I stopped uploading after their Royalty Free goes Limit Free

Two months without an upload and sales are just as rubbish

Just now, I sold three photos of the same subject at the same time on DT. Must have been bought by the same person. Thankyou buyer.

Appallingly bad. I absolutely have no idea why they rank third here. Totally inaccurate.

Sales every blue moon but everyday those annoying "images with no downloads" emails keep coming.

Third? seventh clusters of sales but 7th about right....

I was going to ask the same. DT used to be one of the top 4 didn't they? Now #7 and 8 more that don't have enough votes are also ahead of them. Barely ahead of Mostphotos which shows how far DT has actually sank.

DiscreetDuck · « **Reply #106 on:** December 22, 2017, 12:51 »

Maybe There are better photos that sell... competition is hard

lostintimeline · « **Reply #107 on:** December 22, 2017, 19:49 »

Wow! DT been on a downward slide for ages - but December is just off a cliff!

Asthebelltolls · « **Reply #109 on:** December 31, 2017, 11:08 »

And isn't there always someone that's the exception in these topics?

Unusually strong December for DT and I have next to nothing with a
Christmas theme in my portfolio. I even had a few days this month when
DT was beating out SS. The big holiday stinker for me was 123RF. Off the
cliff and into the deep, black hole. 7 sales with a portfolio in the +2500
category.

Oddly I had some sales between xmas/newyear and not in the least seasonal....I find DT has the habit of selling just when you think it is finally dead and some very unexpected images too.......

I have had some nice sales there. My sales are increasing.

No answer from Herg. DT holds 7th if you ignore Clipartof, canva, self, Getty, eye, dissolve, story, and mostphoto. In which case DT would be 16 on the list. I'm not impressed with that 7.2 at all.

If I did all that much with music sales like he says, I would leave micro photo and concentrate where I make the best money.

Dead and buried.

2017 was about 35% of the earnings as in 2016.

I had falls with all agencies, but DT was the worst decrease by far.

It's a pity because they use to be my third highest earner now they're only about 15% of what I earn on shutterstock.

might be time to buy a van and a surfboard, and get some Instagram followers.

Pauws99 · « **Reply #118 on:** January 15, 2018, 07:44 »

All my money is going on Kodakcoins....I heard they are designed to be just the right size to fit film canisters

jonbull · « **Reply #119 on:** January 15, 2018, 07:48 »

apart some big company, even a lot of good seller have stopped to upload there, if you compare their portfolio in folia and shutterstoc.,

i will not upload anymore. just collect some random 100 dollar every 2 3 months.

Pauws99 · « **Reply #120 on:** January 15, 2018, 07:54 »

I'm not so sure agencies seem to hang around for years selling almost nothing...but i'm certainly seeing sharp declines in sales of the "lesser" agencies

rinderart · « **Reply #121 on:** March 16, 2018, 23:57 »

very sad. a Good site at One time. why and how Is beyond me.

dpimborough · « **Reply #122 on:** March 17, 2018, 05:27 »

I'm lucky if I get payout once per year DT are largely irrelevant just like all the others

It's a nice site but it seems to be going down ImageBrief's direction unless management there can do something extraordinary
