What to do to increase views and sales on pond5?

Hi, i´ve made a hand of sales in the last months, esp. during the time when i used google adwords, then came a big drop, some views and bin adds, low card adds and no sales. I use twitter and sometimes facebook, make some "free"-ads, price is between 20-25 $ ... any ideas what to do?

Haha! A lot composers have same problems ;)

Not so funny for me. Sales are dead now.

GrantTregellasMusic, same for me, views and CA, but no sales ... ;)

Pond5 changed their search algorithms to favor the artists with hundreds (if not thousands) of sales. That way, customers will for sure buy something and Pond5 is pretty much guaranteed revenue. Rather than a producer shopping and ending up in a different library after not finding what they were looking for. Sad, but true.

hm, maybe time to say goodbye ,;)

Brennan, do you have a source for this news?

Drop in sales here, too...

I no longer have sales, it stopped about 2 month ago and despite increasing number of files by about 1/4 of my collection since then.

I noticed also that among best of week, there are no longer After Effects templates (which used to sell in several copies like some music files do), which also indicates that something changed.

Pond5 is best for contributers in theory, no other even close second to Pond5, but without sales, everyone uploads his or her fíles everywhere else, too and the downward spiral continues.
