Post by: takestock on January 10, 2008, 04:26

The year has got off to a really good start at FP with nice Dls in the last few days.
How is it for you?

I just had another 4$ sale at FP. The previous one was on Jan 6, also 4$. The next sale will lift me over payout again. 2-300$ per year is not that bad for a site like FP. My 10MP shots are at 6$, but resizable. I have many full size sales.

I have to add that till now, FP is the center of my web-promotion. With the huge commission of 70%, FP can't do a massive ad campaign, just net promotion. I didn't sell at LO either, that's why I quit. Like Karimala said, it's a mystery why some people sell at certain sites, and others don't.

I had a few sales with FP last month but nothing so far this month.  I am getting a few sales with LO, 3 so far this month. 

I hope both these sites make it, as they let me sell images at higher prices than the micro sites and have a very easy upload procedure.

No sales on 27 images ... however I am uploading as fast as I can to this site as I believe in it and will promote it through my website using it as a back engine when I have everything up and running.

Most things get approved there which would also allow you to put something up quickly that you had a buyer on the side that wanted to pay by a credit card or something ...

Had my first sale of the year but I noticed there are a few image and collection referrals.  These are small amounts but it shows sales are growing there. 

FP still needs to make a big jump in sales to come close to most of the other sites but I hope this year good things will happen.

What are "image and collection referrals" at FP ?

If you make a collection (a minimum of 16 images) and offers it to clients, for instance, if they purchase from it get you referral earnings (a %).

Single images are not referrals.  You can learn more here:
