Really great advice and insights Daniel..I have a few hundred tracks on pond5 now...just starting to get a few sales 🙂

Hi Daniel, hope you are well. I have just logged into Vfine after a year and a half and got a pop up message asking me to sign an updated contract which looks like a lifetime agreement. BTW if you use Google Translate (with Chrome browser) then you can navigate the website in English. Thanks for the video!

Great video! Is Pond5 still popular for selling music in 2024 compared to platforms like Artlist and Epidemic Sound? Also, which platform is currently the best for selling music tracks (without stems)? I'd love to hear your answers!

Hi there, thanks for this! I can get the download link to work, it says site can’t be reached.

Is this pricing policy still valid today, or is it now that prices have plummeted?

hi, I want to ask about how you promote your music/song to be found in youtube so everyone can use your song. Because as far as I know, if we put in audiojungle, it will be "watermark" heard in the audio. However, from your example, when someone using your audio, they put your song without any audio "watermark". Where they can get your clean audio? do you make specific channel to promote your song on youtube or identifyy have tools to do so? thanks for your answer

You will be stumped after listening to elevenlabs Music. Its not yet released but they posted some previews. Check it out.

Hi Daniel, I'm a bit confused about this. What if somebody buys your music from say, Pond5, and then uses it on their CZcams channel, won't Identifyy try to get royalties from them even though they bought your music royalty free?

Does much come in for you on the backend with Pond5 three years later?

Daniel, I agree with what you are saying about AI music. I see it as a tool that can help me help with certain aspects of the music but not be the music itself. Back in the 70´s when I played in a band there was just three of us on guitars and we used a drum machine. People said way back then that these would take over from drummers, that you wouldn´t need them anymore. Here we are over 40 years later and there are still drummers. When I write a song I do have to admit when I listen to my vocals they do not always match the sound I have in my head, whether I want a more gritty voice or even a female voice, but now using AI as a tool I can take my vocals and get them to sound whatever style of voice I want them to sound using AI. But I still have to create the vocals in the first place so I am only using AI as a tool, just like 40 odd years ago we used a drum machine. Un video bueno mi amigo, ojala tu haces muchas mas!

Anyone heard about the where abouts of Daniel? The video's ( about email marketing I need) on his other channel have all suddenly disappeared.

Hé Daniel, what happened to your other channel??? Can't find your good stuff about email marketing anymore.

Great video mate. So far I think most of the mixes of a.i music sound whack! There may some tough times ahead, but usnt there already?! Worth checking out the a.i talk done by the fellas who made the film 'Social Dilemma'

“Oh! I want to get away. I wanna fly away. Yeah-yeah-yeah” 😊 Thanks for the walkthrough!

question out of context: what if your bpm is not always perfect (in acoustic music) how do you manage change in tempo?

Do you know if is there any video showing the uploading procedure to 123RF?... I can't find anything like that. Only a webpage showing photos. As the process is through FTP, I'd like watching a video. Regards!

Any tips on places to apply for to get music sync deals.

Where are the samples? I don’t see them in the description or comments.

I have a question You said loops do you use like royalty free loops or you make your own loops because I was told never to use royalty-free loops from places like splice and other royalty free loops packages If so what's the best place to get loops that can be used in sync music?

Hi Daniel, can I be cheeky and ask what DAW you use. It looks much easier to do the edits than what I'm using at the moment. Thanks!

Hey Daniel, love your videos man !!! I did find that in Google Chrome, if you go on the VFine website, if you right click on the Chinese text it will give you the option to "Translate to English". Click on that, and a box will appear on the right hand side saying "translate full page". That worked for me. You have to do this on each page, but it works. Hopefully this will help others, like myself, who are trying to find more info.

Is it still authentic?

I want to thank you for all the work you do to make these videos. Can I ask if you have an order in which to watch these videos for the most education on the start to finish process for someone like me who’s interested in doing music licensing myself? Thanks again!!

Kalimera? Are you in Greece?

Thank you so much, your advice is Gold. 😎

For those of about to embark on stock music licensing, are we at a disadvantage with the rise of AI?

Please sir can you give a tutorial how yo Upload your music to pond5 because am having issue with upload with thr new music upload rule

"the thing is, even tho they all sound the same - you can still put your own personal touch to it" 😂

Greetings! Please tell me, did you write effects for stock? I don't understand a few things. Do the effects require mastering? For example, should the head room be left at -6 dB? What volume should Lufs have a ready file? Thank you in advance.

Hey, Naver's Whale browser does a great complete translation of the site, better than Google. No need for English Guidance too. You'll see a flag appear to the right of the address bar in Whale to translate. If you don't see it at first, open any link on the page in a new tab. Hope this helps.

if I have music for free download on e.g. Pixabay and these are used on youtube, do I get revenue from indentifyy?

Only upload Main, No Drums, Instrumentals, Ambient Mix etc. No loops because that is the same like the main track, also no 30 sec no 60 sec.

Why you work with identifyy?

🤟💪

Hey Daniel. This is an exciting time for me. In March I officially started uploading my music for licensing. My question is what is the minimum amount of tracks you should have uploaded to libraries before you even sign up with Identiffy? Thanks for the great content brother. Rock on. P.o.p.

Hi Daniel, I have a question. Does Motion Elements allow you to sell separate edits like Pond5 does? I'm thinking of setting up an account with them thanks.

Hey, thanks for the answer and for the video! 🙌

Brilliant video. Really interesting 👍👍

I’m really grateful for this Daniel. Thank you.

Hi Daniel, just found your channel today. I'm just starting out with composing again (after not doing it for around 35 years). In the past 2 hours on your channel i have learned much more than my 2 weeks of research. Thanks for your videos. Have also downloaded your guide. Thanks for taking the time to make your videos.

Thanks

I've put over 40 pieces of music on Pond5, it was only yesterday I realised they still needed "submitting", they were refused, until I added tags and artist info. I'll do more, I enjoy editing parts of my recorded tracks.

Why would we want to do anything that’s low quality?

I also copy only my name in, ready ! I work also with Epic Elite and they also only need the title and file.
