Title: Anyone ever sold anything on Scoopt?
Post by: Mormegil on February 29, 2008, 16:44

I'm getting the feeling it's been a waste of time to upload on Scoopt.  I've send in several dozen images, and the really newsworthy ones have gotten on Getty (some celebs, the Clintons, etc...).  My images often make the front page montage.

Still, not a single sale.

Has anyone had anything ever sell on Scoopt or Getty via Scoopt?

Never heard of them. According to Alexa, they are going down the drains (http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/scoopt.com) (take the 1yr graph). A rank of 300,000+

Never been there and don't think will be either!

My understanding is that they thrive on images that are of the moment, if it happened yesterday it's old news.

Thanks for the info.  Too bad I've got some great shots up there for 12 months of exclusivity.

Holy cr@p!  Spoke too soon.

I just got a sales notification from Scoopt this morning.  $900 sale!  Well, I'll get 40% of that, but I'm not complaining.
