I am heading for a new WME there this month. Less than 5 USD all month with 1000+ port.

Mellimage, i am with you

Was looking forward to the big Fotolia/Adobe deal thinking that sales should improve ...
But for me it was quite the contrary - sales fell asleep ... soooo sad!

Are you saying you've earned less then 5$ whole month with 1000+ port?

I was saying exactly that and then two sales came in. So now I am slightly above the 5 USD mark for monthly earnings. Yay me.

I'm sorry, but I can hardly believe that.

Believe me, I wish this wasn't true, but it is is - and it has become the rule this year that I earn below 10 USD per month at FT. Not an exception.

I am afraid it looks as if they have changed the search/algorithm. Well so far so good and I hope the change isn't too damaging.

It seems completely and utterly stupid to change a search now. It was a winning formula and many, many people were happy the way it was going.

I don't know what happen but my last sale was Saturday $:-\$

I'm going to tell you what happened. Go to search and type in "food". Now check the number of results.

jamiehooper · « **Reply #34 on:** September 28, 2015, 13:04 »

I have a small amount of images (around 400) and just passed $120 usd for the month of Sept. On FT.
On SS, I just passed $115 usd, same time period.

Clearly, we all have different experiences. My guess is that it has to do with the types of images we all make and the type of customer base each microstock site attracts during any given month/season.

Either that, or the God Of Microstock just spins a roulette wheel and laughs each month.

I normally don't write on forums but I also have almost no sales on fotolia. and they are keep rejecting files with the reason of "File Declined - Too Similar" eventhough they are not in same series or similar

Fotolia THIS IS NOT GOOD.

Well, that is a pretty broad category. You could say the same if you typed in "people."

The fact its a popular category got nothing to do with the search algorithm. The search concerns the placements not the category-

Perhaps you could be a little less enigmatic? Your post says check the number of of results not about placement?

Think you are right on both counts

Fotolia has always been quite good for me

Yes absolutely personally thought that the Adobe will rock, but usually they don't.

hansenn · « **Reply #45 on:** September 29, 2015, 10:14 »

BME on FT.

Of course that €100 EL today helped a bit

weymouth · « **Reply #46 on:** September 29, 2015, 12:27 »

Having a great day myself there with some $. 93 and thats without any EL.

Dumc · « **Reply #47 on:** September 29, 2015, 12:37 »

Yeah, I like the fact, that even if you get sub sale, it can get you more money, not just those 0.29 cents. I regulary have sub sales that are above 1€ and lots of them between 0.50 and 1€. Last week I even had one for 4.49€.
