Thanks for all your input! My hearts with Pond5.

Man, this is such a amazing channel! I stumbled on it last night. I'm a stock music composer from Canada. Keep doing what you're doing! Love it.

Hey nice video , i think ill now look at uploading some of my rejected AJ tracks to Pond5. Thanks!

Hey brother. Hope all is well with you and your family. To be honest, every buyer is different.. I make a lot of different kind of music and sometimes buyers like something I think isn't as good as I imagine and sometimes they buy something that I thought was really good. So in my opinion, Just keep making music according to your feeling. Doesn't matter if you think it's good or not that good, someone will eventually like your work.

Thank you for these videos! Your timing couldn't be any better for me, as I've just started out a few weeks ago with the whole "lets make money licensing music on audiojungle/pond5/etc".

Thanks Daniel, helpful information!

Another good, helpful video. Thanks.

thanks to share your experience.

I couldn't believe it when i saw your page on audiojungle, the first page had quite a lot of music already but you have 17 pages of tracks!

Awesome post again bro. Thanks so much for your advice. I’m diving into this soon and it’s really refreshing to get an honest opinion on both these sites. I have subscribed to your channel and will be following and supporting you.

very honest and informative,thank you! hola from Greece

Exclusive music for AudioJungle is more sonic background than music. They does not accept complex harmonies, strong melodies and wide dynamic range. On Pond 5 that's ok!

Thanks for the video, Daniel. I sell my music on both - AJ and P5. These are decent libraries with a fair amount of traffic and I’m able to earn some money each month from them. I kinda agree that P5 is more versatile/flexible library, but it may have sth to do with the fact that they accept basically all submissions :-) I only wish they could offer more license types. AJ is more corporate music orientated (that’s why I call it CorporateJungle sometimes), but, surprise surprise, my 3 top selling tracks on there belong to worldbeat, cinematic and house categories (corporate track is 4rd, though). So, IMO the whole stock music world is a bit unpredictable and it’s hard to say which tracks will do it for you. The only advice I could give for anyone getting into royalty free audio world is to stick to the genres and styles you feel you are best at. Cheers.

I learned a lot, but it really learned everything in about 5 min.

Hi Daniel....enjoyed watching your videos...thanks for sharing. Could you recommend any libraries suitable for mainly acoustic love songs and instrumentals ? Thanks.

Thank you.

Pond5 sounds like a respectable place for creators. Thanks for that info about audio jungle. I prefer pond5 myself as a customer but its good to know I would probably feel pretty good using them. Glad to hear they ask for id clone accounts are definitely an issue. Great information!

I have a question about music libraries in general. Can you use your own music that you've already uploaded to music library like AudioJungle or Pond5 in your own project, or does only the music library hold the rights to your songs and they can't be used unless you pay for them?

Thanks a lot man for your video. Gaves me a lot of motivation actually. I was tryin with Audiojungle, i was rejected. Thing is when i hear some of the content there, i hear some " weak " stuffs released on there... So i felt a bit weird with time. Now i'm happy to meet Pond5 ,and i'm also kind of relaxed to read people sayin that AJ is a bit selectif on their choices, All the best , to you and to everyone around here, good luck!!! May the force be with us all!

What site do you think would be best for classic rock style tracks?

Thanks for sharing thoughts. Subscribed. 7:02 Ninja style! I barely can see her!

Hi! Just found your channel and I like the content so much. I'm wondering if you register your music with PRO before uploading?

Hello, Daniel! Do you have any ideas about sorting algorithms on Pond5? Do sells have straight relation to count of items in portfolio?

Hola man , thanx again for the time you put to share this with us , i uploaded my first track at AJ and got rejected ( nothing personal lol ) and then I uploaded two tracks at Pond5 and the approved them in 5 days i guess , and to be honest i think i kinda prefer Pond5 procedure so i ll focus on this part of this huge music business markets over there .

Muy buenos videos!... He subido un par de temas a Audiojungle. Tengo una duda respecto al nivel del master. Al bajar pistas de referencia de Audiojungle, veo que hay ocasiones donde llegan a -6 LUFS. ¿Qué valor recomiendas usar para estas plataformas, para no sonar ni tan despacio ni tan fuerte? Éxito en todo. Un abrazo,

Hey, many thanks for the information! What about Pond5 hashtag system? Do you need to create your own hashtags or they will do this? And what about this self-pricing? There are indicators or you set up your price and that's all? Thanks!

