Title: Have you ever had all agencies firing on all cylinders at the same time?
Post by: Semmick Photo on February 04, 2015, 08:07

Just wondering, have you ever had all agencies firing on all cylinders at the same time?

I never had a month where all agencies were all delivering great sales. There is always a few agencies that drop. I wish I had one month where I could see the potential of all agencies together. It seems that is an utopia.

My best overall month, including POD, was October 2013 and never been beaten. Mainly because I had a freak sale at FAA and IS cocked up and paid me too much.  8)

I wish/pray for one month where all agencies and POD would deliver a BME. Nice!

Upped you back to zero, to get you trough the day ;)

Nope, never had that now that you mention it. POD saved my January! SS & FT, my 2 best performers are showing their worst lately, ugh...

Aaah, thanks Snow ! :)

Yep, it seems that when some agencies drop, others make up, but bottom line stays the same. Other way around same thing.

You dreamer, you! No, I haven't and I never will, given that almost all of the agencies are in dire need of a rebore (and that just isn't going to happen).

Well, it seems the opposite is reality. All my agencies have dropped off now. Its like my portfolio is hidden or something. All agencies, including Canva are under performing this week.

Luckily two sales on 500px Prime and a big sale on FAA make this a good month, but its worrying that the micros are dropping.

Maybe I need to keep feeding the beast, maybe its time to move on to RM. I really do not know.

Congrats on your sales with 500px and FAA- that's more money than than most folks will make with RF in a full week or month!  :)

Thanks, 504$ is a big chunk of money but those are freak sales I cannot rely on. The agencies need to deliver steady sales.

No... But despite disastrous sales on FT and SS (my first two earners)in the last two months DT and ALamy sales were very good but not even close to catch the loses.

There are two (important) rules to stock photography.
Rule #2 - Sales will go up and sales will go down.
Rule #3 - You can't change rule #2

Dave himself abandoned those rules long ago when his sales started to drop  ;)
