Title: Do you have any sales in Crated.
Post by: Dragomir Nikolov on August 17, 2014, 15:40

I have started to contributed to Crated recently. No sales, visits aren't good too. Do you have any sales in Crated?

Did you get "curated," or are you simply uploading images without waiting for that little nicety?

I got my first sale on Crated today, $32 for the only one of my around 100 images there that has been curated by them. An abstract watercolor painting. I had the markup quite high the first months, when I got this one sold the markup was set to 30%. What markup percentage do you use there?

If I remember correct Crated launched in May 2014? Anniversary soon? It's so very peaceful and quiet here... No one, nothing? Is it alive (not including collecting hearts-like it)?

Edit.
In the fact I wouldn't be surprised if people don't get sales here. I just tried to find some images from my gallery, so search for keywords gives me zero results. Now, if client comes to Crated and wants to buy something exceptional (location for example), but your image doesn't show in search (it was not curated or other reason), then search result says: "sorry, no results..." and what client does? Looking for it on another site with more images in offer? Crated is so much curated that it has a lot poor offer in searcher than others. Which means less money for agency and authors... Am I right?

I was hoping that by now they'd have announced a reviewing/acceptance system that made sense, instead of the mysterious "curator" that might, at any time, decide he likes your stuff, for reasons never disclosed.   Or not.

I like the site but after seven months with 300 images that have proven to sell well elsewhere, no sales.

I did a few test searches. For one of my more popular images the search turned up only 40 images with the same search term. 13 of the 40 are mine.

Based on that, I'm going to say either their buyers are looking for something very specific that I don't offer or they have no buyers.

Either way, I haven't invested any more time and won't until there's some sales activity.
