Title: 123 Rocks this month!
Post by: Dreamframer on November 12, 2010, 04:40
123RF rock this month! October was 4 times better than any other month for me. But November starts even better. If it continues this way it will be at least 2 times better than October, which means 8 times better than average month.
Does anyone else have the same experience?

Same here! October was (by far) my BME, and November is going well. It compensates the abruptly death of BigStock (VeryLittleStock?)

Nope same mediocre sales figures as ever, I don't think I'll ever be heard to describe 123RF as 'it rocks'

Sales over the last three month have been great. They are doing something right! Not too many sub sale either.

Average sales, but slightly better than the average of the first 6 months of the year.
But at the same time, by far better than any other site in the middle tier.

Not a good month with 123rf.  BigStock has done better the past few months for me.

I tried looking for the payout scale for different sizes with no luck since they updated the site. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I had an "MH"sale that paid only $2.50, does that sound right? They have a strange "pay" scale. I would have thought that a Mega High image would pay more considering it to be larger than a tif...just my opinion.

A big fat ZERO here. I don't have luck with 123RF. I've been on there since early 09 and have made a grand total of 40 sales. Sitting with $34.74. Same shots as the rest of the agencies but very few sales. I'll be pulling out as soon as I hit payout which will probably take another year!

Oh, 123RF rocks alright.  Kinda like my granny on the front porch, LOL. 

My sales have been stagnant for 3 years there.  Except for the really bad months that break up the monotony.  ;)

Well today 123RF got me over 25$ up to this hour. Some days ago I got a $40-something EL too, daily sales, RPD is very good... I'm very pleased with them so far, since about 3-4 months they keep climbing.

I feel encouraged.  Big Stock is also showing signs of life.  I may get a payout for Christmas.   :P

Congratulations Warren, I also just sold my first editorial image. I was starting to wonder when the editorial stuff would take off -maybe they have been doing some marketing on that. Hoping for many more to come! Regards, David.

It rocks, I would not say. However 123RF has always been the best of the middle tier in terms of sales for me. Sales are constant.

Sales are not too bad but the rejection reasons leave a lot to be desired. My last 2 batches were all rejected for "Poor Lighting/Composition " when accepted at IS and SS (and others) with no issues. Why not use "LCV" if you need to clear the queue, that would be more understandable if they don't meet the agency criterion.
