And you never know if the sales numbers are true. If you delete all your files, you get a peace of mind.

What do you gain by deleting them? Why not save the effort and leave your clips up there for perhaps the occasional sale?
I just don't feel safe leaving my clips on the site that rarely has sales. Also, I know that their curation sucks and not promoting my clips. You end up with no hope. Just save a headache and forget about them.

Not enough sales. 0 sales last 2 months.
Shutterstock, Pond5, VideoBlocks and Dissolve are the only sites worth uploading and tagging for video now.

I'm deleting all my files from there (and Motionelements) because of low sales. I got paid on time before, I think.

For those interested, my payment issues still not resolved and July's payment carried over to August (yet again).
Sorry to hear that. I got paid yesterday as promised. 3 prompt payments on the 15th of following month.

I'm deleting all my files from Revostock when I have time. Not worth committing to that site for me. Sales aren't good enough. However, I got paid promptly when I requested payment, I think.

Stop wasting time uploading your precious video files to iStock!!! They sell you cheap and don't sell much either!!

Did anyone got their payments??
I was wondering that they have unlimited library and marketplace too,
Do people earn in unlimited library too?? means how are the earning determined..
I got paid promptly on the 15th of the following month already. I'm sorry to hear that some foreign contributors are having problems. They should definitely do something quick.

It's odd how different contributors have different experiences.
I read these rah-rah posts by helloitsme (and admittedly don't understand why he or she so strongly wants to encourage competitors to join them, thereby diluting their sales) and wonder what I'm doing wrong. VB remains a distant #3 for me, well behind SS & P5. Also, while others report P5 sales drying up, mine have remained quite steady. (Well, until this month, which admittedly is below average so far.)
I don't mean to imply that anyone isn't reporting exactly what they are experiencing. Just that many of us do seem to have quite opposing experiences.
I'm just trying to exchange informations on the state of different stock video sites here. You speculate too much. I think it's actually good if all the major video contributors upload their footages to VideoBlocks because that'll attract more buyers to become members there and buy there instead of other lower commission paying sites. You just think differently than I do because I don't think it's "diluting" contents. Some people here are too negative and pessimistic no matter what. I believe that stock video industry including major sites like SS, P5 and us creators grow and expand together.

Try posting this question on the IS forum, you will probably get a more accurate answer.
OK, but over there it's mostly photographers and not videographers maybe.

Anybody still selling there? Can a non-exclusive contributor achieve "Signature" video clip status rather than cheap "Essential" clip?

Better than Pond 5 not Shutterstock " yet " ...something's wrong with P5
I definatly agree with this. I was doing great there then three months ago it just stopped, literally as the next month began. Three months of 1-2 sales now.
VideoBlocks may be eating up P5 sales.

Pond5 has been inconsistent while Shutterstock keeps doing good job getting buyers although commission is generally low.

Yes i love their business model and it is really working  hope not to disappoint me in the future...second earner for me in June.
Wow! Better than ShutterStock or Pond5? That's' so fast.

I like what I'm getting from VideoBlocks so far. It's possible that VideoBlocks become #1 earner sometime next year. Power of 100% royalty commission is real!

Can someone tell me how videoblocks pay 100% of the sale for the contributir? What is the catch? Also if i submit footage is it exclusive??

No catch. They are just good people.

My approval rate for photos on SS is close to 100% these days. Since I upgraded my camera to Canon 1DC, approval rate went up. Also, I made technical improvement as well. Flotilla reject many more photos than SS these days for a reason of similar photos.

Well I think hes saying that's why for May he had lots of sales but none for June? As the free downloads needed to be used by the end of May. So for many people they may have thought WOW Videoblocks is great - but in reality they were free downloads and since they've been taken away all the sales are gone. That's how I read it anyway.

This is exactly what I was trying (but apparently failing) to say  I'm not saying this is a fact but it's what I'm thinking based on my own experience.
Now I got it. haha.

Got it. Thank you for the explanation.

I'm not saying they gave our work away for free without paying us. If I remember correctly, they gave every subscriber a free download but they paid us full price for the download.
So, what's the problem then?

Hmm...after 6 sales in May I got a big fat zero sales in June. I recall reading where they were going to give all their current subscribers a free marketplace download. I kinda figured that was where my May sales came from and if so, that would explain why June sales dried up for me.
I'm sorry, but I don't think they ever gave free marketplace download. All the free downloads are from their own collection of clips. If they give our works for free, everybody will leave ASAP and will sue them too.

"helloitsme" is a part of videoblocks?
I do not believe in mass of customers.
(my opinion) sry 
No, sir. I just have a good expectation for them and am happy the sales are growing rapidly (at least for June).

Not me. 
But at least I did have a sale there last month.
It's in the early growing stage there.

I assume everybody is doing well there too. Congrats!

I'm hoping it will eventually catch up with SS and P5 in a few years.
