Title: BDE at Istock
Post by: eppic on March 19, 2009, 22:26

Today I made $16.68; mostly off two images.  Sales for me at Istock have been steadily climbing since November and are now at the point where it makes over 50% of my total sales.  Not sure what's going on over there, but if it continues, i may look at becoming exclusive in September. 
Thanks Istock!

Way to go - I hope things keep improving for you!

FYI: You already have enough sales to go exclusive.

He should go faster than September. Exclusivity on iStock is the way to go for all new photographers. Promoveatur at amoveatur. (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/italian_to_english/poetry_literature/2504957-promoveatur_ut_amoveatur.html)   ;D

Yes I know I already meet the criteria, but with my submissions to DT, I have to wait 6 months before deleting those images, so I'm making the end of September my target should Istock continue to be in the 50% or more range of total income generation for me.

Congrats on the great sales at istock! 

They have picked up for me nicely too.  They were down to around 33% of my sales but have rebounded to a respectable 40%.  :D
