Where do you see how much he has sold ?
You can't, Pond5 thankfully got rid of that tool. It's great IMO, I did look at how many sales some clips had made but at the end of the day it stops copy cats. People need to be creative and not copy others.

I would say he makes a good living out of stock. Huge amount of work has gone into producing 39000 weather/environmental clips, which is a very relevant subject area I'd say.

Used to do very well with Getty/macro but it seems over supply and micros have diminished the price and turnover. All in all both macro and micro have fallen badly in the last year or two. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it's oversupply of high quality images. The buyers are spoiled for choice.

I've had plenty go at the slightly discounted rate. However sold a few at higher rates than previously possible as well, so I think it's better now than it was before overall

6 on Christmas Eve, 3 on Christmas day, only two today, so far. One thing to note... those were all from Videohive, none from anywhere else. Although that's not conclusive proof... it does reinforce my opinion that Envato caters to a different market, which can bring you revenue in addition to the 'big boys'.
I mean, those that can afford to drop $50 to $100 per clip, sometimes on multiple clips, are usually agencies or production houses, all of which would likely be closed Christmas day. Freelancers and one man bands are more likely to be working away, as and when they need to.
I appreciate that the majority of the world may not celebrate Christmas, or be closed on Christmas day, but a very large percentage of all my sales come from countries where Christmas day is a public holiday. Just so you know!
Still offering clips for chump change then?

$25.65 from a total of 2356 files online. Fairly happy with that day.

In my humble opinion Dissolve is a bit of a lemon

I think they want to pay their executives big bonuses for xmas, but don't want to dip into shareholder money. Therefore they decided to only report 10% of sales for a time

I sold 39,702 files in one day!

Cheers dude... not sure what I'd do without you! But yes, you're right about the prominent player part, but that doesn't automatically mean I'm wrong about the pricing part as well. People need to find your stuff, obviously, and they're not going to do that if the site doesn't have any traffic or buyers. But when the buyers do get there, it's not outside the realms of possibility that they'll buy more content as the content is cheaper.
But Videohive does have a lot of buyers, which is one of the reasons why I have a large volume of sales. And one of the reasons why they have a lot of buyers, is probably because they have low prices.
I have an idea for you using your formula for success. Price everything you have at $1 and the turnover should make you a millionaire

"That says it all about the IQ of many suppliers in this industry."
An incredibly arrogant statement. I almost take this personal. 
Don't take it personally. There is truth in the statement.

You want someone to tell you specifically how to price your product. I've explained that you have to make that decision on your own
We're going in circles because you're not reading my posts! I'm not asking for a pricing strategy*, or advice on what I should set my prices at. I'm asking for somebody to explain to me how submitting my work to an established stock selling site that sells HD content for $8, a site that has been doing so for ten years... is going to result in the end of stock footage as we know it. I want to know why pricing low is not sustainable and why pricing high is sustainable.
These are questions I've asked several times and nobody can give me an answer.
*In a couple of posts I've asked why should something be $X rather than $X, but there I'm not really looking for pricing advice, I'm just curious why people have this fixed figure in their head of exactly $X... not $1 more or less.
People probably don't understand why you want to earn less when most content producers are always looking to earn more. Maybe you get a kick out of selling your clips for less than you could and earning less as a result.

Spacestock, What price do you have for your clips on Pond5 out of interest?
$50 for HD and $99 for 4k. I think I have a couple of clips at $25, but they're far from impressive.
Too cheap, you don't do yourself or anyone else any favours by selling so cheap. Try higher prices for a few months and I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised, I know I was.

Is SS dead or is their reporting faulty? I've had 30 months of relatively steady sales average around the $1000 per month. This month is failing badly and looking at historical stats it doesn't make sense.

ok so its def worth uploading everything to video blocks then
You have two different opinions there and you are going with the positive one.
They're both positive. If the site was a waste of time, unsafe and generated virtually no sales... then somebody worried about competition would be actively encouraging them to sign up!
Didn't read it properly.

Alamy are perennial bottom feeders of the editorial world. They take the same approach of many agencies, which is quantity over quality.

Right in this moment in time SS seems completely dead in the water.

My experience this month is an unprecedented free fall in sales. Anyone else?

I keep Getty and Istock separate. My istock portal is 120 photos and a few dozen videos. My Getty portal is 8000 exclusive images

My SS has tanked so far this month. It's a little alarming.

Bottom feeders is just another name for desperation. Stock video is never going to be a turnover game unless you have 10,000 quality varied clips. I don't think the people with super low prices are doing this professionally, more likely they are part time hobbyists.
