That's the beauty of small portfolios ... After 3 days I'm close to my BME for footage :D
@Rekindle
With your port size, a week without sales ... that is a surprise |

I use RealFlow for the liquid stuff. I also like your portfolio especially the oceans simulations, very nice.
I guess i need to be more patient then and just keep on uploading. But to be honest i was expecting at least one sale by now. |
I just looked up RealFlow and that looks like a really cool program. (and not to mention a really expensive one) I would love to try it out, might just have to try the demo and see how much of a learning curve is involved, thanks for introducing me to it (although I probably can not afford it for a while). |

Yeah. If you're doing this kind of work day to day than it's pretty obvious you will buy a licence, but just buying RealFlow to play around with the settings and sell some stock footage? I don't think so :).
Blender has a decent liquid simulation engine and it's 100% free. |

Hmmmm, I will have to try that too, see if I can get something good out of it :) Wonder if I can get something fairly good and then go into After Effects and make it what I want. You guys probably know better than I do. |

And at me every month the quantity of works grows, and sales fall. On other drains progress is visible. And on it falling. It is very a pity. It is necessary to reflect... |

I'm with you I'm discouraged about SS, the last 10 days ZERO sales, every other places sells for me, just not here. |

At me 12 days empty. Accident it to name difficult, as other banks sell as before.
Someone from a management can comment on the reasons? |

I'm in a slump here, too.
After a strong start to the month, it fell off the cliff.
Luckily, as with other months with my sales, other agencies are taking up the slack. |

Looks like back to a little below average so far, hoping for a strong finish. |

So far this month is great for me, but I noticed something interesting, that is double sales. In the first day of June I had two sales of the same clip and yesterday, again two sales in one "shot" of a different clip. And it's not like I get 100 sales a month ... 4 out of 9 sales this month were "twins" :)
Statistically that is pretty significant if you get out of 250+ clips two downloads of the same clip in the same day (or even smaller time frame). Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket :D |

nder, I had the same thing. I hope it wasn't a glitch in the SS billing system ;-).
Mine was of two baby goats, which is odd... |

Yep ... let's hope it's not an error. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut. :) |
