Title: FT slow in November for anyone else?
Post by: madelaide on November 26, 2006, 14:52

FT has been very slow for me this month, with half the $ from previous month and no El sales.  Given I have added a lot of images this month (Christmas related), I am disappointed.

Anyone having the same problem?

Regards,
Adelaide

Nope, actually I've had my best month ever on FT.  2 EL sales and its the best out of all the stock sites so far with a few days left.  Ironically, its IS giving chase with 300 fewer photos  :D

Only need to sell 27 more in the next 4 days to beat my previous best month ever.

would have to agree with the others here.  Even though i haven't uploaded anything since may, I am going to make the most this month ever at fotolia.

my sales go up and down a bit even though i have quite a few on the site.  With many images supposidly the sales should be at least a little more stable.  If you have few images on the site, it isn't surprising that the sales vary quite a bit.

I have 160 images there now.  Not a huge portfolio, but sales had been good and I had a few EL sales every month.

I have a small 'folio there as the majority of my offerings were rejected, even though they sell well at  SS, DT, BS, StockXpert, and others.  But even of what I have there,  no sales in a looooooooong time. Hence I have not uploaded there in over a month. My greatgrand children might, ...might, see a check. I'm jamming my stuff where it's selling.    -tom

It's funny how thsi varies from people to people.  I've had very few rejections at FT and sales have been reasonably good - my 3rd best overall, very close to the 2nd (IS).

My FT for the month of Nov is 10% down from last month, it's relatively stable.
But my IS and Stockxpert were down 50% from previous month, so that is a big difference.

Overall I am 21% less than Oct, so it was not a good month.

But with the first 3 days in Dec, it seems Dec could be worse, my SS stock and IS is so quiet, I may for the first time not qualify for a pay out with SS since I started. (100), of course still lots of time left for the month.

IS is good for me this month, whereas DT is slow (both in reviews and in sales, which is sad, it used to be my best site).  FT is so so.
