Author Topic: ZOMG I just had 3 sales through Zoonar (Read 34796 times)

Just when I was beginning to think that they don't actually offer any of the pictures I upload for sale, there are 3 sales through their partner DDP at a whooping .49 € commission each! $:-\$

Oh well, two of them are micros, so I guess those are actually good commissions. The third one is a RM picture though. How . can they sell an RM license for .49 € commission?! Price was set to "standard", which makes me wonder what happens if you set the price to "micro"...

DDP has much sales for mobile usings. But they also have many good high price sales...

Get away from them ASAP! http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/conducting-business-zoonar-way-(rudest-support-i've-ever-seen)/

And I suspect Michael above is the rude employee I had that discussion with. Just see how the the attitude will change as soon as you decide to close the account

. IMO the worst agency by far I've ever dealt with. Sales are of course non existant (3 0.49€ are still counted under non existant, as you said, a joke)

Strange agency! really professional interface, layouts, everything and yet they cant seem to sell anything. Does anybody know if they sell at all? Normally German agencies are quite good but with Zoonar? just dont know.

So how's PM doing for you then? they had potential with some large sales but went dead pretty quick for me, but then I've only uploaded a third of my port there.

Sorry Michael-- I am a complete amateur when it comes to agency licensing, but what is a mobile use? And why should that make a RM file set on standard pricing end up costing less than 1 Euro? That is insane, I might as well stop selling things as RM then and sell them on Photodune (just my random example for stupidly low prices) instead.

Michael · « **Reply #7 on:** July 25, 2012, 12:20 »

Mobile usings are for mobile phones, IPhone and IPads, mostly for one single view. Some agencies have new types of licenses for that short time usings. At DDP these sales are in combination with a subscription model.
If you don`t agree to these prices, you can reject the submittet photos from partner DDP. Zoonar himsef dom`t offer this prices. But you should know that DDP often has high prices sales as well

I've had 3 sales in zoonar and reason Private ?

When you look at low performing agencies like these you really have to give it time (maybe 6-12 months) before you dump them. Uploading to low end or start up sites is always a test. I wouldn't hold your breath that Zoonar is a key player now in your monthly stock revenue.

Deyan Georgiev Photography · « **Reply #10 on:** October 03, 2012, 05:04 »

I have there 1268 pictures online seamse 18 months (I do not remember exactly) and 0 sales, no one no two, not for one cent just ZERO!!!

I sell on more then 26 other agencies and all of them have sales and not just one. Exept Zoonar.

I Zoonar I have some very very good files which sells hundreds of times elsewhere.

I'm talking not about 100-200 images and not about a couple of months!!!

For me Zoonar is completely zero efective and I already start to thinking that something is not very corret there.I see red signal lamp...

Just curious, do you know how the site works and on which partner sites do you have your images on? The whole idea behind Zoonar is the partner sales, I suspect you have your images only on Zoonar...(?)
I have accepted all partners except Alamy and Getty. 3000 images and I get about 100 euros monthly (it varies quite much month-to-month, but I'd say 100 is the average)

...and more 21 agencies.

My philosophy is to sell with as much agencies as possible (only those who are serious of course)

fotografer · « **Reply #14 on:** October 03, 2012, 09:56 »

This is my worse performing site ever. I uploaded 600 images to them nearly a year ago and have made the grand total of less than 10$. I have put them to all the partners except for Getty and Alamy.

Deyan Georgiev Photography · « **Reply #15 on:** October 03, 2012, 10:41 »

Something is strange, if we see on the right after Zoonar are PanterMedia, Crestock, MostPhotos and many more in which I sell.

For approximately one year a heve for example in:

PanterMedia - 50.51 euros
Crestock - $25.40
MostPhotos - 54.37 euros

Of course not with 1268 pictures, may be in some of them 50% more in other 100% more images, but...

Believe me! thats a one off or SANTA has come early.

hi perry, would u mind to share usually your sales come from which partner?

the only partner sales i got are from getty..i guess it is sold as very low price as I only got a total amount with message * * * Provision via partner agencies (GETTY_IMAGES) * * *

besides of that i got a few sales a year from zoonar site, but it doesn't indicate it is from any partner agency.

I tried to use it to distribute my RM files, but so far I haven't seen it sold anywhere..

I don't have the exact stats, but they seem to come from DDPIMAGES, GETTY_IMAGES (some of my old stuff are there), APISNETWORK, AGE, FOTOFINDER, PHOTOLIBRARY. Only very few are directly from Zoonar.

I closed my account some days ago. Zero sales since more than 2 years. For me: Not worth to work with.

Same here! 2793 files and zero sales, nothing!

tavi · « **Reply #23 on:** February 23, 2014, 02:17 »

I'm contributing to them for almost 2 years, have 1435 images now and not a single sale. Seems fishy to me. i started with 50% bonus (I don'treally know what this is) and now it stays written 65%. ) sales in two years...

Pauws99 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 23, 2014, 04:39 »

A massive one sale for me - I keep hoping................................but then I'm an optimist!
