A good price for my music.

So I'm not the great producer in the world, but I was wonder what others thought I should sell my music for. I'm too close to the fire to smell the smoke, and I am my own worst critic. So I would like an outsider's opinion.
How much is my music worth on Pond5?

I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

I put all my tracks from 36-42$,works well,used to sell my music for the same prices as on other markets but then realized p5 license is worth more,i increased prices and my number of sales remained normal,of course,earnings increased :D

Branco, what do you know about the relation between regular uploading and sales?

personally, i didnt think its related on p5, but i took about a 2 weeks break
from uploading and my sales dropped like 50%.

i intend to stop uploading at the end of this year, so does that mean
i have to expect zero sales soon?

i am not a frequent uploader (maybe 1 track / 2 months!) but still i get regular sales, not so much but at least 1-3 a week
i don't think regular updates matter here.
however, i feel that the number of past sales increase the chance of future sales.
maybe the number of sales an author has enters in some way in the search results, so an author with more sales is shown before an author with less sales.

I don't think regular uploading means a lot on P5,on some other markets it is crucial to get exposure but i rarely sell new items on P5 anyway.In your case i would just say it is a bad luck.
I had 50% drop in sales last month but now i have 3x more sales than average,i learned that there is always rollercoaster with sales in RF world :D

The drop in sales is the result of an illegal algorithm which measures 'creative activity', if you are very active your 'creative activity' score goes up. They should pay €50 per tune upfront.

I'm not sure this is true. I'm very very very active here, with several upload by week, but my experience here with P5 is not so good at these time. Sales are random and very rare. I can fight that only by going into the dumping world, but this is not what I want...
