Anyone else seeing StockFresh sales improve?

I can hardly believe it, but Stockfresh seems to be reviving for me.  I have had sales nearly every day this month. 

Is there some advertising initiative going on, or am I just getting lucky?  Anybody else notice some improvement there?

No changes for me, still barely any sales :-(

Yes, I have growing sales too. Still very slow and no big thing, but it is growing undeniably :-)

In my case it's the opposite - October has been completely dead - not one download so far this month (and even for a dead site like StockFresh, that's not typical for me). Glad you're seeing something stirring, but I'm thinking their best bet is to change what they're selling - they should sell the engine for their stock web site to aspiring artists, cooperatives and agencies. Looks decent and works well - certainly beats the heck out of k-tools :)

Cool idea :-) Line me up as a customer :D

about 3-5 dollars a month here. Whoopie!!

My portfolio is too small to be statistically relevant in the big picture but I'm seeing activity.  I had a few sales in March & April and then nothing all summer but in the past 2 weeks I've had a few sales.  I was wondering if it was attributed to a marketing push or just a seasonal bump.

Between 1 and 6 sales each month, with no noticeable improvement

Thanks for starting this thread, so I remembered to push my daily dose of pictures through their upload process

I doubt it, I may be wrong but I think they're waiting for the 'second coming' or whatever their latest excuse is for not doing any marketing.

Lisa I can only imagine that your 'sales success' there is connected to a freak miracle whereby someone somehow stumbled upon the Stockfresh site by accident, I hope it continues for you but I'm guessing you'll be back with the rest of us (i.e. pathetic sales figures) that were taken in by their initial hype and now can't be bothered to waste the time to delete our stuff.

Not for me.  Except for the occasional EL I barely make 10$ a month there.  Not even 4$ yet for October.

rubyroo

Much as usual for me, Lisa.  Glad to hear their sales fairy is sprinkling magic dust on you though!   :D

Mantis

Nothing improving. I think I am at $5 for the month. My monthly average is $8 to $10.

sharpshot

No improvement for me but I'm still keeping the faith.  Would be nice if a few of the FT buyers that can't find my portfolio anymore went to SF.  Perhaps "If you build it, they will come" should now be "If you build it and spend a small fortune in marketing, they might come".

Sorry to hear the sales bump is not universal.  Sounds like a few of us are seeing it though.   Hopefully it will spread.

I almost cannot believe that you have 7000+ photos on that site and didn't even get sales daily. to me, it's still very dead.  ;)

No the bump isnt universal thats for sure. SF, is in fact the one and only agency that does not increae in sales, all others do however slow but they do.
Must say I expected more from the old SX team, they sure have the experience in this field.

I've seen a munificent $1.50 so far this month. What's sad is that $1.50 is a pretty good month for me at SF.

Nope no increase and also no sales in October either.  Same 'ol same 'ol.

I have a few bucks sitting there. I uploaded a bunch more photos a couple of months back, hoping to kick it in the butt and see it move. Nothing. Still where it was the beginning of the year.  :(
