HI im new to the website. I live in Arizona. There is a lot of beatiful scenery here in Arizona. I shot some desert landscape, cactus, flowers etc. I am posting one clip of a cactus i shot today. How do i know when someone wants to buy my clip and how do i go about pricing my clip. I use a p2 hvx200a the clip was shot on 720. Thank you.

You lucky guy with the beautiful scenery. I am nearly as new as you are - but live in Denmark, where there is less scenery and absolutely no light at this time of year. Lead gray layers of clouds and nearly dark during the day.
Okay, though very new myself I would suggest that you let the reviewer set the price. (Set the minimum price and check the box letting the reviewer decide). As to knowing when people are interested be sure to check the Verbose box on the page showing your uploads. This will show you the statistics of viewing/lightboxes, etc. You can also use the tab called "View CSV" to view a list of the same information.

Since Niels already gave a complete answer, I'll just add "Welcome to Pond5"! ;-)

Hey, AZ is my turf! - Ok, just kidding... I just got me about 75 clips last week in the desert that are in the queue. One really can't say what goes and what doesn't - I have been surprised by what sells. My take is that if it is HD it should be at least $50.00/clip or more. SD can be a bit less, but I have a strong belief that if it is unique then go by your gut and price accordingly. The buyers typically know how a shot is made and how difficult (or not) it can be. So common sense also works well. When a clip is sold, you will be notified by P5 as well as it showing up in your back end control panel.
