Title: So...how am I doing ?
Post by: leszek on February 05, 2008, 04:12

Started 5 weeks ago, so far accepted on 6 sites (still waiting to be accepted at SS and iStock).
About 50 downloads so far across 5 sites (including one image with 10 downloads) - with a prtfolio of about 35 pics on average. Recently uploaded another 40, most of it is waiting for acceptance, inluding all uploads to Stockxpert.

My question - how does it look like ? Average ? Poor ? Good ?
Just curious.

Stick with it, The amount of downloads to portfolio size is a personnel thing. SS and IS will give you a boost. Enjoy what you doing upload as much as you can and the sales will naturally come.

Thanks for the kind word :)
I asked the question because I don't have any reference point - being very new to the game (Yuri Accurs is NOT a reference point, he might as well be in different galaxy  ;D  )

I agree with nicemonkey you have to keep uploading and don't look back too much, downloads will increase some sites are slower to start than others.
