Selling

Hello Everyone ..

Thanks in advence

You need not give up ... but you do need many more clips. You have some nice clips, and good instinct. Do not lose hope so soon!

Also, your audio is inconsistent and not really proper. Many of your clips should not have audio at all, but in the instance you feel it appropriate to have audio to convey sense of place/ambience, etc., make sure you do not talk, there is no music playing, car engine off. Make sure you have audio is both channels .. many of your clips have it only in left side.

In your clips, when the camera is still on tripod, do not move it jerkily in the shot. Set it up first THEN shoot.

Some of your keywords have the wrong spelling. English has many words that sound the same, but meanings can be very different. For instance, I suspect your clip "At Gaza Beach at Mourning", which is a nice clip although the audio is only on left side, the word "mourning" (spelled that way means sadness/grief after someone dies) should be "morning" ... (as the sun comes up/early day) and you are consistent in your error, but as this is in your keywords, it can really affect whether a buyer finds your clip if they are looking for "sunrise". I noticed a few others of your titles like this ...

It is a long road, this stock business, and as you will find out if you stick around, it is really good sometimes and really bad others, and it is hard to make sense of it.

Good luck!

Totally agree. You only have a few over 100 total clips, P5 is 7 million and probably tens of million total at various other agencies. You have subject matter that is in the news so they have a great opportunity of making sales but quantity very important and like he said quality is required. No shakes or movement, no wind crackle or noise and audio only if it adds to the subject matter. I had some rejected a while back that were aerials from an aircraft and I chose to leave the engine noise so buyers could tell it was an aircraft and not a drone. They were rejected and I was told to remove the audio. So don't leave audio unless it's absolutely needed. When you get to a thousand clips you should see "some" sales, until then unless the subject is one of a kind they will be few. Also don't under price them thinking that will help make sales, won't help. Keep the prices up where the value and expenses are covered even if you only make one or two sales on each clip remembering that most of your clips will probably never sell. The standard industry at all the main successful agencies is $79 for HD clips. Good luck.

Thanks Very much "Mizamook" and "RekindlePhoto" for the good advise , I will begin editing my videos and upload more ..
