How to sell videos successfully?

hi you can use a keyword page called im stocker just write the title of your video and it will show you list of similar pics or videos with the keywords .

How long are you on pond5? Everybody said we need lots of footage and patience

Thanks Emma. mystocknow I've been on Pond5 for a few months.

And not a single view? If I saw correct, you only have around 20 videos in your portofolio, they look great but friend of mine told me, and everybody else here, build portofolio of 1000 at least and then, maybe, you will get some sales. I am fresh also in this game, hope to grow, it is slooooow game as I can see. Good luck, to both of us, and to all others reading this...

Your videos look really good too, thanks mate. I have like 5 views total, but not sure if those are my own or not! :) I need to upload more but haven't had enough time yet. I have about 10 videos awaiting review though.

It is not counting your own views I think. If you look for your own videos from different pc, mobile... then it will count it...

@ Geet26 and Global_Focus - Thank you

As far as the keyword questions, I use SS keyword Tool, works great for me. What I am about to say os my own personal opinion, I base this off my sales and my own theory. Your title is your most potent weapon, forget title cutting, I think Pond 5 cuts at 26, I never count tho, I describe the scene as best I can and the same in description, you want your main keywords to be in the title, for instance, if it is a swimming pool, Water filled swimming pool summer fun , get some boosters in there, the words fun, summer are what I call boosters, they grab a few more eyeballs because they are popular keywords by themselves.
Yes patience, a lot of it and a LOT of videos, be diverse and try not to get stuck in a niche, I film it ALL because I now have a access to stats like you will too, to know I need to film X instead of Z, time is limited and editing these videos takes time.
I hope I answered a few questions.
GLWS!

@kreakong - you are doing fine bro, those videos are pretty tight. If time is an issue I would suggest going after what Pond 5 suggests or hot topics like covid, lifestyles is always in demand and I do well with it, not only here but on all the agencies I am on. I personally like to capture our civilization, us, things we do, what we look like, things we made things we destroy, kind of like a historian, for instance I shoot gas prices signs everyday, it is historic and years from now you will see those videos on a random news station or youtube channel and think wow lol. That is the kind of things I film the most. Hope that helped brother, your portfolio looks great man, keep going, you never know when that first sale will come but it will.

I have been on Pond5 for over a year and when I was almost about to give up I got my first sales in Nov last year. I have 80+ videos uploaded and since then I had 3 more sales. So like everyone before me said that you need lots of patience and keep uploading new videos. You will get sales soon. Good luck!!

@Madvideos, wow - thanks so much for that priceless advise! I learned more reading that than I have from doing research for weeks. Very helpful my friend. I will stick with it and keep uploading. And thanks for the encouragement, I wish more people were this helpful! :)