My friend once again a amazing video. You keep sharing so many gems so for that thank you. Is it better to set your price on pond5 or let them pick for you? And if you pick whats a good price for pick for your tracks

Daniel, thank you for sharing this with us. Your example actually contributed a lot to my decision to do music as my main occupation and I'm very happy now, so thank you! I wonder if you know the answer to this question. Can Videohive authors (which you are collaborating with) refer to your track on pond5 in a video description? Thank you!

Watching your vlogs is very revealing to me! I don't know if you've talked about LUFS requirements of stock libraries services, especially for corporate tracks. Are your tracks submitted to different libraries the same loudness or do you align them to the respective requirements of the library services? Are prelistening tracks different in terms of LUFS from the actual content that is delivered to the customer after the purchase? Which LUFS value do you recommend? I would appreciate it if you would give me some insight into this complex issue.

some epic music's in pond5 are about $500 to $700, that's amazing.

...great video, but please someone make a video tutorial how to upload music files on pond5.. it looks soo complicated....

Hi Daniel, would you stick to only one site as a beginner, leverage it and then check the other one? or or would you fire both AudioJungle and Pond5 from the beginning?? Cheers my friend. Cool vid!

I just got my first track approved on audio jungle, any suggestion to start selling and making my way up?

Can you upload same exact song on both sites?

Cheers for another great video mate. All my rejects from AJ were accepted rightaway on Pond5 however no sales for over a month now. Any tips? All the best!

Hola nuevamente amigo querido, que piensas de Premium Beat by Shutter Stock? estoy preparandome para empezar este en este negocio y Pond5, AudioJungle y ShutterStock son las que mas investigué. te mando un abrazo desde Tucuman, Argentina

what the other sites that's like audio jungle?

Hola Daniel !..Hope you doing fine, Thank you for all the valuable info and experiences that you spread through this videos. Regarding this one some questions come up to my mind though... 1. Is the difference between EXCLUSIVE and NON-EXCLUSIVE the fee percentage they get? meaning that in EXCLUSIVE you get more ?. 2. If in AudioJungle you only can upload 5 songs, you dont really need a big repertoir right?...and 3. How do you actually get paid? Paypal?, through a bank account?, transfer?... Gracias otra vez por compartir toda esta info y por tomarte el tiempo para reponder a mis preguntas Daniel, un fuerte abrazo y sigue inspirando a personas que como yo buscan ser mejores en este increible mundo de la musica. !! Abrazo !!

Did you sign with Pond5 Publishing, too?

I would like to listen to your music on audiojungle can you link your account?

So you have 1 exclusive and 1 non-exclusive accounts with AJ ? Sounds a good idea

Ive seen tracks on Pond5 for $10,000 a piece. Is that a joke or do composers really make sales with that price??

I know how it feels. It is a quite hard step to make! But if you do this step (break chains of exclusive slavery) you can put your work at more than AJ and Pond5, there are some other players in the field. Think about leaving AJ exclusive account as this: you only will earn 15% less on AJ, that's all. Can you deal with it? - I think so.

Can you suggest the other libraries?

On Pond5, you now only get 35% for each track 😞

what about taketones.com?

Кто-то еще с Украины есть ? :) Отлично! С радостью бы познакомился с ним.I was discouraged by jungle a little. I realize that from the "first time" success does not come, but still. I spend more time quality on the product itself. But the second time to try, it's still scary. What else would you advise the beginning producers?

Champion! I'm working in a house project, would you like to have a Skype soon?

Hola!! Me gustaría saber que estilo vende más en pond5? Veo además que tienes más de 200 corporate tracks en tu cuenta,... Pero es que pond5 es todo un misterio la verdad al menos para mi, puedes buscarme como Royaltyfreemusicforvideos en pond 5.gracias por tus consejooooos!!!

Audiojungle is a scam for small creators, their music licenses say the audio is to be used once per license. Pond5 is way better, once you buy the song you get to use the audio unlimited times.

Not being funny but there is a load of really terrible music on Pond5 and AudioJungle do have standards.
