I have managed to get through 90 days without a sale on Luckyoliver. That is with a portfolio of 147 images

Can anyone better that!?

I would consider you a winner if you have a large port and no sales or a similar port size and a longer dry patch.

So have I. No sales in 2k8 so far! I have about 500 pictures there. I am going to give them up as a bad job unless they manage to sell something by the end of April.

peep is the winner so far with 500 images online and no sales in 2008.

Can any one better that?

LuckyOliver are a young agency relative to the ones they're often compared to, so I'm never disappointed with my earnings there, no matter how low. There are many agencies where you could contribute your photos and experience zero sales.

I know other contributors reach payout at LuckyOliver every month, so when I see my low earnings it's my portfolio that I look to for answers.

Days since last sale: 1  (not that I sell a photo there every day)

And so my refusal to sign up with LO continues...

2 sales this month, a buck for referral 
total $ 2.80

March sales rock!!NOT. 2 sales so far with portfolio over 1300 images (or it is just my images which sucks).

Featurepics, mostphotos, snapvillage (with 40 images) and several other low earners out sells LO big time . 29 more images to go for side sales (or what was it called). I hope it helps a bit.

Well, you know i'm an LO fanboy (and forum moderator) so I'm biased

But, there's good news about LO all around. Here's a chart comparing traffic for LO against some of the other smaller sites like featurepics and albumo etc...

Granted, LO isn't busting straight up like I'd love to see it do, but it is still beating some of the other sites in traffic etc.

Hope that helps

Micth, don't beat me up... just posting my stats and comments obvious to them

LO since 9/31/06
Only   56 DL's for $72.20  (inc  1 EL and a buck for a referal)
38296 views
       although everything I've put on in the last month or two still only has 0, 1 or 2 views.   I wonder how that works. daily my views climb, but nothing on anything recently uploaded.

only 4 sales in 2008,  none in 42 days.

  I like the site, I had high hopes for LO back in 8/06 (and I still do).   I'll still hang in there, but uploading for no views isn't smart. I've officially stopped uploading now after a year and a half.  I'll let what is there ride and hope for the best. If it starts to pick up, I'll have hundreds more  to upload.   =tom


BTW to those that follow such things, Mitch and I have signed a peace accord. 

2008 = 9 dl's
Alltime = 51
Last DL = Mar 18
Port = 294 or 295?
Earnings = $59.80

Views= 10,121!

The last month I have had no problems logging in to LO.  No problem today and I have had 2 sales, so it isn't just me.

I have made a lot more with LO that FP or SV so far and it might be worth people who make more than me on other sites uploading there.  I don't understand all the negativity.  istock took years to get going and they had no microstock competition.  LO are doing reasonably well considering they have a lot of competitors.

The negativity may partly be due to the fact that, while most agencies are most agencies are either good or bad with some individual variations, LO varies a lot. For some, it's just a "normal" slow site, but for others, it doesn't seem to move at all. I've been there for nearly a year and a half now, and with a portfolio of 572 images, I've made an astonishing 11 or 12 dollars.

Even stranger than that: I have only 1955 views in total, while at SV, where I've just been a little over 6 months, that's the number of views I've had on my top 25 or 30 images combined. Considering the fact that SV isn't a fast mover either, this puts LO in a rather strange light: why on earth is my portfolio nearly invisible at LO?
