Neophyte/Newcomer

Have been perusing a lot of member's music here, and there sure is so much great material to be found! Even still, I thought I should give it a stab... 13 of my submitted tracks have all been reviewed and approved, but so far, no views. I realize I'm very new on Pond5, but was wondering what the average wait has been before y'all started to notice any view activity? Thanks for your time and any feedback!

For me, it takes longer than I thought, or want. Like months or longer. I do periodic reviews of sales and views data. Most of my tracks that are a few months or newer have very few or no views. Tracks that are a few years old have more views. I have not quite figured out how to consistently get dozens or hundreds of view, but I'll keep trying. What has worked well for me over the last few years:

- Consistently upload quality tracks. For me, that's probably an average of 12 per month. One easy way to get that number up is to do alternate mixes: full mix, no melody, DnB, no piano, 60 second, 30 second, etc.
- Good titles including a brief description. "Dear Santa - Happy Holidays Christmas - (no guitars 60 sec)"
- Fill out as many appropriate metatags as possible, and write an actual description for the track.

I also occasionally post links on social media, and I have dabbled with running Facebook ads. I don't have enough data on those to draw any concrete conclusions on how well or if they work.

The short version is, the market is flooded with supply and it takes a long time to even get noticed, much less start making sales.

Thanks, Ron! I appreciate and value your input and experience here and thank you for your reply! Particularly frustrating when you know that you are noticeable but not being noticed...! Hanging in there though. Wish you continued and much success, man!
