Maybe it's worth the effort after all

After following the threads on Featurepics I spent some time on there and cleaned out my portfolio of some of my earlier, poorer images.  I then did some sweeping price changes.  Images that have sold poorly or only at subscription sites I have left at $2.00, images that have sold fair at IS,Dt or StockXpert I set at $5.00 and my best sellers are now priced at $10.00.  I then started pushing FP with a link from my website.
Today I sold a $5.00 image and earned $3.50 from it.  If this becomes a trend I'll be uploading more there

Umm... if I understand what you are saying, it seems that you have gone to Featurepics, an agency that lets you set your own prices, then you've priced your images BELOW the usual prices at the other agencies.  Surely that defeats the entire object.

rosta:
I don't understand how my pricing between $2.00 and $10.00 is pricing below the usual prices.  at IS i have never gotten above $1.50 commmision on an image.  My usual is .60, at 20% that means my average IS image sold went for $3.00 of which I was paid 60 cents.  Now I have had an image sell for $5.00 of which I received $3.50. 
On the other sites my  $2.00 images have never sold beyond small sizes or have sold only at 123RF. on the other sites.
As things progress I may be raising the prices higher.

How often do you get $3.50 for an ordinary sale on any other site?  I have only had that happen on StockXpert.  I think we should undercut our prices on FP, as they pay us a good commission and if they grow, the other sites might not get away with given us a bad deal.

Peiling:
I think we should just support Featurepics regardless of how good or bad sales is....if we put it there, it will sell right???

They are the only decent people around who give us 70% of the sale...really....i will continue to support them even if sales is poor, if nothing but for their honest, integrity and treating the photographers welll...
