Title: Nice to have a fair price for your work
Post by: lola on April 26, 2011, 23:56

I am just happy that I sold my first $5.00 image on Canstock, after being up with them since end of Feb (with only 24 files).  That would make 20 Shutterstock sales - so I am supporting them religiously from now on.

(I know it's not crazy sales, but it's only a few files - and was only a couple images at the beginning - I have 24 as of last week).  Would I prefer $25 or $100 for the work, yes, but in micro this will do just fine.

I do like CanStockPhoto but they make a fraction of my subs sales with SS.  SS is still my favourite microstock site, I would like to see subs commissions increase but CanStockPhoto and other sites are making that difficult, as they still have $0.25 subs compared to the $0.38 I get with SS.

Congratulations lola. Canstock is my fastest seller (mostly illustrations and vector silhouettes). The 25 cent ones can be a bit frustrating, but they keep on selling constantly. Use all of their promotional options (image categories, galleries, etc.) to optimize your sales.

Best of luck!
