All contributors should withdraw clips from P5 membership program.  It just isn't good for us.

Has your total revenue increase selling for membership files?  How many files?  I'm not a part of the membership sellers, but am wondering if it's good for contributors to participate in the membership sales. 

It seems like that's the reason Pond5's total revenue for contributors seem declining these days, but I really don't know.  If it's bad for contributors as a whole, I hope they stop the membership program.

Wait, only in February you shouted that new management doing great job this year.

So what?  I'm talking about this week.

I don't know why I can change the price of some photos.  Maybe it has to do with how many sales the photo has made and my contributor level based on past sales.  I change XS price to 3.  That automatically changes the X price to 90, but you can set at 100 if you want.

XS price [1-3] X price [90-100]

So this Craig guy stole $60k of our money and who know what he spent that money for.  What a douche bag.  What he did should be criminal.  If he has a conscience, he will pay us from his future income.

Fotolia is showing a clear sign of video sales growth probably due to the Adobestock integration.  This year's growth is accelerating now.  I'm seeing 3-4x sales compare to last year's same month.  Please don't tell anybody about this because it will "dilute" my sales.  LOL.

strange post, why the need to broadcast

I don't see the harm. People broadcast bad news on here all the time, so why not some good news as well?

Have we gotten so jaded that we think a bit of good news sounds...strange?

Agreed.  I'm sick of many whinos here.  Purpose of my post was to see if others are having similar surge in video sales on Fotolia.  Ain't nothing wrong with it.

My Pond5 stats have just reverted (temporarily?) to the old bar chart format. This shows stats from 7th September 2015 to present date. As far as I can recall, the total of views in this period is close to the global views figure I last saw on the rather useless new stats page yesterday. Sales figure too looks like it  covers the same period. So, I think the answer to your question is 32 weeks.

Thank you.  I don't see the bar chart.  With just total numbers for 32 weeks or whatever the duration is, I can't tell any trend.  So, it's still useless, I think.  I hope Pond5 will do something about it to show more recent trend.

Nobody knows?

I'd like to thank the members here that clued me into Videoblocks. Made a few grand off that tip so far. Keeping a great company like that a "secret" would be a total d!ck move. The beauty of a place like MSG is that artists can share the good as well as the bad. I know many of you have an instinctual urge to undermine your "competitors" and do nothing but complain, insult and try to drag everyone else down around you. That's a depressingly lonely way to go through life.

I totally agree with you!

I got the sales report last night which is dated April 16th.  Before that was April 11th. 

That's too low.  Buyers who want 4k video will pay $120+ easily.  4k files sell for about $200 on other sites. 

UPDATE! - Total $62628.50 between 51 contributors!

We need to be careful with small stock agency that may be scamming contributors by not paying what they should pay us. 

February and this month has been much slower than previous few months.  I wonder if they are cooling down now.  How's everybody's sales over there for the last few months?
