hi there
i sell my ae projects on revostock excuse me but revostock is great if you ask me why please look around you will see similar websites like revostock it sells your products 4 $ its even best project..but revostock gives good money..thats why i don t want to create a new project anymore..i was earning good money but i don t get anymore..as i said other providers is selling our projects cheaper…but revostock gives what you deserve ..its not deal..
thank s..
I just sold my first track on Revostock and I need to get a little bit of clarification here.
The track sold for $45 on a non-exclusive basis so that gives me 45% of the sale,
which adds up to $20.25, but there is only $13.50 in my sales report.
I’m fairly new to the game so maybe I overlooked some details.
Would appreciate anyone who can ease my mind on this one.
Michael,
I’ll check into this for you. Can you e-mail me your Revostock username? Thanks!

No need Jon. My bad. I checked it out again yesterday and found that my track
sold for a wider license at $30, which makes my $13.50 spot on. Apologies
for the rookie mistake. Revostock’s still all right by me.
Michael,
No worries! Feel free to contact me if you ever have questions like this, it can get complicated, I’m glad you’re being proactive and making sure everything matches. This is your money we’re talking about, and you earned it. Congrats!

I joined at the end of last year as I have a large amount of Sound Effects. After uploading most of them and my music I have already sold quite a few tracks which is great but hardly any Sound Effects at all.
Of late sales for both have stopped.
same for me – sales have dried up – i have approx thirty tracks up there – in 5 months in 2009 i had 17 sales – not bad so i thought – then from jan 2010 to now 4 sales

I was selling music every other day it was fantastic. Now it’s completely dead. Nothing. I have a feeling that because my music was new it was coming up more in the searches. Now the honeymoon is over and they are buried in the pile 🙁
I just uploaded a few tracks via FTP (for initial approval) and once they were transferred I expected a message of some sort saying we’ll contact you or something – but nothing ?
I waited then closed the window – so do I just wait for a response or did something go wrong ?
Thanks..john (not that john,or the other john but a different john entirely 🙂 )
You have to check uploaded files in Upload Audio (producer tools) menu and then make all form fillings.
thanks man..
one more question – I labeled the 3 songs and hit upload into system – again I thought l’d see something like we’ll contact you (or something) – the songs disappeared so I guess everything went well – wait for an email then ?
(the site to me is a bit confusing ? )
thanks..john
Hmm.. I see nothing confused – check My Uploads – there must me uploaded songs with PENDING status (~1-2weeks for approval).
Thanks for your help but there’s no “my uploads” button etc. – I’m thinking I setup the wrong profile (buyer instead of seller ?) – profile is asking me to choose favorite producer and says I haven’t downloaded anything –
my songs are still in the FTP system – does that mean they weren’t uploaded ?
I titled them and followed directions to submit
I dunno…I’ve dealt with my share of libraries but never saw a website laid out this way – to cluttered with stuff in my opinion
I figured it out..I was retitling the songs (from file name to song title) when I transferred them from the FTP folder into the upload window – that of course changed the file and when I hit submit,it did nothing – once I figured it out I got the message I was looking for saying they’ll contact me in 1-5 days or something..thanks..john
John,
As you know you’ve been approved, and we got your first batch of uploads done as well. Good stuff! We’re usually able to get uploads approved in 3-4 days.
To everyone else, my e-mail is below, I’ll be posting on here now but you can e-mail me any questions as well.

I actually already had a sale @ Revostock – thank you Jon 🙂
once I got used to the site it was pretty easy – it’s just a bit different than what i’m used to – thanks again – John
Have sales (traffic) drastically fell off for anyone else here as well?
Yup – generally happens me around Christmas time on all websites
I thought that might be the case, Thanks!
Where have my posts gone ????? I gave a valid comment on how I have a few hundred SFX sounds with no sales and no response on the forums. Is this site being censored now ?
Scroll down, your comment is still there. Hint: In FF or IE CTRL F (find), type “Anon” and you can search the page.
How long do they take to review audio ? It has been over a week now and nothing.
Hey Anon,
They don’t talk “weeks” in this business, they talk months & years. 😀
Looking at views there isn’t much traffic on the site..
I have a few hundred qulity SFX up there and not one sale. Nobody replies on the forums. The place seems a ghost town. Hugely disappointing.
You are experiencing the same thing that I have on this site and many others. I have come to find out that many libraries are just digital wastelands, where tracks sit and take up hard drive space with a 1 in 10,000 chance of most music ever being licensed through that site. I hope that I do not come off as a curmudgeon, but I do not think many library owners have what it takes to successfully run a business.
I’m fairly happy with RevoStock. I have been averaging 2 to 3 sales a month (5 in November) on about 150 tracks so I started ramping up the uploads and will see what that turns into. I always set maximum price except for loops and stingers. I stopped uploading loops and stingers as I’ve never sold any. YMMV.
I agree with Art. I’ve had my files there for about 7 months. At least a sale or two per month is fine by me. It’s not going to pay my bills that’s for sure but a little extra money is great. I have a few SFX and the rest are songs and stingers.
See, that is the weird thing about music libraries. There is really no rhyme or reason to it all. You are successful with this site but you are having trouble making sales at AudioSparx. I guess that is really why I do not get upset with sites.
For whatever reason, some sites work better for me than others. I guess that this is why it is good to place music in as many sites as possible.
The ONLY site that sells my music is Pump Audio. I really don’t know why it is so low in the ratings. Revostock hasn’t made me one SFX sale with hundreds uploaded. Pond5 get’s me a few sales every day !
Well so far with 339 SFX and music files after a few weeks I have had zero sales. When I joined Pond5 I got sales almost instantly. My files are of high quality with low pricing.
Hi,
I have had contact from the admin who are very friendly and helpful. Don’t give up 😉
I didn’t realize that they sold them individually, I thought SFX were sold in big bunches at once. Where would be a good place to sell them through (not Revostock I assume)?
What exactly is an SFX track?! And how on earth do you have 1,100 of them!!
I imagine an sfx track can be anything from a chicken clucking to the honking of a car horn. Probably can make a hundred of these in one day.
You could but there is a lot of editing and key wording too. I have built these up over about 16 months.
I have looked at the SFX files on the site and even with the “most Downloads” order selected there isn’t a lot of activity of buyers. BTW- Revostock is taking a long time to review the sounds.
I have sold a decent amount of SFX on Revostock. I wouldn’t call it ‘success’ for me, just some extra money once in a while. I only have a few up that have sold multiple times.
I uploaded mine because I saw lots of other artists making sales.
Thanks Sean. Sounds encouraging. How many SFX have you got there ?
Only three and they sold 9 times between them since May 2010. You may do better!
I have about 1100 so I hope I do well 😉
