Hi everybody,
Sales at 123Rf picking up for me. Does someone else noticed it?

No, it actually seems to get worse from month to month. But I am not uploading, because I did not really see an increase of earnings despite my efforts.

For me too!

I have 4 times bigger portfolio than before a year and still same earnings...

Very weird site for me. 1 month it will beat StockXpert, the next month it is half as much as Crestock. Always jumping all over the place. I've already earned more this month than I did all of last, but that didn't take much. 

Consider yourself lucky! My portfolio is twice as big as it was last year, my earning has been less than half of that.

All I got there this month were 3 subs sales. It just gets worse and worse for me there.

I only started with 123 in late April, uploaded about 800 pictures in May, got only six downloads in May, but already 8 in June now - one of them a Tiff giving me 4,50.
That is a lot better than Bigstock at least.

uploaded around 50 new images last week with no difference in sales ,0 sales in June.

Very poor sales this month. I find 123RF and BigStock to be the most wildly inconsistent from month to month. SS is the most consistent.

One of the tree worst sites I contribute too, getting sales there for me is like pulling teeth, so for now I will not upload there anymore, and if I don't see a change in sales by the end of the year, I will pull the plug on them, It's definitely not worth my time.

I just noticed a few sales more than last time I had a few sales( two weeks ago) , If that´s what u mean ? 

Is it common that easy upload sites have bad sales?  This one, Mp, Canstock...

This morning I have (unusual) several sales on 123RF  above 1 $...

Maybe customers from StockXpert move to 123RF!?

this month ; 4 subs sales.

Only 5 sub sales this month for me.

still waiting for the first sale but less than 100 images online.  Hope you're right about taking the place of StockXpert.

Well... It is lowest commission for vector EPS files there... It is $1.25... And lowest price for Vectors on big six list... Only 5 credits or $2.5...

I decided not to upload my EPS files there until they raise prices. I will send them only rasterized versions and simple vectors from today.

They are selling - but for me it is selling with loss!

UPDATE! FOUR SALES THIS MONTH

123rf : April = 32.91$, May = 8.29$, June = 3.77$.

My sales are going down, down, down over there too, despite adding roughly 100 images a month, every month. 

Congrats Whitechild - you are the lucky one!

At least they are consistent: consistently slow   

I keep uploading there. With all the turbulence in this business, unexpected things may happen, and they are ahead of StockXpert for me now, way ahead. That wasn't the case a year ago.

Slow for me. But keep uploading as acceptance ratio is high.

Can we have your definition of "picking up"?

For me 123rf was always dead (less than 30$/month). I gave up last month.

I had slow april and may, but in june things look better, at least for now. Maybe it's just one of "good months". I had good september and march, but the rest was much slower. After all your comments I start to think I'm just lucky at this moment....tho, I would like more if you all said you had good last month too.

I have noticed 123RF content showing up on reflexstock's results:

perhaps this will help improve sales??

lately I noticed an increase in my sales there but we are not  talking about a great improvement here.  however it has taken BS's place for me as BS (somehow)  became a really poor performer for me:((
