Hmm. Nice.

For me - not sure what happened... Last year - was consistently doing well - so uploaded a set of about 1,000 new videos. Sales tanked by about 90% almost overnight to my utter shock, and for probably 6-7 months really didn't do that well. I asked the staff - and just got a stock reply basically saying 'hmm. oh well'. I was very sad.

Slowly it seems to be growing again. I hope I see the same kinds of results you have soon, because that is very nice.

Congratulations.

Thank you!!  It seems like Pond5 is doing better since the price structure change to 2 tier system.

blvdone, nothing can be said without seeing the video that was bought from you at high prices. Accordingly, all your conclusions are just your slogans.

I'm not even talking about the fact that I can draw a table similar to yours in any graphics editor.
 

While it may be true someone could post 'fake screenshots' - I doubt that is the case here. He's not trying to sell any 'get rich quick from my video course' type of stuff, and has consistently provided interesting and valuable posts, so there would not really be any point for him to 'make' stuff up.

It is believable. You have the right content, that people need - they have the budget to buy it, so they do. Lol - part of the reason I'd like to see similar results soon

That is very encouraging! Congratulations!!!

I personally don't understand why people post on youtube how to make money on stock videos/photos to create their own competitors.  You may make a few bucks, but eventually your new competitors will eat your cut of the pie.

Congratulation, I believe You. I post on YT because I like to share with other people, competition is good for any business, imagine if we have only one stock agency

I had 9 sales on Pond5 for yesterday's report totaling nearly $1,000 royalty.  That's what I love about Pond5.  Although sales have been inconsistent on Pond5 this year, they still deliver occasionally.  I'm all exclusive on Pond5 and get 60% royalty on my videos.  My RPD was over $100/clip for yesterday's report.  On Adobe Stock, Shutterstock and other subscription sites, you only get less than $10/clip for a sale now.  That's sad.  Yes, buyers pay $149/HD if they can't find the same clip on Adobe Stock, Shutterstock or other subscription or unlimited download sites.  They save money using sub and unlimited sites, and spend the rest of their budget on Pond5 for the clips they couldn't find on other sites.  Until a few years ago, all stock video buyers used to pay per clip for decent price.  So, it's nothing new for them to pay decent price for clips especially for big budget project, production and companies.

Impressive!! Congradulations Blv
