Just wondered if anybody else is having a record month on fotolia. So far I have beaten my previous record by 45 downloads. Sales have been great this last week and I wondered if it is a general site thing or if this loss of keywords for some is still benefiting others. I hope that it is more a case of the site getting back to normal and that everyone is now making good sales.
-
I had a BWE last week and I notice that views have increased markedly.
-
Pretty average to lousy for me... ;D
-
for me certainly not record level but considering it's summer time my sales pretty good!FT has been my secondbest seller this month after SS.
-
Sales are not overwhelming, but due to two new very well selling images and the new prices it is a good month.
-
My sales at FT - and overall - are about the same as last month.
Congrats on the superhot images, Freezingpics!
-
It looks to be about average for me. Wait till tomorrow and i will do my monthly stats.
-
It's a best month for me at FT, mainly thanks to E/L, otherwise the number of D/L is about the same. But, I have noticed that the number of views has gone back up to where it was before V2. Maybe FT is getting re-organised for the better after a terrible change over.
-
Will probably be the second best month for number of downloads(April was the best). No E/L's so the total revenue isn't the highest.
-
BME for me too. ;D (Doubled my previous BME)
-
Same here, had a best month by far, double of my other BME and that's after a year of being with them. Fotolia is a strange beast, great sales but still nfi how the buyers are getting to my images as none of them are coming up on search.
-
Yes, certainly my BME, with one EL but many sales (I believe that more dlds than ever also).
Regards,
Adelaide
-
Not for me - number of sales went down, second worst month (only month worse was my very first month), but credits were ok (bout average), due to 2EL at the beginning of the month.
-
BME for me also :) but very quite at the end of the month..
I sold a lot of small sizes but no EL which is unusual..
See my blog for more details
-
Very reassuring to see so many people doing well at FT despite all the problems that they have been having ;D ;
-
Thanks for linking me Idambies! :)
-
I've had 40 downloads on one site this month which is good considering I only have small portfolio. On Fotolia I had 1 download and 3 views!
What I would like to know is why is it taking so long for the keywords to work again?
-
Thanks for linked my blog also freezingpics ;)
-
Not good for me- last couple of weeks I've just had 0's - FT has never been great for me, but at the moment its just awful.
IS and SS are having BMEs on the other hand.
-
Pretty average to lousy for me... ;D
moi aussi
-
Since 27 of july no downloads at all !!
-
Not a record month but reasonable sales. I haven't uploaded much since V2 was launched, as I am waiting for all the bugs to be fixed.
Not sure how they have kept the buyers when there are sites that don't have all the problems they have. Perhaps they have lost some customers to stockxpert, as I have had a nice increase in sales there.
Hope they sort out V2 soon, as they obviously have some very loyal customers.
-
Yes, my last two months were very good! FT is a solid 2nd after SS.
I like the fact that I don't see a big overlap with SS. Most of the Sales on FT happen while I sleep, coming from Europe and Asia, while SS has a mixed bag with an accent on US sales.
Happy to see that my port, with only 172 files, is today #494 on for 7 day rank!
-
Why post at the end of a 7 year old thread?
-
I have sold three times more on Fotolia than on Shutterstock today… :)
Or I should say that I have sold three time less on Shutterstock than on Fotolia :(
-
Yes FT is doing well. The higher subscription values made them my 2nd highest RPD after IS.
Overall the earnings are not comparable to SS and IS, but still miles ahead of DT and the rest.
-
now the question is- are more buyers flocking to FT due to the DPC program?
-
Nope FT is as usual appallingly bad I'm afraid and there are enough DPC/FT fanboys out there squealing their praise ::)
Makes you wonder if FT have been recruiting cheerleaders ;D
FT came fourth from the bottom of the heap pour moi :(
-
now the question is- are more buyers flocking to FT due to the DPC program?
Nah only the cheap ass bottom feeders go there to slurp up the bottom feeder cheap soup :P
Sales are still booming at Shutterstock

Why post at the end of a 7 year old thread?
I'm a little behind on my bookkeeping. My July 2007 Fotolia numbers were terrible. Did anybody else have the same? ;)
-
I know July 2014 isn't over yet, but I have yet to match my July 2007 sales at Fotolia.
-
ft regular low, few 0,23 earnings do not feed the cow fat..
-
To me, it's appropriate that it's a 7 year old thread, because my BME at Fotolia was over 5 years ago.
-
I had a record month with FT, first time EVER: $0 and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for the email, Chad.
-
Considering that I deleted half of my portfolio at FT, I'm not expecting a record month any time soon. ;)
-
Fotolia has made a change in their search. So many german contributors has a big decrease income. Good for international contributors, bad for us germans. There are no more visitors at fotolia there is only a big redistribution of income.
I have a big decrease at FT of 75% this month.
-
I'm having a strong month there - not a BME but decent. Getting a good number of 5 and 7 credit sales so it isn't DPC. Hope it continues.
-
on one hand it was nice to see the avatars from FreezingPictures and especially sharply_done (R.I.P) again on the other hand it felt such disrespectful to see a newbie bury out a seven year old thread just to rave about one of the most unfair players and certainly one of the grave diggers of this industry (at least from a contributor side) just because of the usual chance in their search algorithm.

I'm a newbie, indeed! No shame in that!
I guess I made an honest mistake, while reading these topics on my phone: with those small fonts, I didn't realize it was an old one. I usually avoid to start new topics if the same subject is already open.
Now, what about being disrespectful? Disrespectful to whom?
Maybe because of the search algorithm as you want to believe, maybe because of other reasons, my small FT port, with only 172 files, brings me 73c RPD for the past 7 months (topping $200+/month, lately). Compare this to 70c on SS or 51c on IS! The fact is that FT pays me better/download than any other agency.
I fail to see where is the disrespect and now I wonder why should I respect aggressive post like yours.
-
i earned on FT 7 cent less per download then in June! that is huge drop in 30 days! credit sales and also higher monthly subscription are gone! that is reality my friends, we are losing war. we need to defend.
net income is down about 15%
-
I am just a rookie but so far my income is 87% up to last year at this time in point (All sites included) - my production is up by 25% as well thus reflecting the increase in sales. Only my 3rd year in the business therefore nothing surprising about my sales increasing. Maybe around my 7th year I will see a decline in the business...
-
aggressive post like yours.
wasn't meant aggressive..
And now time to:
OLD THREAD ALERT!
