Hi Michael, first time I've seen your channel. I found Pond5 sales have declined in recent months despite my port growing larger. I would never go exclusive on Pond5. I submit videos and images (focus on video) to Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, iStock and Pond5. Smallest video port on iStock at just over 1500 clips and largest on Pond5 at a bit under 2200 clips. The four sites combined are now making me over $1000 per month (since June 2023) with vast majority of revenue from video. My keyword and descriptions are basically done in a Word file I save with each batch of photos and videos as I find this process efficient. Can just save a previous file with the new contents in a separate folder and adjust the descriptions and keywords where necessary and copy and paste to each submission for each of the sites. Also I find Pond5 is the most tedious submission process of the four and is actually the lowest performing. How is your port performing now as roughly six months has passed since posting this video?
Thank you for the insight. I have got close to zero sales on Pond5. Though my clips are not ideally suited for Pond5. I shoot mostly nature related videos. Matteo Bertoli I think makes good money through Pond5. Would love to see your streamlined editing workflow.
Do worry, you can always, signup with keywording contractors. I have been doing it with my existing clients for 2$/video 1$/image along with 20% share in sales. Thats great deal,and i had doubled his sales every year ever since. However its always subjective to two things, type of content u shoot and quality of ur footage.
I had only one sale is like two. $20 $10 and it took smell lots to do it to upload and the monsters trading as you say is the description know some people doing good money on stocks like 1000 up to $2000 consistently but hell that’s a hell of a job
That Timb vest is fire 🔥 got me melted in the cold
wise words Michael, pretty same experience here. Nice little side income, but tedious work to do...
So now you are printing fake $100 bills and selling cocaine? That'll make much more than selling stock videos!!!
Good morning
Yes I want to see your video editing process

Nature is tough. Everybody can do it so the market is flooded. Unless it is the best of the best, expect low to no sales.
@@FilmshooterOH thank you for the insight. Yes, I see the logic in what you're saying.

You can update ?
we need an update on this please :-)
No longer adding anything to Pond5, this made made no significant difference in stock footage sales which have have been slowly declining each year.
@@MichaelShatravkawhat about the editing process please?
Thank you
It is a tedious process.
facts 💯
This is the most useless way to spend your time and knowledge. Doing stock footages.
