Question

Net income on videos

 How is the profit calculated for a sold video? I sold a video and I only got 2 USD. But my videos are selling for 63 USD in 1080p and 163 USD in 4K. Since these are my selling prices, I don't understand why my profit is only 2 USD.

At other agencies you get next to nothing for a video. Seldom you get a 'lot'. That's how things work today.

On Pond5 you can get much more also because you decide the selling price

And how much assets do you sell? I mean: not offer to sell, but really sell?

Read the Royalty chart, for which you'll find a link at the bottom of your contributor page.

    Yes I watched and thank you for the information. They should withhold 8% taxes, so in this case the numbers don't add up. But maybe because my video was bought by someone who has a subscription plan so he is entitled to pay a few USD

    Royalty rates are 33% for images, 35% for videos.

     

    The amount the customer pays varies by license -- Standard, Extended, Enhanced -- and the type of Plan they purchased -- 1 video, 3 videos, 6 videos or 25 videos per month.

     

     

    Hope that helps.

    I've never seen anywhere on Adobe Stock where prices for an asset are listed.

    How come you've never seen it? When you buy a photo/video, don't you see the selling price?

    If you have any doubts I'll post a photo where you can see the price

    How do you get to your selling prices?

     

    What is the licence type? Subscription or custom?

    I did not ask you, if you have a subscription, but the information that comes with the sale. Tey tell you either that it is a subscription sale or a custom sale.
