Title: How did your xmas fare?
Post by: Semmick Photo on December 27, 2014, 05:02
Xmas days was normal for a xmas day, but I had a surprisingly good boxing day. Someone used their daily quota to DL my eye shots, including 4 ODDs. Ended up with 35 sales. Even got sales on 123, PD and Canva. Not bad for the holiday period. Now I just need to get through to next week without zero sale days.

Hope you had some good sales too.

Hey Hans, jij ook een goed uiteinde gewenst.

I normally only have a handful too, but someone seemed to have a need for 25 eye shots. I think its one of those scams where they download bundles to offer them in these image packs that go onto eBay and Rapidshare etc.

I had a nice big sale on Crated - my first there - on Christmas Day - and some nice dls & POD sales elsewhere. December has been good - got my first large SOD (nearly $70) on SS this month too.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and have a Happy New Year!

Hope they don't try to resell your stuff Ron - sounds like a nice sale!

SS went gang-busters for me a few days before Xmas. By far best month to date..

For me, the week ending Friday had half as many sales as a decent day had earlier this year.

It was my worst week ever, with half as many sales as my previous WWE.

So, IOW, about as I expected, considering what's been happening on iStock lately.

For me dec 2014 is already now the best december ever, had very good sales on Shutterstock, a lot of fine sales her and there and, it's curiously, on Canstock  I had my BME.

They downloaded another 10 eye images yesterday. I wonder why someone would DL 35 of those images. Maybe I should write SS asking them to check if the buyer is legit?

Had a very quiet week. Sales every day but very very few compared to normal. Looking forward to it picking up- enjoy the rest of the holidays everyone.

Pretty good holiday.

Was expecting to sell more of my holiday stuff but ... I can't complain much ... and it seems that I've been one a two week "do absolutely nothing" binge.

I didn't do my year end numbers yet but looks to be a OK month for December.  The two dead holiday weeks are lively more than usual.
