MicrostockGroup

and i was just about to say how they seem to be picking up

I managed to make a sale every day for the last 5 days... granted I still have only had 1 payout in the last 2.5 or so years there.  Consdering I make easily 1 payout on every other major site... their track record isn't too strong.

Obviously not too big of a loss for you.  I think i'll hang on a little longer.

Only place I do worse is FeaturePics. For some reason, I'll make 3-4 sales in a row, then nothing for weeks.

I had a look at my statistics there. Looks like a great ski-slope, starting in March. Unfortunately, that's not my purpose with my presence there   

Ah you mean Bennym, the hurrayh firefighter on CanStockPhoto with 1,000,000+ forum posts ;-)
It's a robot decoy of Duncan of course :-p
I'm 7$ away from my 1st payout, after 2 years and 2 months. Sometimes 3 weeks nothing sold, then the same shot 3 times in a row...

It will be hard to say goodbye, since it was the very first stock site that accepted me. I will still keep 1 photo online to use the keyword suggester to enhance my tags. I'm bad ;-)

Bennym is one, but there are others.  I remember an argument with Photoshow, he is so arrogant and likes to put down people like me with a smaller portfolio.

They were my fourth site, I think.  It's a site I don't see improving.  Image quality isn't that awesome either.  Pity.

Do we can say the same for 123RF, because I just started there to check if there was some money to make there? At this time it's seem to be the no man's land...

It's true that 123rf has better sales than CanStock, but they are (a) very weak compared to other sites and (b) in spite of 2 "relaunches" they seem to be bumping along in the basement rather than making any sort of forward progress.

I started with 123rf in June 2005 (i.e. this isn't a case of just give them a few more months to get going). I don't upload there regularly (last did a catch-up batch in late spring/early summer) any more.

It generates a reasonable if small flow of income, but if someone new were considering uploading there I'd probably say it wasn't worth their effort. Given the overall return is boosted a bit by the credit sales (from the 36 cents subscriptions), it's not so bad.

I have had 4 months of improved sales with 123rf.  Not far off the minimum payout each month now.  It isn't great compared to the big sites but a nice bit of extra money for the same photos.

I think I am really lucky to c this post before I sold any of my image in Canstock, I upload most of my photos about 10 days ago, but none of them has been approved until today, and now I saw this post, so I decide to say bye to Canstock too, good luck to any of you in Canstock.

I also deleted my account at Canstock last week. Not much was happening there.
