How to improve vector sales?

(1/3) > >>

steppysteph:
How do you improve vector sales in each of the following sites?
Currently, my best selling site is SS. As I understand, as long as you constantly upload in SS, you get better sales. So what about other sites?

Fotolia?
Stockxpert?
123Rf?
iStockphoto?

I get minimal sales in all other 4 sites. I am not sure what I could do to improve sales. Any styles?

designalldone:
With regards to iStock, often Reviewers will suggest looking at the "Needed Files" section - so may be worth considering:

My sales at 123RF and Fotolia have always been tiny compared to iStock & Shutterstock, so I tend not to spend too much time worrying about them  ;D

Also on iStock, putting your images in lightboxes with links in the "Photographers description" section of each image must be a good way to help increase sales - the reason I say this is because I find I'm constantly clicking these links, exposing me to tons of images that otherwise I would never see. I haven't had time to figure out how to do this yet, but it's definitely on my agenda!!  ;D

steppysteph:
I also wanted to be part of a lightbox and trying to figure out how to do it... but I think you can only get into a lightbox if the moderator of the lightbox adds you or you are the starter of the lightbox. Not sure though...

Thanks for the help!

suwanneeredhead:
Steppysteph, start your own lightbox on IS, and put others' work on it too, you'll get a lot of exposure.

steppysteph:
I still don't have a niche so I don't know what lightbox to create... but I will do that! Thanks!
