Title: A little statistic
Post by: BaldricksTrousers on November 22, 2011, 04:55
I've been on DP for a month now (thanks to Fotolia drawing attention to it) and my earnings there are about 5% of my earnings over the same period from iStock (excluding PP) and about 3% of SS. In cash terms, it's not much, but its really impressive for a site that only started up in the last couple of years and which I think has quite limited name-recognition so far. The sales frequency I'm getting seems to be much the same as I was getting on SS back in 2005 when it was a similar age.

Deposit Photos isn't working for me.  They are provoiding less than .25% of SS and less than .5% of BS.  Could be my images just aren't right for that site.  I have been on there for over a year, and have uploaed a very small number of images for a test.

How small a number of images?  If you have a small port on Deposit, how can you expect to have anything but small results?  Granted, I don't get a lot of revenue there.  But I do get some, enough to keep me submitting.

For the record, over the past year Deposit has brought in 2.1% of my total.  That's 6% of what I get from Shutterstock.  Not that much, but a whole lot more than a quarter of a percent.

For November they were 2% of my total, which doesn't sound like much, but all the new sites except for DP and PD are at 0%, and those two are the only ones that are earning me a payout each month.  :)
