, when they could get lots more.

Are they F****** kidding me.
365 images rejected, cause of to mutch noise: (100%/batch)
"Unfortunately, these images are too noisy and cannot be accepted. We'd really like you to submit again, so here are some tips about noise: Noise may be caused by a high ISO, inadequate light conditions, or insufficient quality of image sensor. We would like to suggest examining your images at 100% resolution before uploading, to avoid this in the future. Thank you for your understanding."
Atleast 2/3 of these files are already been accepted, on other sites (ss, fotolia, dreamstime, dp and 123rf)

I dont like it.
Very little sales on files that are 3 months old or newer.
Only files that sells are the old ones.
I get few downloads on just approved photos, but then pics just vanish.

Fotolia beats shutterstock, second month in a row.
Earnings 14% more, sales 14% less.

Last month Fotolia made me more money than SS by 10%, but less downloads 38%.
