Post by: sharply_done on June 12, 2008, 11:16: Fotolia has subs? Since when?
Title: Re: first sub sale!
Post by: lisafx on June 12, 2008, 11:31: I've had 34 so far over a couple of days. Kind of worrying since they are all to the same buyer and all of the same models.

Hope this is just a company that really needs that particular type of model rather than someone planning to do something like the reselling of subscription images that has plagued Shutterstock lately...

So I notified Chad about this - not sure whose images are in this "collection" as I don't think you can see the individual images without downloading them (which I won't do).

Post by: fotografer on June 12, 2008, 13:11: 18 so far about about 6% of this months sales.
I have sold over 70 images more this month than the first 12 days in May which was a BME so no complaints here.

Yeah, this is exactly the type of thing I was concerned about. Boy, these thieves work fast!

I couldn't see what images they are offering, but I don't think it is my series that was downloaded. They were my older folks, not business images.

Title: Re: first sub sale!
Post by: dirkr on June 13, 2008, 07:04: first sub sale for me today, from a customer that has previously bought from me paying "regular" prices. So much about Fotolia's fairytale of "only new customers buying subs"... >:(

ditto...1 one today for less $$..ugh
Title: Re: first sub sale!
Post by: CofkoCof on June 17, 2008, 12:15: Just had one, L size ofc. It's good that vectors and bigger sizes can't be purchased with subs. Would like to see that on other sites also.
Title: Re: first sub sale!
Post by: Nemo1024 on June 25, 2008, 04:08: My firs sub sale today - an L for .30. For comparison an earlier XS sale generated .33. I am not sure I like subscriptions...
Title: Re: first sub sale!
Post by: Peter on June 25, 2008, 04:23: i have 23 so far >:(
Title: Re: first sub sale!
Post by: anonymous on June 25, 2008, 11:00: I've had 5 to date, but the interesting thing is that 4 of the 5 were older and had never sold before...perhaps that is a "positive"?
Title: Re: first sub sale!
Post by: stokfoto on June 25, 2008, 11:20: I've had 3 so far and two of them came in just today.but once the "season" starts I think will see more of them.
