Title: Level 2 images only need 10 downloads
Post by: fintastique on January 14, 2008, 10:17
Nothing about this in the DT forum section so I thought i would mention it.

At DT as an image has more downloads the price increases and they have recently reduced the number of downloads for Level 2 images from 25 to 10.

Usually a 600 x 800 image will earn you 50c but if it is downloaded 10 times a buyer will have to pay more and we get $1.

More details in this table part of my Microstock guide

25c subscription sales will start to get very annoying when it is a level 5 images that should earn between $2.50 and $4.00 depending on size

Like the new keywords feature it was mentioned before in the forum but not on the DT forum I believe. Anyway thanks for the reseach and good luck to ramp up pics to level 2, it is true that is worth it
Cheers

But we can't forget that it may be the subcription sales that raised the price of that photo.

I think the new subs are 30 cents.

So true.  I'm planning to drop DT soon as the number of my sub sales is almost catching up to my regular sales, and they don't have an opt-out.  My $$ are decreasing.

And level 2 non-subs sales are not a rarity, what is quite neat.  DT is doing wonderfully for me this month.  Now if they could only solve that MB issue....

Adelaide

Yeah, it's kind of old news.   8)  But it was a great gesture from DT, and a wonderful raise for all of us.

Old news. But like others here, my earnings have really gone up a lot at DT this month. Could possibly take 2nd away from StockXpert, which hasn't been doing so good.
