im on pond5 5 month ago, but it seems that nobody hear my songs or didn´t find them. 18 Tracks, but just 73 views in 5 month, 0 sales...thats sad :/
my latest tracks http://www.pond5.com/de/stock-music/56856529/motivation-song.html - http://www.pond5.com/de/stock-music/56337363/sentimental-piano.html - 0 views :/
any ideas? im on youtube, facebook and soundcloud too to make advertising but some tracks have more clicks there than here. Something´s going wrong...

Some thoughts - keep at it - work a lot, make MANY more tracks, with lots of variation (you do that already), make full songs, stingers, edits, intros/outros, etc (I need to do a lot of that work!) but basically you need many many more tracks to appear in searches - there is much competition here. Always work on sound quality, and look for unique angles to your sound. (I say this jokingly: Play a ukelele and whistle happy corporate success achievement - if it turns your stomach, you know it's a winner!)
Also, work on your keywords ... I looked at several of your tracks, and you don't have a lot of keywords... this is as important, possibly even more important, than the music itself. Without great keywords, the client cannot find your work. Think of as many useful ways a person might interpret or use your music. I don't know if it is a real issue, but I noticed that some of your German words do not translate through the Pond5 pages. They did fine copied/pasted into Google .. whether this affects you I do not know.
Been kind of curious how well keywords translate from and to various languages, actually ...

it might not seem so great but for me 75 listens in 5 months with 18 tracks seems ok. I have tunes that have 4 listens in a year. clients have 400 000 tunes to choose from. Some of the sellers here have other sites in which they get ppls music and sell it through this site as well as their own and those people have 40 000 plus tunes alone. It is difficult to get noticed and harder to make a sale. But I would be making music anyway and when i make some pocket money out of it - it is a treat and a buzz
