Title: Dropping sales on DP
Post by: enstoker on October 23, 2012, 22:15
A question for contributors with 500 to 800 photos in portfolio:
How many sales do You have?
Are they also mostly 0.30 $?

I have more images than what you are asking but I am getting more credit sales now than before.   It used to be virtually all sub sales but 8 out of the last 20 have been credit sales.  I'm really pleased with how well they are doing .  Yesterday I got a record 24 dls and  made more there than at Istock.  It's encouraging to see comissions of 4.60$ instead of the usual sub sales.

My port there is in the range you specified at 600 something.  Last month I did very well with lots of credit sales but this month has been very slow - so far less than 1/3 of last month.  Out of my last 20 sales, 16 were subs and the highest credit sale was $1.76.  This month so far total DLs at DP are 10% of what they are at SS but $$$ is less than 6% to put it into perspective.  Average revenue per month at DP so far this year is more than 3 times what is was last year so they are going in the right direction and this year they are #5 just ahead of FT (although FT is killing them right now and will overtake them this month).  For me they are definitely mostly a subs site but do get some credit sales and the occasional EL.

Thx for kind reply.
For me is FT few times better than DP.

I seem not to get any momentum at DP. 600 files, this month only 13 sales. 50/50 on subs/credits and the highest was 1.76

With 844 in port I am still waiting for the magic kick in sales. Only 21 this month, mostly subs. But it's easy to upload, so I continue and see what happens.

I have just 394 online files at DP with 228 total sales.

I used to have very good sales there considering that I am just enthusiast photographer photographing mostly landscapes, architecture or animals.
Not top-wanted stock photos.

Last month(s) sales dropped. There were days when I used to have several downloads a day in the past at DP.
But now my sales are unfortunately very rare.  I am not sure what happened and whether this is permanent change or just some market fluctuation.

Here are my sales statistics:
Sold Files: 228
By Credits: 52
By Subscription: 168
By SMS: 8
