Hey everyone, I have over 200 uploaded videos on Pond5 but don't have sales yet. I know that not every footage is piece of the art in my portfolio :) But I'd like to know if there is any specific issue with them, such as composition, technical issues or something else.
Can you take a look please and let me know what you think is the reason for the lack of sales?

Also, any advice/suggestion is highly appreciated!

I do not see anything wrong with your portfolio. Keep the prices up where they are, low prices will not help because you will need to sell many times more. With over 40 Million footage clips on P5 it will take time and a lot more clips to even have a minute percentage of what available. I suggest focusing on subjects that are unique to your part of the world. Good luck.

Yeah, that definitely makes sense.

As for pricing, that part is something that I'm still investigating to find the best approach. I usually let Pond5 to choose the price for me (as I assume that they will know the value of the specific footage better than I - based on their experience). But I noticed that some of my footages are quite cheap and even 4k and Full HD versions of the same video have the same price. So maybe it makes more sense if I set them myself.

Thank you for your reply @RekindlePhoto, and have a great day!
