General - Stock Video / Re: Freepik Wants My Videos For A Price

I see your point. The problem is that the transaction is for an indefinite period of time.
So if Freepik were to offer the same commercial model as AS would you accept it?

@Ambu I tend to feel the same as you, but Adobe Stock is doing the same thing with their free collection and contributors are diving into it.
Freepik wants hundreds of videos of mine on non-exclusive model for 7-8$ per video. It is tempting...

@zastavkin Some videos never get sold on other websites and some sells for pennies on SS, AS, etc....

General - Stock Video / Freepik Wants My Videos For A Price
« on: February 16, 2024, 03:57 »
Hello everybody,

I've been approached by a manager from Freepik Company;

- We found your portfolio and we would like you to become a contributor in Freepik as well. This would be a non-exclusive agreement and we would pay you a fixed price for this content that will be offered for free to our users.

Did this already happened to anyone?  What are your thoughts?

@f9photos - I am from Portugal as well. I receive the USD in my Payoneer account and transfer to Euros to my Bank.
What do you do to avoid those transaction fees?

Pond5 / Re: Can I download my content in Pond5

I know that you can download your videos one by one on "my uploads page - edit button", but for the whole portfolio I suggest you contact the P5 team for assistance.

Same here. Poor sales this beginning 2023. Sad!

Nice. It works well!

Adobe Stock / Re: Adobe Stock Free Collection: Video Nominations
« on: October 26, 2022, 15:20 »
They asked for vertical videos claiming they are in high demand. So, I uploaded 100 vertical background animations on July 2022.
Now, in October, most of my vertical videos were selected for the free collection. It doesn't make sense!
They also selected other 997 videos that are in high demand across the other agencies. Many of them have 1, 2 or more downloads at Adobe Stock itself.

Not for me this offer, thanks !

As a test, I uploaded 500 videos about a year ago. Sold 2 videos only = 22$. Depressive  :'(

Thanks !

The last royalty statement I have is from December 1. Is this normal?

Shutterstock.com / Re: Very low video sales
« on: February 07, 2021, 04:12 »
Same thing for me gnirtS

I wish I could quit Shutterstock, but looking at my numbers at Pond5 and AdobeS, that would be the end of me in this business.
January with only 15% comission SS made me 3x what P5 did. Normally its 5x(+).

I did quit Istock and Storyblocks at the time, for the same reasons, but unfortunately I cant afford to do the same with Shutterstock.

Just saw your portfolio. Your animations are great!

I took down my portfolio at Storyblocks when they introduced the new membership program. I wasnt too happy with the 50% cut and the low sales already... AS and P5 didnt took off after that. I am afraid I might have done the wrong move, considering your statistics.


19
Thanks.

I find your earnings very good considering the size of your portfolio.
I have the same earnings in Adobe Stock with 6K videos :(

"Average for the last half of 2019, about $235 a month... average for 2020, about $425 a month."

Can you tell me the size of your portfolio, please?

Adobe Stock / Re: No sales in August
« on: August 28, 2020, 07:56 »
AS is getting worst every month comparing to last years earnings. Very frustrating!!!

2019: JUNE = $ 123.19  / JULY =  $ 238.28  / AUGUST =  $ 155.50
2020: JUNE =  $ 86.34  / JULY =  $ 53.20  / AUGUST =  $ 51.45

If this goes on Ill have to close my account. Not worth all the work!

Adobe Stock / Re: Aldobe stock earnings. Woohoo!!!!
« on: July 29, 2020, 04:03 »
Thousands of videos in my portfolio and only 3 sold this month = 53$
Ridiculous!!!

23
Shutterstock doesn't deserve my editorial videos anymore, but they are the only one that actually sells them :(
Come on Adobe, do something about it!
