Similar DLs to FT with a smaller port but only 30% of the revenue - and folks say FT is cheap

Not gonna make payout this month but should be disabling early Feb

So far, I'm 5% down in cash this year compared with last, but since my commission was cut, that means the value of my sales is slightly up. I'll be interested to see if they try to push me back down a level, regardless (I'm only 4 credits inside level 4 according to their calculation).

You would have to compare the types of sales against each other, because subs counts much less credits than the other types. So even if you break even cash wise, you might be short on a lot of credits if most sales are subs this time round.

The system calculates your level. So guess if you are 1 credit short, you would be 1 level down.

My sales have been good. January was BME for me, even after having commissions cut (I'm level 4).

Substantially better sales at 123 than at DT, FT, and DP.

My sales are awesome on 123! My 123 Jan 2013 was a 40% better then Jan 2012. My sales are steady and gaining monthly on 123rf!

dbvirago · « **Reply #54 on:** February 01, 2013, 14:48 »

Above average, but about 20% less than a BME.

It says I'm three short, but by my calculations I'm actually exactly on 2,000 so I've protested again. I think they may have posted a couple of sales after the monthly calculation was done.

Heck, I hope they can just give you the 3 little credits if not already earned!

It's not surprising that 123 admins don't bother to participate in the forums anymore....they can't take the verbal fact bashing because their commission cuts are indefensible. In am at level 4 now even though their stupid calculator told me I was at level 5. Bad January there and I don't expect it to get any better there...ever.

CD123 · « **Reply #58 on:** February 02, 2013, 07:31 »

About same amount but obtained from more sales. Prediction and analysis therefore still unchanged. Going to get interesting over next 3 months.

Same here, hope I can check my sales again today....site is still down for maintenance:(

Many microstock sites are changing many things these days. I noticed changes in DT and now 123rf. Some more changes are awaited. The world is changing very fast. Microstock market is behaving like Google Panda update after-effects on content farming. The interesting part is, some of the operators are same in this game as well.

Dan · « **Reply #61 on:** February 07, 2013, 11:16 »

Well i had my 1st sale of 2013 today (sub .18) but 3rd time it sold this year. I'm not really a big player at this and i upload very sparingly. But it is my best seller through all agencys. I guess i'll take one day at a time and give it till the end of the year to improve.

crashoran · « **Reply #62 on:** February 07, 2013, 23:24 »

Just deleted my entire portfolio.

Tabimura · « **Reply #63 on:** February 08, 2013, 01:26 »

Sales are good. Level 5 here.

luissantos84 · « **Reply #64 on:** February 27, 2013, 20:58 »

123RF is working things UP as they promised

February 2012 - 113.98$ (127 downloads)
February 2013 - 58.41$ (85 downloads)

jatrax · « **Reply #65 on:** February 27, 2013, 21:08 »

Keep working at it, soon you will be at my level. (I can't go any lower)

CD123 · « **Reply #66 on:** February 28, 2013, 00:52 »

Can also not see much of a difference in sales volume. The problem with their price war strategy is that there is no turning back. If it does not work, we are screwed (not necessarily them, as the reduction come mostly from our pockets I think).

Edit: Corrected type-o

Poncke · « **Reply #67 on:** February 28, 2013, 13:28 »

I do see a small increase in sales, but its peanuts.

Monty-m-gue · « **Reply #68 on:** February 28, 2013, 17:57 »

It would be interesting to hear from someone at 123rf. Perhaps they would like to tell us how they think things are going from their perspective - now that we are 2 months into the new regime.

no need to ask, they are doing fine, more money than before from us so I believe we shouldn't worry about them

They would probably say sales have never been better, growing every month, with tons more growth to come in the foreseeable future, things have never been brighter....
oh , some con tributors who are not enjoying growing sales with us, would be encouraged to keep uploading quality images and keep building up your portfolio, so as to ensure that you benefit from our hard work we put into getting sales and customers...

yada yada yada

same $.it - different pile

Well my 123rf sales in Feb were 2 1/4 plus 1 cent over Jan Things may be picking up.

MisterElements · « **Reply #72 on:** March 08, 2013, 18:13 »

Whatever 123rf is doing I love it. Very Fast review times and awesome growth. If the next 3 weeks this month are as good on 123rf as the first I'll have a BME on 123rf. I've been on 123rf for 6 years and the last 24 mos have been just getting better and better! Thank you 123rf!

How many sales did you have on 123 so far?

BaldricksTrousers · « **Reply #74 on:** March 09, 2013, 05:23 »

Well, I slithered further down this month.

Of course, they don't need to make any effort to boost sales now because if they do no differently than last year they'll achieve an amazing 30, 40 or 50% growth in profits. They'd actually be stupid to do anything to boost sales this year because it would create a precedent for enormouse profit growth and as everyone in business knows, you don't want to raise the bosses expectations of what you can achieve.

I'm not uploading any longer. If they can't be bothered to make the effort to sell my work, why should I be bothered to supply it to them?
