The only problem i see is that you are literally giving your work away, 4k video is at least a third of what it should be

@TheMarcKnight , first, are you filming with a Black Magic? Just curious, the 50fps, and it looks great, if not do you mind sharing what camera it is?
About your portfolio, as stated, great videos, could be a part of a wild life doc, a YouTube explainer etc.. commercial etc..., however, man your competition is fierce son lol, so I would look around and see what others are selling, perhaps you can do something different edit wise, commercial can be edited like crazy, editorial can't. Don't be afraid to get out and get editorial, that is where the cash is. Forget all the lies you heard on YouTube about you make more with commercial, nope, not even close, in fact you stand a higher chance of selling an editorial clip on SS for $1,000 over commercial. That would be a great video topic :) I rarely sell commercial in fact I give that media away on pixels, just a 150 clips, a lot like yours, they will download them like crazy, over 1200 downloads and not one single donation, that ended fast for me man! But anyway, back to your portfolio, as an artist, it is spot on, if you are dead set and your passion is where it is then cool, do some cool edits, I have sold heavily edited commercial, try unique and risky camera angles, get a GoPro and set it right were those animals are walking or playing, close up shots are hard to get and are for the die hard most patient videographers.
but hey man, at least I gave you some options, just think about it. Mounts make trick shots easier also!

@Madvideos Thank you for your input. I also started on Pexels (just search for my name). My camera is actually a Lumix G70. I will upgrade to the Lumix S5 later that year since I struggle with lowlight. I will see if I can find some variation and other topics, but wildlife and nature is what is the most fun to me
Cheers,
Marc
