Income down 75% since going exclusive!

Of course. When I started with P5 there were less than a thousand clips. At that time 17% of the P5 clips were mine. Sales were low compared to a year ago but the industry was really just getting going. In April of 2019 the sales dropped like a switch was flipped. If it were due to internal competition or other agency competition it would have been gradual over a long time, probably a couple years or more. I do not agree that agency competition would have made such a dramatic and immediate impact. Of course when different agencies market strong there is a slight swing but like all businesses, it's gradual. When the pricing slider was set low to cut out industry standard pricing and when new large agencies came on-board with incentives attached, these were events that were definitely measurable and caused immediate impact on everyone. Of course we must believe that the powers to be have listened and realized that the individual producer is far more important to maintaining a varied quality product than a few large agencies. Let us all hope than some miss-directions have been corrected and loyalty to P5 will return.

P5 is the only agency I have ever heard of that Artists have for over a decade used the term loyalty. P5 has always been the first agency to get all of my work. The last six months has not been fun.

Dear society, please tell me why with $ 15 price on the website comes me 5.25? for sales. Thanks for answer.

Seems MoodMode needs help with his math.

Pond5 never gives %60 to exclusive. They always cut more.

"Pond5 never gives %60 to exclusive. " That's actually not true. Sure, there are discounts, and while there are extended/enhanced licenses they don't necessarily balance them out, but also statistically speaking more full price sales too. To be fair/accurate. YMMV

There is no need to argue, Pond5 doesnt give %60 to exclusive. i am exclusive from the beginning, and my sales also dropped. You guys dont need to go exclusive for more sales

Who is arguing? Make a sale, and you'll get 60% of the sale price after any discounts. Math. Done.
