This morning began with a bagel and a cup of tea in bed followed by 4x radio voiceovers and an email from Pond5 saying all the tracks I uploaded haven’t been accepted because they only take WAV files and not MP3’s! I’ve waited a week for them to review my uploads so its bad news for me, but i’ve just uploaded two full tracks again and before I upload the other versions and lengths i’ll see if these get accepted. It’s taken years to make the effort to write stock music, but I have a feeling if I put a lot of effort in i’ll make some great extra cash from it! I need a track up and a first sale and then i’m pretty sure i’ll be hooked to the platform I have yet to find so much about.
With stock music, you sell the licence rather than the track. People can listen before they buy and then they can use it for their work. Unlike what I sell on Fiverr where everything I write is original to each buyer, stock music can be sold over and over again. There are loads more sites to explore so once i’ve got the hang of Pond5 I may even branch out! I’m excited for this journey to begin.
