Income down 75% since going exclusive!

My sales income has declined 75% since going exclusive with Pond5.com. Anybody having this issue. I'm wondering if Adobe stock is taking sales- any ideas?

Hey,

You mean sales on Pond5 itself?

50% less since the change...i'm not exclusive....

I am not exclusive, although I have many more files on Pond5 than I do elsewhere. My last sale was an HD video, for which I earned $1.17. I decided to raise all my prices, because that is an insulting amount to receive for a professionally shot HD video. So now I have raised all my prices on Pond5 by 40-50 percent.

I have experienced the same thing.. went exclusive with 5000 clips and made a new non exclusive account for about 40 top selling clips.. No sales on the top selling clips over 3 months, income on other exclusive clips down 80%. So far it was a really bad idea.

I did not go exclusive, but things have been bad since April.
Right now I am down between 50 and 75%

So maybe Pond5 is dyeing???

As for me, my income started slowly to grow. Not many sales, but more income per sale.

Hello.
My sales have dropped as well, around 75/80% since May.

Pond5 has made bad move after bad move for years. They are now finally catching up to them. For whatever reason they can't seem to be able to make sales anymore and the ones they do make are with super steep discounts. Don't fall for the "we want to stop the race to the bottom" BS. They are now the industry leaders in the race to the bottom. I feel sorry for anyone that trusted them and put even a small amount of clips as exclusive. Don't know why someone would continue keeping them as exclusive at this point.
