Hi Elena

I don't think there is anything wrong with your material. Stock is a numbers game - the more you upload the more you sell! Also it can take a while to get established, don't get too disheartened you have some nice stuff, give it time and it will sell.

Hi, TheEngineer, thank you for the answer. Don't you think it was a good idea to change prices? (it was from 10 to 50).

Like TE said. You only have 34 files for sale. With that number compared to all the products on this agency as well as many other agencies I would be very surprised if you get any or few sales. Get several hundred online and give it a year. If you have quality you will be successful. Remember that selling for $10 will only get you $5. For most music plan on only a couple sales a year on the best ones. Can you afford to only make $10 a year on the ones that actually do sell? If you sell quality, low pricing usually will not improve you long term profit.
Good Luck

Elena, it's slightly different for musicians than for visual artists or sound FX contributors. The key to getting initial sales is to be found in search. When photo/video artists or sound FX contributors upload, it is natural for them to give their work descriptive titles. That also makes it easier for producers looking for specific content. If they're looking for footage of a forest fire RekindlePhoto's footage with "forest fire" in the title will likely appear near the top of the results, increasing his chances of selling it.

As music composers, we tend to give our work abstract titles that are not search friendly. Most content producers looking for music search based on a style they want or an emotion they want to convey. Thus I have found that my best-selling work tends to have titles like "Ambient Ominous" or "Sense of Foreboding," and I've begun writing with this market and its unique needs in mind. Also, don't be afraid to use keywords in the item descriptions, as these also increase your chances of appearing near the top of search results (when the buyer searches based on context rather than sales).

Once you get sales, they tend to build on themselves in two ways. First, your work appears in the "just sold" area of the home page and attracts attention and follow-on sales. Second, your work appears higher in context searches when "sales" is the main criteria.

As far as pricing, with your obvious skill and excellent tools at your disposal you should be able to command a premium over the site average of about $24 (US) if you can be found. Good luck!

Oh, thank you all, guys, you gave me hope indeed...
