Lotsoffootage.com, anyone have any experience with them?

Hey, I've been around P5 for a few years now, I'm always reading the board here but I rarely post.

In december I uploaded a few clips to a site -www.lotsoffootage.com just to see what the process was like (as of right now I pretty much only sell on P5, shutterstock,clipcanvas and Revostock) anyways, I sort of forgot about the site but when I went back to look at it this week I had made a few sales... which seemed pretty cool because within 2 months of being on there I had sold more than I had in a year on Revostock or Clipcanvas. I just wanted to see if anyone else has sold there and if this was perhaps just a fluke or if I should continue to expand my portfolio there.

My portfolio (and a number of others here at P5) is larger than the total number of clips they have for sale.

Hi guys,
I have to say that I had a few sales with them too. I'm there since a couple of month, and I probably have there 400 clips and I sell more there than on Istock, for example....
It's not my best seller but I'm positively surprised...
And I'm not connected with them in any way... :-)
I was waiting for a referral program to start make some advertisememt...

I checked them out because of this thread. I uploaded some files. They need to improve how model releases are attached to files and how we add information about clips. Reviews are still fast. I started uploading yesterday so no sales yet.

No haha I'm not connected to them at all. Like I said I uploaded some stuff and forgot about it, and then went to check what was going on with my stuff (they don't send emails to announce sales or acceptance of files or anything) and found that all my stuff had been accepted and I had made a few sales.

I guess I'll ask here as well, how would you guys rate sites like clipcanvas and revostock? I find some months they make sales but its so sporatic. Pond5 is so consistent, for the past 2 years every month has been better than the last (with one or two exceptions). And Shutterstock is disproportionately awesome as well. I'm selling as many clips on Shutterstock each month as I am on P5 unfortunately they often sell for as low as 5$ so thats rough.

Doesn't it sound a little bad to market or push other agencies here at P5. The P5 team are great and don't moderate the forums much but ... just maybe the discussion should be more P5 oriented and not other agencies. Or as a minimum discus this down in the artists only section.

@SkywardKick. Update your account settings on the other site. I got email right and left yesterday from them.
