I don't know how the rest of you are all going on CanStockPhoto but, for me, sales have really started to pick up!

I've had two decent-sized sales during April....one for $26.06 and another for $19.80. On top of that I had quite a few subscription and guest sales. Let's hope this is a sign of things to come!

good for you but I would suggest that its just a random piece of good luck.

redo · « **Reply #2 on:** April 29, 2010, 05:44 »

for me it works also better at CanStockPhoto since february...

Sales for me picked up when they were bought by Fotosearch. Those $20 + sales are making it a lot easier to reach payout.

That said, I haven't seen any particular uptick in sales the past couple of months. In fact, they have dropped a bit for me.

I suggest that it's not random or luck but a trend. CanStockPhoto has been on a slow and steady rise for me for the past few months as well. Averaging about $6/day on a port of about 800 images.

fotosearch sales at about $20 are nice and really happen at times, but I join the "random" theory

They have been slow for me this year, but they are an easy site to deal with.they have a easy upload process and the occasional big sales helps.

CanStockPhoto has always been a low earner for me and this hasn't changed. I don't get a US$19.80 since july.

Recently, more views and less sale... $:-\$

PowerDroid · « **Reply #9 on:** May 01, 2010, 07:47 »

more views + more sales. Keep it up, CanStockPhoto!

I was about ready to give up on CanStockPhoto until the Fotosearch deal. Those $20 sales are nice.

PowerDroid · « **Reply #11 on:** May 06, 2010, 09:26 »

I'm more and more impressed with CanStockPhoto every day. Seeing almost daily Fotosearch Regular sales now. CanStockPhoto is now blowing BigStock and 123 out of the water. It's still a good distance behind the Big 4, but well ahead of the rest of the Middle Tier, which I now see as a bunch of underperformers. For me, the ones that matter are the Big 4 + 1 (CanStockPhoto)... plus maybe Graphic Leftovers which is showing great promise... delivering a sale a day ($2.60 commission) on average.

I am glad to hear your positive reactions, but in last 1000 views I hadn't any sale...

Before that sales were very good, sometimes with several FS sales in a single day...

But I am not loosing my religion in CanStockPhoto...

Dreamframer · « **Reply #13 on:** May 26, 2010, 11:06 »

Finally, one Fotosearch sale for me after some time...

microstockphoto.co.uk · « **Reply #14 on:** May 26, 2010, 11:14 »

it's difficult to make statistics based on a relatively low number of sales - however some fotosearch sales now and then make CanStockPhoto worthwhile for me

sweetgirll · « **Reply #15 on:** May 26, 2010, 12:37 »

So you guys are saying that Canstock is
worthwile because of sales on Fotosearch?

luissantos84 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 26, 2010, 14:07 »

too bad I never had a 20$ or that sale... got 49 sales for just 19$

madelaide · « **Reply #17 on:** May 26, 2010, 15:07 »

I had a FS sale this month, but subs. It's been almost a year without a real sale there.

Phil · « **Reply #18 on:** May 26, 2010, 15:54 »

they normally compete with 123 and BigStock for 5-7 rank for me, this month is a bme and managed to earn more than the other 2 combined.

Yes! At about $20 each even few of those sales are good (given also the easy submission process)

I disagree because the subs sales (CanStockPhoto's or FS's) are much more common than the nice higher-priced sales from FS. Given the very low performance I have in CanStockPhoto, I wouldn't recommend it. Of course, this varies from people to people, and their upload system, if I remember it right, isn't bad. So, if you are ok with subs, you may be happy with CanStockPhoto.

WOW, another download at CanStockPhoto, a whopping 0.30$. This will certainly my BME there, with almost 3$.

Nah honestly, they can be good with an EL at almost 20$. My last one was September 2009. Recommended? Hmm... Duncan is a nice guy. Site is programmed very well. I'm with Duncan's site for 5 years. I just keep uploading. I guess I'm Mother Theresa.

I used to get some Fotosearch sales, but for 2 months now, I havent got any... I get $2.50 sales once in a while, but nothing huge...

I agree! Sales are picking up but the largest sale for me was a guest sale for $2,--. i read about big Fotosearch sales but so far I only got Fotosearch subscriptions for $.30 each

This month is near 3X than last BME on CanStockPhoto. Yes I have one EL but more guest vector sales for 5$ and few 8$ from Fotoserch. They are better than 123rf this month but under BigStock which have freakout with sales much than 3X factor.
