Title: When to "shoot your turkeys"
Post by: kmlPhoto on February 26, 2015, 14:12

I have been submitting for about four years now, but devote so little time to the process, I consider myself a student. I was thinking about some of my older submissions that never sold once and wondering if it makes sense to delete them. In other words does it help my sales to have a higher percentage of popular images or a higher image count

Thanks in advance!

I think you are wasting your time and energy in thinking about things like this.

Just concentrate in shooting new great image. A lot of quality images will make the percentage of your old images smaller - they may even sell some times if your portfolio gets more exposure.

I have some images from 2005. They sell only now and then, but when they do I get some warm and fuzzy feelings - never thought of deleting them.

Only when they are dragging down the value and look of your portfolio. When the early images are an embarrassment AND not making money.

I prefer to shoot my turkeys around Thanksgiving time  ;)

I did the same. Only some images returned online after reprocessing - the new software did its magic
