Pond 5 takes 65% of each sale, never had they given a 50/50 split. Also as a long time user of pond 5 i cannot recommend it, its too much time for such little profit.

This is outdated and all info need to be rechecked

Example:
Sonnis > “We charge 40% commission (an industry low) – meaning you get to keep 60% of all revenue generated.”

So not 80% as this article states and that statement above is not an industry low when they were giving 80%

In reply to Gary Frano. Gary, they are all good. If you want to get a feel for the company, do what I usually do. Contact them, via support and ask a few questions. That usually gives me an indication of how good the company is. If they respond within a reasonable amount of time and are actually helpful, that's a good sign. If they never even respond or take too long, that may be a red flag. This is ONE way I try to learn about any company or website I want to deal with. As for taxes, yes, you are required by law to report any and all income over $600.

What is the best place to start? Is there a right way and wrong way? I am in school for audio production and are pretty comfortable making Foley sounds. I am just Leary about giving my SS number and ID to a stranger, is there a place that does not require this? Last question, does this income need to be put on my taxes? thanks
