Best websites to sell sound clips


Recommended Posts

Hello, how are you, dear colleagues?

I have a couple of questions, maybe you can help me.

I need to know which are the most recommendable and profitable sites to sell audio clips (ambiences and sound effects).
I also want to tell you that I am at your service to make specific recordings that you need, I am in South America, Uruguay.
Greetings and thank you very much,

Hello!

That's a good question. I personally decided long ago that this is a hobby for me, and I don't charge money for it. Although I've sometimes been tempted to do something for money, I've always thought about how you would value this work and what kind of money you would charge for it. These things are not cheap, and microphones, recorders, software, etc., cost more than what people are usually willing to pay.

Among the free options, I can confidently recommend these likely well-known places:
https://freesound.org/
https://soundcloud.com/

I haven't used any paid options myself, but I googled out of curiosity few possible solutions:

1. Sonniss
https://sonniss.com/become-a-vendor
This is the absolute biggest site when it comes to sound effects.

You retain full-ownership of all your files (indefinitely), while earning 40% Commission for every sale you make. The neat thing about this site is that you get paid instantly after every sale.

2. Pond 5
https://www.pond5.com/sell-stock-footage
This site is a “Royalty-free footage, audio, images, and visual effects. All you need, all in one place” kind of site. Their Sound Effect market is very popular indeed.

The revenue is split 50/50 with you. You upload your work and they handle the rest, including hosting your files, processing orders and everything else.

3. Fantero
https://www.fantero.com/audio
Selling through Fantero brings you 50-70% per credit for every time one of your tracks is bought.

4. AudioJungle
https://author.envato.com/
With AudioJungle you have the possibility of becoming either an exclusive or non-exclusive contributor.
