Off Topic / Re: Russian photographers should be banned!

Global central banks are the problem, not the Russian people.
Ban the banks and implement crypto payments

Pond5 / Re: How has Pond5 been in 2021?

« on: September 06, 2021, 18:46 »

I sell exclusive on P5 and after building it up for the last 2 years its starting to bring me in dollars.
Its good, but don't put all your eggs in one basket. Spread your bets.
Have a non-exclusive selection that goes across the non-exclusive portals (p5 / adobe / SS etc) then have another selection for exclusive. I typically have some of my better shots in p5 exclusive.

Essentially have two accounts at Pond5 registered under the same email: exclusive and non exclusive. You might have to message pond5 support to register it under the same email.

good luck!

VideoBlocks / Request from Videoblocks to have content Member Subscription Library

« on: February 22, 2018, 01:32 »

I've been approached by video blocks to have a large portion of my video library (about 15% of it) put into their membership model. The offered a fairly sizable lump sum, but breaking it down, it works out $34 per clip (not so good). Videoblocks then has a 'buyout' of that content inside the videoblocks / story blocks eco system. I can still sell the same content elsewhere, but I will lose future income from those clips

Has anybody here have experience at at giving videoblocks (or pond5) a set of videos or images in exchange for a lump sum fee? Did it effect the sales from the rest of the library. Opinions / experience appreciated.

thx
Jonathan
