Title: Dramatic Surge in DP Sales
Post by: Carl on November 12, 2012, 05:41
Until recently, sales on DP were occasional at best.  A few weeks ago, it went to multiple daily sales.  Anyone else experiencing the same?

I have (surprisingly) good sales at DP.
I am photographing mostly landscapes, nature, architecture (cultural heritage) and animals.
Recently there was some drop/lost of sales for me.
But it is again starting to recovery and going up! :)

My portfolio at DP:

I have total 401 online files.
And here are my sales statistics:
Sold Files: 238
By Credits: 52
By Subscription: 178
By SMS: 8

Nothing dramatic as you unfortunately, but sales at DP are slowly and gracefully increasing each month.

I have always had increasing sales at DP since I signed up.. It's only going up..

The way the trend continues, they will definitely become top tier eventually..

My guess is they will be 2nd best selling site in 2 years behind SS (that is if SS doesn't dramatically go down..)

For me they took a big jump in February and the monthly average so far this year is more than 3 times what is was last year.  However, most sales are subs and low-value credit sales with ELs very rare so RPDL is the lowest of all the major agencies.  Therefore, although they have been growing for DLs, for me this year they are #6 for total revenue and will drop to #7 after this month.  They seem to have stagnated but are holding steady since a big jump earlier this year - still bottom middle tier for me.

Congrats CanStockPhoto!  I've been impressed with sales at DP since joining last year.  No big jump for me, but steady reliable sales and a nice payout each month.  :)
