How many images did you have online when you started to make $100 per month at 123RF (excluding EL sales)?

Do people actually make that much at 123RF?

This month I have zero dl.s!
I have about 200 images online...
Does that mean I need endless number of photos in my portfolio to reach 100 $/month!?

no. I make 100$ every 2 months.

I have almost 3000 images there now and make well over $100 a month.   If IS keeps going like is has over the last 4 months...they might be down around the same in another 4 months 

About 500 images online. Estimated earnings this month will be about $60. It's increasing slowly every month.

Hi Freedom

After around a year with 123rf and about 850 images I have passed the $100.
IMO They are going stronger. I fave my images, but have no clue if that helps.

good luck

Noam

so, enlighten this newbie. it's important to have quality images, but the bottom line of selling regularly is still volume, isn't it?

i did post this question to several sites , "what's wrong with my images? i sell , but sell very little , and if any mostly subs. are my keywording, or quality of my images lousy?"
the answers all came back, "your images are good, or else they would have been rejected. but with so little images in your port, and with 6 million images for buyers to choose, it's easy for your images to get buried. keep uploading".

so it's the reality, isn't it? i better be a "shooting machine", as one of my networks put it.

It isn't just quality; it has to be the right images.  You also have to upload on a regular basis.  Assuning you have a 90% acceptance rate, or better, on any given site, you have a chance.  Without MR's you can forget about it.  I don't know of anyone making $100 a month without models, volume and a very high acceptance level.

I personally stopped uploading to 123RF due to an acceptance rate of 3%.   Sales on my small portfolio is around $1 to $4.50.  The low sales is attributed to the fact that I cannot upload anything that would be accepted on a regular basis.

After my next paayout, I'll close out.  I should get there in about four to six months.
From now on I'll just try to keep uploading to Alamy and phase out of MS altogether.

Good luck!

I got 10% of this number with more than 3000 images. I guess I do not have what they are looking for cause with half less on SS I regularly get over $100

yes, I get more than 100$ with 1600+ photos

average $130-160 month, has been all year no real improvement though

Right around $100.00 a month since may, 300-550 images with no upward trend.

It should be around 100$ this month, seeing increase in sales every month
