i read often "wow, good month / my best month on pond5". I have 9 new tracks online, 3 days ago, and 0 (!) views. The other 14 tracks 0 views in 3 month. One word - frustration.

Write popular tags, edit your track names with some keywords, go to some forums tell about your music, wait... you must got 30-40 tracks else to have sales. I have no many views too, but i have 50 tags in each tracks and so i have sales.

You have 22 files and there are nearly 400,000 music files here and millions on other agencies. You joined P5 six months ago.
I wish you the best of luck .... but really. When you have a thousand clips that have been active for over a year then you can expect some sales, not many but some. When you get to a few hundred you might start making a few.
Just my opinion but synthetic music generated from a computer program at a point there is very little difference. The only thing that can be done if change the tempo or beat. The old disco sound just doesn't have much use anymore. Are you making a sound that is different from the rest of the pack? Noticeability different?
Are your descriptions and keywords better than the other 400,000 files? Keywording music makes it very difficult to stand out since everything is based on one sense; sound. How can words like cool, blue, jazz, surround, enlighten, sacred, response, etc etc ever stand out? It's all perception.
Wish you the best but your presence here at P5 is so small the chance of being found is slim to none unless your music is far and above better than the rest. Music and sounds are a tough sell until you get a name that buyers use your name and not just keywords. Same goes for photos and footage. The best sellers do best because of their reputation. Ask again when you have a thousand music files.

Thanks for your answers. I think the biggest problem on P5 is the search engine, nobody find you. When i upload a song on a other site, i have 80 views in 2 days. Here on P5 4 views in 3 month.
