Are my clips too expensive?

Hey! So far I haven't sold a single clip, I know I don't upload new clips on a regular basis but I do have a fair amount of visitors and views. So, am I missing certain types of clips? Is the quality not good enough? Am I wrong for uploading in 50fps? Or, am I pricing my clips wrong?
I would love to get some feedback, thanks!

Dear Greebo,
I see drone footage and less than 96 clips with 1 or 2 specific themes. Don't worry too much in quality - it's fine. It really depends more in what client is looking for. My best advice is constant upload on regular basis. Try to diverse a little bit more in subjects and use other cameras too and not just aerials. Normally sales start a few months after but it depends in what you have to offer. Please check contributor portal. you got really nice tips that will help you too.
oh! one more thing please avoid major trends. They are highly saturated and chances to sell in these topics are less than something specific.
All the best for your sales. regards.

Hi JUMPCUFILMS, thanks for the feedback! I'm not worried about the quality since I'm shooting on the P4P+ Advanced(which is their latest/best drone) if anything I'd worry about the gradings not being neutral enough or the prices being too high for this platform. I do wish I was able to fly more often but I live inside a giant no-fly-zone... What I don't understand is why one needs to upload regularly? Why would that matter? I do understand that its good to have many diverse clips, of course, but I keep hearing that I should upload regularly and I don't understand why that would matter at all? Just this last month I have had 100 people visit my page, so people are definitely checking out my shots but their not buying, that's why I wondered if my clips are too expensive?
Thank you once again for your feedback :)

I think you're fine, but you need definitely more clips and different themes. If you have 2000 clips from the same location with similar aesthetic, chances are their collective value is the same as 10-20 clips of the same thing. There is only so much demand for any kind of footage, so if you already have a lot of similar clips, I would consider the theme to be covered and move on to something else. Also a lot of my clips took months to get a first download, sometimes even a year. Just keep going, the purpose of consistently uploading is to get new sets of eyes on your clips when they are fresh. Also it steadily increases your size of portfolio, which is needed. I would go for a few hundred at least if you want to see regular sales.
