Low quality & simple old illustrations (more than 2~3 yrs old) selling very well on DT. But new high quality images not even getting views sometimes. (my portfolio is with 2900 illustrations and 40000+ sales. 98% of the sales are from old images every month) How about your experience.?

Zalee, you are doing really well compared to me. I joined DT in January 2016. I have 219 images and only 2 sales. My images don't even show up in searches. When I searched for pine, pine cone and cinnamon start all sorts of images came up but not mine even though other images didn't have a cinnamon star. I am doing very well on SS. My food images don't sell. What kind of images do you take that you sold so well on DT? I search for my images, scroll through 20 pages or more and they are nowhere. They do show up when I search on other websites.

New files/uploads have never sold well at DT. I really don't know what they are playing at but how much brains does it take to understand that new files are our livelihood for tomorrow.

Its their livelihood they are interested not ours...not really selling much of any age at DT seems to be flatlining to me.

Sure but our livelihood secures their livelihood! .... sounds all funny doesnt it? haha!

Theoretically but unless buyers are crying out for new and innovative images then not really when they have around 50m images there

I'd change the title of the topic to New Images not selling well at all on DT 

I don't have a problem with new images on SS.

I'm sorry, I've only just seen this. Well 25 is not many but it really varies as I have a bit of everything in my port. I've sold some editorial, some people, even nature such as butterflies and flowers and also some travel. I'm not sure why you can't find your images, if I put my actual title in I can usually find them.

I have very low sales on DT compared to other sites and have recently stopped uploading have never really worked out what sell on this site only that exclusive images seam to do better,

dreamstime is not selling nothing.

Come on dude, keep it accurate... you're not selling nothing. Or 'anything', as the case may be. What evidence do you have to show that Dreamstime is not selling nothing? You sales figures don't reflect Dreamstime's as a whole.

you have 11 sales in dreamstime...are you serious?

i have more than 8000 sales...and i'm not shooting at all content stock oriented..mostly travel and editorial...
last two year in dreamstime are outrageous. worst agency by far...and it was a solid 3 place fro me...idf it has slipped in middle tier there is something going on...it was the 3 agency for most.

in addiction dreamtime was one low seller but any sales always was more than 2 dollar with mostly 5 8 dollar....now not only low volume but mostly 0,38

Dreamstime does better for me than Fotolia BUT only old files are sold.

strangely yesterday had 26 sales in one day..mostly 0,38, all from a brazil travel batch, and two bigger for 14 dollar...all after i complaint:)

i'm not saying dreamstime will go out of business. i'm just pointing out my and other experience.
it was solid third for many now has slipped in the middle tier near low earners.

Dreamstime is DEAD for me! History. Only few sales every month. I have big new port!
