I have sold 15 euro worth of photos at Yay this month.  It is still a piddly amount, but nice to see it improving!  I like the site, and hope things pick up there.

- I also thought I'd give them a little advertising in the top banner as a pat on the back

Got my first sales at 5 euros this month also

congrats Leaf!

I had lots of images hosted on their homepage, but still only earned 9euros since they started selling....
not that much.

Best,
diego

No sales but lots of hope for this one. Their approach to marketing appears to be different and wish them well.

0 sales here, nothing, zilch, nought

Good for you - none for me! (Yet)

I agree with you they need a tap on the back, I hope they go far

yay has lots of my images, and i like them. so i hope soon i too will see some euros added to my account. congrats to all who have sales.

Nicely designed site. I hope they do well. No sales for me there yet, although my portfolio is small.

the site is super easy to work with. Everything is very intuitive and simple. No sales yet...but I will continue to upload

nothing yet...
easy to upload, so will keep uploading for time being.

Glad you did Leaf as it prompted me to sign up today and upload a small test batch. Love the site and uploading was so prompt and easy. I know a lot of people  on this forum seem to be giving up on Yay (I've just read every single posting relating to them!) but as others keep saying it IS very early days.  It's a bit like starting out in microstock and expecting to have thousands of sales in your first week Business doesn't work like that. Any business. Regards, David

I am guessing Leaf got lucky.  Almost nobody has more than 1 sale on their message boards, and those contributors have been around since last spring.

Look at the traffic chart:



They don't even generate 1000 unique visitors per day.  And how many of those visitors are contributors checking their lack of earnings?  Seriously, I have a website which I run with zero advertising and I still get more than 500 unique visitors per day. 

Sold 2 so far, I don't think they have been given much time to get going and I don't mind leaving my portfolio there for a year to see if they can surprise us.  It was easy to upload and the site looks great.  I am only interested in sales though and I hope they can get some going.

Well done, Leaf! That's good going.

No sales for me either.

It's quite a big risk they're taking, trying to start up in the cut-throat world of microstock, what with the current economic climate.

But, they're easy on the eye, and easy to upload to ... so I'll give them a chance.

Congrats, leaf. Looks like you are a featured artist on Yay's front page today.

Congrats leaf on Yay front page,you have some nice photos

Also very impressed after almost 6 months still nothing for me....
So congratsssssss

Over 1800 images on the site for months and zero sales. Most people on Yay have zero sales. The future of Yay does not look bright for me.

Do you know the words to the "Lucky Oliver" song?

-Larry

Still at ZERO for me.
I feel they still have a lot to do to impress and encourage people.

I guess that with 4 sales I'm one of the top earners at Yay Micro 

I still upload all my pictures here because it is so easy, but we need sales soon indeed.

Maybe once this forum starts talking about good sales or at the very least good buyer traffic on the site I'll start uploading to yaymicro, for now, remarks like, easy to upload too, great site etc, does not do anything for me. I've tried following the crowd on another New Site/Low Earners with not even satisfactory views on it.

Congratulations Leaf and well deserved, you should take a 'screen grab' now because I doubt Yaymicro are going to be around much longer.

I pulled out of there a while ago but I must still be on the email list, today I got an email from them, it was the funniest thing I've read in a long time, it was like playing that game where you have to say the exact opposite of what you mean!

1 sale in 6 months.  Yaymicro is a complete waste of time.

This government sponsored site is exactly what a government-anything becomes. I think they're riding out whatever seed money came up front. Next time some higher-up bean-counter in Norway reviews this albatross it should be gone.
