Title: Wow, SS footage reviews within "5 min"... great
Post by: gemmy12 on September 13, 2012, 11:08
Cant believe it. I have been waiting my initial footage waiting to be reviewed in Pond5 for last 1 month. So i thought to try SS meanwhile and amazingly they approved my footages within 5 mins lol
I think this quality also makes SS different from others. :)
How are you guys selling video in SS ?

I have stopped uploading images to micro at present. Seems everyone is busy/competing to improve their video section.
PS- i uploaded some more video files and again they got accepted even faster lol seems today ss video editors are in mood of working fast ;)

yep, SS has been really fast with footage reviews lately, and their editorial policy is much more reasonable than for images.  sales have been ok - with pond65 still outperforming

pond5 reviews have always been slow - 2 wks or more

i sent some to 123 and fotolia, but no sales at all there

and what about IS ? Review time and sales? anybody starting somewhere as video exclusive ? i have not dared yet to submit my initial videos to IS...
ps- i never wanted to start my video selling with subscription site (i am opt in for subs in ss) but m loosing my patience with p5.. 1 month.... its too long to wait. But hope SS will do better with my video files as well. Atleast wont test my patience. and bit more bulks too ;)
