I thought i'd hold off for a little while but its been about 4 months now and ive had zero sales. I have a very small portfolio compared to others - 17 vids, but on every other video site ive had sales.
Its bizarre, SS is the quickest and most efficient at approving my vids but i get no sales here. The other sites where i joined much later i am getting regular sales from with the same portfolio. I am also using the same keywords and i have thought alot about the words i use so i dont think that is the problem.
Could it be that SS has such a huge collection of videos that you really need a proportionaly large portfolio in order to get the sales? |

Not sure what to say ... you're clips are really first class stuff. With a small portfolio up to a point, downloads are a random event, so I wouldn't worry too much. I have 30 clips and get anywhere between 0 and 4 dls a month. :)
By the way what software/plugins are you using for those liquid simulations ? |

Thanks nder,
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. |

17 vids is VERY small. Get more, and you'll sell more. |

Yes, your stuff if good but there is over 100,000 clips online here.
Keep uploading, and hang in there.

Your work looks really good. I have a small portfolio also (< 100 vids) and probably average 5-6 sales per month here at SS. One suggestion I would make based on looking at your portfolio is to do more specific stuff than abstracts. I do a lot of space animations because, frankly, I've found out they sell pretty well here and at other places. |

You never know what sells. Just keep chugging along, and perhaps put some simpler stuff up, too. Maybe create some basic--but interesting--backgrounds in AE. Those types of clips sell well for me (elsewhere, not so much here). |

BME here, so I am pretty happy. I wish all the sites would hit good at the same time though. |

That's so true. One month one site is up, and others are down. It just varies, there's no rhyme or reason to it. |
