I have 13 editorial pics on 123rf. The performance is not encouraging. It is difficult to even know how many times these files have been viewed. The files went online during June 2013. Not sold. My take is, editorial images may be good if you have high-net-worth attached to them. If you are regular contributor looking for solid ground, stay away from editorial images for sometime. If you are on the spot where action is happening, you stand some chance to sell them. Otherwise, no-go area.
