General - Stock Video / Which smaller sites are worth it?
« on: February 07, 2013, 12:33 »
Most of us know how the main sites perform for video (shutter, revo, pond, istock, fotolia). I'm curious, what have been your experiences when you ventured into new territory?
I recently uploaded a test batch to PIXTA. I thought Japan might be a good market to get into. No sales, so I won't be uploading the rest of my portfolio. I also uploaded to AlwaysHD a long time ago. It was worth it a few years ago, but I have since taken down my portfolio for lack of sales.
However, I tried a couple other sites which have paid off. I made a couple thousand dollars on ClipCanvas in 2012, which is a couple hundred dollars more than Fotolia. ClipDealer has also been worth it for me, with $960 in 2012.
I'm thinking I will upload to 123RF next, so if any of you are already on there, I'd be curious to know how your sales are compared to the main sites.
