@SevArt. Couldn't resist.

@Tiberio> You need to either sell ten times more videos OR Raise your prices to $100. Either would get you to $2000. You say you sell clips at $10 each so using your number do one of those.

Because you're getting sales, buyers are finding you. So why worry about not seeing your work in Default or Number Of Sales? Who has time to look all the way through to make sure they aren't there. And besides, there's no telling how P5 sorts out its Default page. One of my photos is still on the first page with only 6 downloads and 76 views.

Incredible at best. Too bad it's probably not sincere since this last week you told the world that you have the answers and no one else does. I'll bite and see if your truly now a gentleman.

Suggestions:
Don't be so damn argumentative, make friends so those who have figured it will want to help. With nearing 2 million footage you will be lucky to be anywhere near first 20-50 or even 100 pages. With almost 10,000 clips I'm very seldom on first 20 pages; yet it works. There is a real perception of quality .... cheap is low quality quality even when technically its not. Use a tripod, it's easy to add motion later. Don't spam keywords and descriptions. If using a keyword generator each clip needs individual adjustment. i.e. if no face is shown words like smile, face, laugh are spam words. Use your own keywords and descriptions, don't copy others or you will be in direct competition; then quality, equipment and reputation at that agency better be the best. Why would any agency want to sell a $15 clip when there is a similar and equal quality selling at $40 and hundreds more at $99 and up. Not really that many open subject matter. Competition is more on perceived quality. Fill in all the P5 form including location, date, camera make / model and ensure the buyer knows what they are buying as far as equipment quality that they are willing to accept. Type of camera tells a buyer a lot as far as noise, sharpness, contrast, video camera transfer rate, codex and camera compression along with data/bit rate. Many buyers will bypass a file with limited information for one that is more accurately described. The small previews are not much good, buyers want the full story to help with the puzzle.
And I know you will revolt at the big one, after quality and keyword / descriptions are fixed, double your prices and your income will almost double. It takes time, most tests of several months in length are too short. Price competition is such a minor factor. Quality and accuracy along with the quantity competition.

You just got an honest perspective, now lets see if you can grow up and learn. And as your e-mails all are religious centered blessings and use the term friend ... lets see. This is your chance to show.

My above post was made prior to receiving his threatening law suit focused and directed to a group of great P5 artists.

@SevArt. Should have listened to you. His posts have vanished.

Kalani, I feel some of our friends have been disconnected from the forums. I am not sure though.
