hey man, even that is way too cheap, a lion in a green screen room.. I am not sure how much or how hard that was to film but wow a few grand is not too much tbh.. as of today that is the most impressive video series I have seen on here. In regards to usability , I mean come on, who doesn't want a lion in their video or movie somewhere?
I talk about a bunch of things that can actually benefit you right now in my video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yE0vKsiiVs
But for now and here, a few things you can do to mitigate loss is offer the CLIP for the same price HD or 4k etc.. raise the price, first it is commercial and can be used in so many applications where the application yields a potential payload of cash for the creator and again, your media is extremely rare and not only that the edits look incredible.
Lastly, make sure you are exclusive here, you can contact support@pond5.com and have them help you with changing as long as this is the ONLY place you have the media, your cut will grow from 40% to 60% and Pond 5 will show preference to exclusive media, all agencies do.
Make some HEAVILY watermarked videos and make YouTube teasers and shorts leading people back here. Even exclusive content can be used in this way, but protect your work, I do this a LOT but the reality is even what I show is a very small percentage of what I have or sold.
So there are many things you can do to instantly improve where you are right now. I hope that helps. You can message me if you have any more questions or here, or watch that video and level up bro
