Poncke:
Did you make any sales through Flickr?

I had a pro account but because of their abysmal fascist customer support I dropped the pro account.

I have received one request through flickr to use one of my photos, but when I asked a tenner, they never replied. Cheap bastids.

So, Did you make any sales through Flickr? Or is there any other value to a Flickr account?

Snufkin:
I sold one picture. I requested 20 EUR and the buyer was happy to pay that by bank transfer.
My photostream is only about 150 pictures.
But there are more freebie hunters than buyers on Flickr.

EmberMike:

I'm not sure. I put links to stock sites or to my own site where applicable (not all of my work is on my own site) so people know where they can license an image. I'm sure I've probably gotten a few sales that way.

But I very rarely get contacted via Flickr inquiring about anything. Most requests for specific images or requests for custom images come through stock sites or my own website.
