No, it actually seems to get worse from month to month. But I am not uploading, because I did not really see an increase of earnings despite my efforts.

For me too!

I have 4 times bigger portfolio than before a year and still same earnings...

Very weird site for me. 1 month it will beat StockXpert, the next month it is half as much as Crestock. Always jumping all over the place. I've already earned more this month than I did all of last, but that didn't take much.  :-X

Consider yourself lucky! My portfolio is twice as big as it was last year, my earning has been less than half of that.

All I got there this month were 3 subs sales. It just gets worse and worse for me there.

I only started with 123 in late April, uploaded about 800 pictures in May, got only six downloads in May, but already 8 in June now - one of them a Tiff giving me 4,50.
That is a lot better than Bigstock at least.

uploaded around 50 new images last week with no difference in sales ,0 sales in June.

Very poor sales this month. I find 123RF and BigStock to be the most wildly inconsistent from month to month. SS is the most consistent.

One of the tree worst sites I contribute too, getting sales there for me is like pulling teeth, so for now I will not upload there anymore, and if I don't see a change in sales by the end of the year, I will pull the plug on them, It's definitely not worth my time.

Hi everybody,

I just noticed a few sales more than last time I had a few sales( two weeks ago) ;), If thatīs what u mean ? 

Is it common that easy upload sites have bad sales?  This one, Mp, Canstock...

This morning I have (unusual) several sales on 123RF  above 1 $...

Maybe customers from StockXpert move to 123RF!?

Only 5 sub sales this month for me.

Post by: WarrenPrice on June 16, 2009, 11:39
still waiting for the first sale but less than 100 images online.  Hope you're right about taking the place of StockXpert.

Well... It is lowest commission for vector EPS files there... It is $1.25... And lowest price for Vectors on big six list... Only 5 credits or $2.5...

I decided not to upload my EPS files there until they raise prices. I will send them only rasterized versions and simple vectors from today.

They are selling - but for me it is selling with loss!

My sales are going down, down, down over there too, despite adding roughly 100 images a month, every month. 

Congrats Whitechild - you are the lucky one!

At least they are consistent: consistently slow   :D

I keep uploading there. With all the turbulence in this business, unexpected things may happen, and they are ahead of StockXpert for me now, way ahead. That wasn't the case a year ago.

Slow for me. But keep uploading as acceptance ratio is high.

Hi everybody,

Can we have your definition of "picking up"?

For me 123rf was always dead (less than 30$/month). I gave up last month.

Post by: Dreamframer on June 18, 2009, 07:23
I had slow april and may, but in june things look better, at least for now. Maybe it's just one of "good months". I had good september and march, but the rest was much slower. After all your comments I start to think I'm just lucky at this moment....tho, I would like more if you all said you had good last month too.

I have noticed 123RF content showing up on reflexstock's results:

perhaps this will help improve sales??

lately I noticed an increase in my sales there but we are not  talking about a great improvement here.  however it has taken BS's place for me as BS (somehow)  became a really poor performer for me:((

Negative 61 cents?  13 is REALLY unlucky for you.   ;D

I'm looking for a payout.  Isn't it supposed to be due in the first half of the month?

Pretty sure they pay on the 15th.

I have seen a lot of "other" stock sites with my 123rf images on them.  Like GlowImages and StockLib and ....  I guess syndication is 123's current marketing plan.  I hope it works.

Not at all, it's much worse than March. But since my numbers in general are so low, they fall in the statistical noise zone. Statistically spoken, anybody with less than 1K$ monthly revenue from stock and a port under 3K photos or 1K illustrations should not comment on trends. No comment.

April is starting slowly but this year has been pretty good ... so far.

Eeeeeeeeeeee Hawww... Yep.  Payday is the 15th and I just got my first payout from 123RF. 
15th is a good day; I had already filed my taxes.   ;D

Post by: sam100 on April 15, 2010, 15:51
Started the day with minus 0.72... and no further sales this day... ??? Two refunds.
I'm beginning to get annoyed with these refunds.  We provide an article they agree to sell.. they sold it... again some images the client has for free...  then why should we be punished for declined credit cards....  ???

123RF is doing good for me. Payout every month, every once in a while some ELs (I had last month a CEL of about 40$). I can't complain, I have daily sales and their upload system is one of the best around (if not the best).
Title: Re: Sales at 123RF picking up
Post by: ljooc on April 15, 2010, 16:23
same for me, I have daily sales, and a few ELs every so often. March was good, April is not bad could be better. With 15 more odd days to go, the month could still end decent.
