How to sell stock footage.

Guess what guys I've sold that bit of ice melting again! Unbelievable isn't it, why can't I sell more of other stuff? i wonder if I could get 100 more clips like this, I would make 10,000 dollars a year, but so far i have 101 clips up and only 4 clips have sold one each, and the ice has sold 5 times in a year.

Now with Pond 5 you get half of how much you charge. So for the ice it costs 40 dollars so i get 20, all makes sense, the only problem the money goes only goes into your paypal account if you get more than 25 dollars, so I have to wait until the ice sells again. So do I charge 50 for it, being that I'm English that would probably be about 20 pounds which every now and again would be nice not ground breaking but nice, or do I keep it at the price it is knowing that it sells? These are obviously big scale problems in my life..



I made a video for clipper lemon green tea a couple of months ago and sent it off to them I thought I would see if I could get something positive - money / free tea, well they have emailed me back with the latter, saying they will send me some free tea, I will tell you about the exciting news when the tea arrives....
