no problem at all with conversation, I am "used" to receive/send emails regarding photography clients/other, I just wanted to know more details, nice to see sales at Symbio!

good..

but don't expect many conversations with symbiostock buyers unless you like to bother customers yourself and send them emails  

%99 of times, they just buy and disappear..

Thats really cool to hear. I'm ignorant regarding Symbiosales unless people speak up. I make a few sales a week - I sold a collection the other day for 60+ dollars. I'm quite certain there's quite a  few illustrators and photographers getting sales and keeping quiet.

very cool , is there any simple and fast direction to join this? thanks

Basically just this:

Get a website.
Install wordpress.
Install Symbiostock.

...then take a while to move in... (the hard part)

And your all set.

www.symbiostock.com for the initial direction, www.symbiostock.org for all the help

There may be some good threads on this board, too, but since a new version has been implemented and the directions for implementing those new versions is different, mostly the info you need will be at symbiostock.org. Well played, Leo, well played.

not really making a few sales a week yet

more like a few sales a month.. but can be quite good when I include my other site..

Another sale today. 

Congrats Redneck! 

I got another one yesterday as well.

Had my second sale last week.

Congrats all, Woke up to a 7.50 euro sale.

Happy to join the club My first sale today!
Sure there's still much work to do but I just got my 6$-encouragement

That's awesome! Congrats on your sale.

First sale today, 6 euro!

congrats everyone !

it must be feel like the first time someone bought your image!

I'm still waiting for my first sale - the upload process for me is time-consuming, but when its done , I'm hoping it will be worth all the effort.

btw if anyone is interested in linking to my site its  jeneimages.com  -  heavily weighted toward landscape and travel photography, with a little bit of everything else thrown into the mix. My goal is to have my 800 pics up by the end of December. If you think this would complement your network I would appreciate the link!!

Congratulations on the sales!

I've just launched my Symbiostock site today, despite all the thousands of images I need to upload, and I'm really excited on the potential sales!

The good old days! I was just thinking of this thread today.

As it turns out the good old days are still here. People are still getting sales on grfx that was branched from the former project known as "Symbiostock".

For those of who who have not seen many sales, I found this extremely helpful link that is depicting SEO standards as perceived applicable for 2016. I agree with everything in it: http://www.amberddesign.com/articles/onsite-seo-checklist.html

I'm proposing we alter this thread to apply to all self-hosted mediums so people can get a constant report of what is getting the sales. grfx has been reporting sales since it's conception though it is not as public as it used to be, such as in the case of this thread.

grfx is stable and not likely to see many revisions from here on. We only focus on what is crucially necessary to make the sale, as well as utmost stability and simplicity. 

Here is the facebook page. Our main site is being overhauled for some new systems.

Plugin page: https://wordpress.org/plugins/grfx/
Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/grfx.co

Its worth noting I have been focusing on illustration and have not been attempting to make a grandios cash-grab out of grfx -- I am giving it's monetary success to a later date while people continue to find their way in these challenging days of Stock Imaging without too much financial burden imposed by their selling medium.

Congratulations on the sales!

A lot of sales in the futures :-)

My first sale on my new Symbiostock plugin based personal agency. Well, just $2.00, but everyone has to start somewhere...

I even had two sales for Bitcoin (Alt coins) by now! I use a WordPress plugin alongside grfx & wooCommerce adding payment functionality for ALL Crypto coins -- such as Litecoin, Dogecoin, Earthcoin, Mintcoin, Mazacoin, etc -- on top of Biticoin itself...

In fact, this makes a lot of sense because most microstock sales involve micro payments -- and remember, Bitcoin and most Alt coins having zero transaction fees and essentially being instalnt and free payments are perfect for that scenario!

[/quoteSeriously, why 2 dollars? Why not $200?
