Awesome work Marburg.  Here is to many more.   

congrats marburg, was it one of those old photos you were asking us about, in the other thread?

hey johngriffin, nice to see you here too!  hope all's well at cutc!

Had my first sale today.  The buyer asked for a lower price but my commission was $2.40, so I agreed.  Will upload more now.

2.40 sounds fine. much better than 25 cents. good show!

Congrats sharpshot.  I have to look to see which image sold.  Here is to many more!

@tan510jomast  Thanks.  Just want to learn as much as I can from the community and also make sure I know how we are doing.  The good, the bad and the ugly.  hahaha.  Are you signed up over at CC?

you ppl are certainly on the roll. congrats!
hope i'll be next, or else i'll start whining and kicking like a spoilt brat 
seriously, good for all of you, and john too.

I like CutCaster. I sent them a small batch of images - just to test them - a few days ago and have had two sales so far! And the commission is excellent. I will most certainly go on uploading there. Well done, CutCaster!

Thanks peep.  I was just as excited as you were ;-)  Here is to many more sales as well. 

Can I ask you a question? Were they bids you received and accepted or negotiated  OR  were they people just buying your content ala carte, on demand?  Thanks

They were accepted bids.

Mine was an accepted bid and I have just had another bid.

I had 2 bids, negotiated them and 1 was accepted.

After Labor day should be even better.  We are still small which is good and bad but we are growing and going in the right direction.  Thanks guys for trusting me and congrats.  Here is to many more.

John

Yes it was.

great work marburg. 

I am intrigued by the fact that buyers can bargain with us sellers - how would you guys compare the sales at cutcaster?  Does cutcaster earn you as much as say, Crestock per month?  Or is it a long way from that?  I've had my eye on it for a while - I'd be willing to cut loose one of my dud sites in order to make time for giving cutcaster a chance.

Cutcaster is nowhere near crestock at the moment.  I doubt many of us are going to see sales there yet but if we upload, John will have more of a chance of persuading buyers to use the site.  If we all hold off waiting for sales, they wont come. 

The odds on any new site making it at the moment look long but sometimes I put money on a horse at 20/1 and it wins.  Lucky Oliver fell at the first fence but I haven't learnt my lesson yet and I am having another punt.  Come on cutcaster

I have spoken with John before and he was quick to reply and very helpful.  I have only had one sale there, but more pleased with it than crestock's 25 cent sales.  If crestock sold wicked awesome like Shutterstock it would be great, but a 25 cent sale every week is hardly anything to smile about.  Oh well, it's my fault for keep uploading.

Thanks for the feedback, I think I'd be willing to give cutcaster a try as soon as I'm caught up on a few other of my newer sites.  I still have a looooot of image pushing to do.  I wish I had a clone.
