Average to good at DT for me. Sales have been up at Fotolia and FeaturePics. Overall, March is looking good

ditto, since jan.

i think its cos they introduced the subscription model...
but not quite sure $:-\$

January over December: 55% increase
February over January: 38% increase
March seems to increase at the same rate. No subscription sales yet, but generally better prices per photo and more photos sold

Yes, improving nicely and better prices/commissions.

My sales are up on DT, though not spectacularly. I'm (still) hovering at $0.20+/file/month, $3.50+/day - enough to make a monthly payout with only a bit to spare.

On the plus side, I received an encouraging comment from the Director of Content the other day. I can't be the only one ... anyone else?

Way up for me as well. Actually had a P-EL sold yesterday (http://www.dreamstime.com/enjoyingeachotherscompanyandlove-image1566865)- [nofollow] $25 - for someone who averages a measly $12-$15/month at DT - I'm very happy. Sales are up otherwise as well. Without that $25 sale, I'm above my average already for the month!! Whatever DT is doing - keep it up!

I'm up on my other sites as well.. this is my first March for selling, so must be a spring thing..

...yeah, for some reason, in the last week or so, DT sales have been up for me. Not setting the planet on fire, but a lot better than they used to be. For the longest time, sporadic sales, now... having daily sales. A nice change, hope it continues.

Hi guys,

This is my first post

Wanted to share that my sales at dreamstime have been virtually 0 with the new price structure. It's quite frustrating to see, that everyone's sales are up:)

Anyway, I'm confident that my sales will pick up in the end as well.

Cheers

I had an extended licence (but there are still a lot of old credits about) but I had my first $4 eps illustration sale and a $2, eight mp sale so hopefully things can only get better.

canakris bare in mind some of us have portfolios of over 1,000 images as your portfolio grows so will your sales

Yes, another large size sale today at $1.50 commission.

For the first time my average commission per sale at DT now exceeds the average from IS. DT is averaging 86c whereas IS is languishing at 68c. Based on total sales.

I still believe the trend for pricing and commissions in the microstock industry is on a firm upwards trend. In a year's time I would expect to see these average income per sale figures at nearer $1.50.

Yes on DT very happy about it !!! been picking up to on FT and 123RF but been dead on Bigstock for the past week !!

madelaide · « **Reply #13 on:** March 20, 2007, 16:38 »

Yes, sales are higher for me. My only complaint is that 25c subs sales are starting to be more common, so I will still wait for my opinion about the new price structure.

Regards,
Adelaide

Record sales for me at DT last week, but that goes for SS and IS as well. Those three are in a class of their own.

Sales flat at DT. Interestingly, I'm selling some old stuff. Today, sold a pic that I posted July 06 and had never previously sold.
One thing I did notice on DT, the ETR, estimated time for review, is going up!! Not down. Got a batch in for review since the 17th.
