1. You have ONLY 50 files now. Not even started your work...
2. Prices are extremly low. By beeing so cheap you tell your clients subconsciously about the low value/ quality and it doesn't want to work in the opposite way ;)
3. Photos have very poor and flat light, there's also nothing exceptional in the shoots. Why would anyone buy it? Ask yourself.
4. Learn and improve your post processing. Really.
5. What about keywords, proper title, description? Btw keywords - why are you spamming? Did you just copy/ paste file by file?
Look at this melon picture:

And the tags you have here:
,melon, background, fresh, sweet, orange, green, cantaloupe, healthy, food, yellow, wooden, diet, fruit, slice, raw, ripe, juicy, half, white, melons, summer, natural, water, organic, freshness, yellow, melon, citrus, onion, ingredient, design, natural, farm, vegetarian, product, round, gold, vegetable, 3d, nature, reflection, decoration, sweet, fruit, season, easter, ripe, organic, biological, illustration, green, collection, vector, vegetables, fruits, color
Mixed up totally. Why?
And you've put it as description!
You welcome.

First your portfolio is too small. There are people on pond5 with 30,000+ videos. You have to think about how many other people have similar videos that you are competing against. One example is your fidget spinner isolated on white. There are over 1700 other videos on fidget spinners. Flowers, ducks, sunsets and many other subjects are extremely saturated. Unless you have a unique location, a special rare flower or something those wont stick out.
Keywording is very important. I didnt look at your key words, but make sure they are relevant but also point out what is unique. If you have a sunset over a specific high interest area, make sure to include that. I have sold some pretty generic videos because they were at certain locations that are not saturated.
IMHO photographs are not a big selling point. At least for me. I've sold maybe 2-3 photos in a couple of years. From other comments I've seen a lot of people agree. It may not ring true for everyone though.
