Hi everybody,
I joined DP in october mainly because I read a lot of good reviews about that, so I uploaded 500 photos, and they even granted that "Photographer Promotion Program!" to the contributor a fee for every upload (just for the first 500 though).
I have now sold 40 images in 5 month.... is 8 per month, and is almost "nothing per month" compared to the competitors with the same images I am with....
What's your experience?!

Experiences differ from contributor to contributor (very much port type dependent). Last year DP was my 5th best seller, this year so far, in position 10. Yet, if you look on the right here, you will note that it is top of the middle tier, indicating that a lot of members here are doing quite well on it. So in short, with the replies on this question, you would probably get 70% adequate performance feedback (for a middle tier company) and 30% negatives.

For me this DP works good in count of sales when compared to my portfolio size.
I have total of 456 online files at DP.
And I sold 329 files so far there.

But I don’t have typical stock portfolio there. No people, no isolated backgrounds, no still life.
I am enthusiast photographer and I take mostly pictures of landscapes, animals, nature, or cultural heritage pictures, such as castles, open-air museums, architecture in historical towns, or villages.
