Hello, I am new to the stock music world. I uploaded six musical pieces, but have not received any views for any of them. Would anyone mind critiquing my music as well as provide some advice for a newbie to find more success?

I don't think it has anything to do with your music. You have 6 in a sea of over 410K pieces of music.
This topic comes up from time to time, I would suggest the same to you, be patient and upload a lot and different than other people are.
Good luck to you

Very cool pieces! Really like them. But as Jake says - you need to play the numbers game and get lots of content in motion.

Make sure you are promoting your music, don't just upload it and let pond5 do all the work.

Dear TellYouWhatMusic,
This is something we all want and need. First. DON'T SPAM...just a word of a advice, secondly, yes numbers do play a role in how many tracks you will lease but keep in mind that if you have great music, chances are - music supervisors will notice.
As for the views...I don't think they actually work. I have only leased 4 tracks here at pond5 so far and some of those sales I never had a "view" listed...
Personally, I would work on your artist profile...maybe put together a personal website. Get talking to producers and most of all be friendly!
Be sure make great descriptions and keywords...point people to pond5. If you check out MuscoSound's website - http://www.muscosound.com/, you'll see what he is talking about...Promote your own music and use pond5 as your...check out lane.
I personally have http://www.NathanLuisSteinke.com (still working on this one) and http://www.liftedCREATION.com. Not as grand as Musco's but it gets the job done.
Otherwise love the live sound you got going on and the instant familiarly of your tracks. Well done.
Sincerely,

P.S. If you want to be pointed in the right direction, I have wrote a detailed post here at pond5 on my biggest mistake of last year - COMPOSERs, PUBLISHERs and PROs - Oh My! Start on page one. You can thank me later and maybe send me some good vibes...
