Hello everyone, please look at my profile and please tell me what is wrong, why do I have little sales?
Thanks to everyone who responded.

You need more variety. You have a lot of videos of similar things, and those are mostly "unique" but not in the best way. A flower floating on water is fine, looks good. Many of the others I looked at are very strange, with wild movements and odd framerates, plus some colourful ones full of noise. They are extremely niche. You also have a lot of videos of typing into Google. I don't think it's worth spending so much time creating so many clips just of that, all looking the same but with different text.
Also your captions, which are important and there aren't enough characters allowed as it is. You're wasting the limited space by stating it's part of a series, or whatever. All a customer wants to know is what that one video is of.
I suggest you go out where you live with your camera and take some videos of every day things, as a good start at least to get some footage available. That's what I've been doing myself. Ensure they are of high quality, focused and not too jumpy, at standard framerates. Then caption and keyword them with accurate facts about that specific clip.
Good luck.

Thank you very much! I am sure that your advice is as accurate as what you wrote about my rose, it brought me two sales. Can you clarify what you put into the meaning of the words - "everyday things"? Perhaps in my archives there are such shots. Frames about typing, posted recently, I thought the video editors might be interested. I will definitely work on the description and keywords. Thank you for your constructive response. All the best.

You're welcome.
By "everyday things" I mean that often you don't need to try too hard to find subjects. Just take what you see. For example, just walking to the shops you might see people walking into shops, a particularly nice tree, a dustcart picking up rubbish, a pigeon pecking at berries from a bush, etc.. Take videos of those things. I often see simple things like that in the "footage sold" thread.
I'm speaking more as a stock image producer. I'm very experienced with that, but I think the same thoughts are relevant to video.
