Hi I am a stock photographer but a total newbie in video.
I know I don't have many clips, but it seems that I have no views at all. How do I get views? I thought I am not too bad with keywords, but you never know. Please inspire me! Thanks.

Many of us don't believe view stats are even working. I've had many times where I've had two sales and no views. Just work on quality then quantity .... It all works in the end. Welcome to the wold of footage.

Don't trust views
for example, this clip has sold 5 times with 0 views

With your 21 on-line clips and 1.8 million other clip as competition you have a long way to go. When you get a couple thousand then you have a better judge of how your sales will go. Good luck.

Thanks for the replies and assurance that views are not necessarily related to sales.
Rekindle, I wasn't really worried about sales because I just started here. Only hope to see what clips might get people's interest.

By the way, if anyone cares to critique my clips and offers any tips, I will greatly appreciate!

My experience, especially with music, is that the title needs to accurately describe the clip.
E.G. I had a quirky piece of fake Italian music I wrote and, in a bad pun-like way, I entitled it "Harry Verderci." Result? Nothing. After a few weeks I changed the title to the much less entertaining but far more descriptive "Italian Holiday" and Bingo!
Sadly you need to forget you're trying to be cool and, when it comes to titles, you need to focus on helping your piece sell.
Good luck!

Or you could double up on the naming and do "Harrys potter - flute adventure diddy explicit dirty edition"
