Title: 600,000...
Post by: hatman12 on November 06, 2007, 04:53
I see that while I was away on holiday last week Lisegagne passed the 600,000 DL mark.

Looks like she's selling 100,000 every six months at the moment.

An incredible performance.  Congrats to her and long may it continue.

That's soooooo cool for her. A fellow "Québéquois". Funny that IS is Canadian and their top selling photog is also Canadian.

Too bad we get paid in US$ I'm down 15% in 2 months just on the exchange rate! But I won't complain sicne I've been getting good money before!  :D

On a daily basis she is now outsold by Yuri on iStock alone, so with all his other sites just sit back in awe at the money his team makes.

I've always said she would probably make far more money if she was on other sites, exclusivity bah humbug, Yuri has showen the way to be really successful at this game more than any other microstock shooter.

That might be the case KR, but remember that as an exclusive black diamond Lise will be getting twice the commission payout compared to Yuri.  That also means the other sites would have to be able to make up more than half her present earnings to justify NOT being exclusive.

When you consider that the top producers at places like FT and DT have TOTAL sales of around 50,000, producing an extra 100,000 sales for Lise every six months would be a very tall order.  A VERY tall order indeed.

It's only going to get worse, the USD isn't going to recover anytime soon.

That's bad, I'm collecting payouts this month and was expecting even a small recover to make the transfer. 

The US dollar is losing value even again our Brazilian currency.  It's even starting to be a major economical concern, because it's bad for our exporting companies.

A lot of companies are now starting to trade in the Euro, the company I work for prefers the Euro to the USD, that's another nail in the USD coffin.
