Hi there, I'm having trouble finding where I can note that my content is exclusive to Pond5. How do I do this? Any help would be appreciated!

You have to create a separate account with a different email address. I have two myself, one exclusive and one is not, my other is photoguy5000

@quirkynerdynifty, You don't need two accounts. Here's a link to answer your question.

Dead link bro, however this is a real link with the exact answer.. https://contributor.pond5.com/faq/
..
and this is exactly how to create an exclusive account.
(This is from the Pond 5 FAQ page)
1. Go to the Sell Your Media page and click the “Sign Up Now” button to create your new account. Please note that you will have to use a different email than the one associated with your existing Pond5 account.
2. Next, go to the Exclusivity Program Landing page to enroll the new account into the program.

Just a quick note, they operate as two accounts, they both payout to the same PayPal email, I know this because I have sold on both and received payouts from both. Notifications will be sent to each individual email and they are completely different pages.

Hope it's okay to chime in on this. Just wondering how you decide which content to make exclusive? Is it based on briefs?

@ontherunphoto, It is just a random thing, but I do make sure that if I make the content exclusive it is one shoot, I film everyday, I have an incredible amount of content so when I choose I make sure it is only from that day and it is unique enough to be hard to find somewhere else. I wish I had a better explanation but it started out as a test then I started selling videos at a higher commission so now I upload maybe once a month. I also like having more than once chance to sell so mostly it is 4 main platforms and I sell videos with them also so the non exclusive is cool for that reason. I have 987 exclusive assets on Dreamstime and about 400 on Shutterstock, around 10,000 all together, that is unique not all of my portfolios combined so I have some room to experiment with exclusive content.
I had one thing in mind when I created it, what do I do with footage that I feel is valuable and hard to film? I use my exclusive account for it so I can set my own price as I just started filming accidents and such and I am not letting high value content go for a few dollars.
Hope that helped
