Title: Is today as slow for you as it is for me?
Post by: Shelma1 on January 01, 2016, 12:41
I know it's New Year's Day and everyone's off work and hung over, but I've never, ever seen sales this slow, not even in the past post-holiday slumps. The whole world must have really partied last night.

Happy New Year, btw!

Seriously?  If I got any sales, I'd be surprised.  So I was surprised to get a Stocksy sale.

Couple of sales today on CANVA.  Nothing on SS and I didn't bother checking anywhere else.  I figure any New Year's Day sales are just a bonus to the rest of the month.  Actually spent the day cleaning up my port and closing two exceptionally low performing accounts (V and GL).  Sales so slow it wasn't worth even leaving already approved images up.  Not when you only see a couple of sales a year.  At that pace it would take more than a decade to reach even minimum payout.

39 sales on Canva today.  Pretty much all New Year's stuff.
