Sales on Macrografiks
LesHoward:
I looked at this agency in September, 2013 and spent a couple hours checking them out. I left myself some notes about it at the time. I was impressed by the website, the royalties and the photography. BUT... I was unable to find any photographer who had even one sale. Given that, I chose not to start contributing to them yet but also decided to keep my eye on them. It's sad that nothing seems to have changed. I hope they can get their act together.

I have stopped to upload to them 2 months ago
They are fair and nice guys, yes.
But it is not enough for the business.

Not sure why you would stop uploading when they are in need of new work in order to build up the site and make it more attractive to buyers. Seems counterproductive to me but to each his own, I guess.
As I understand it marketing only began in earnest about 3 months ago so it will take time.
The appearance of the site is top notch as is the majority of the work being displayed there. I'll remain patient and do whatever I can to help them get off the ground.

Simply because I am used to stop uploading on sites selling nothing.
It is time consuming and I have not an unlimited internet forfait (I pay each bit that I upload).
When they will sell I will upload again.

I totally understand that it's chicken-and-egg and they need contributor support to get started. They just need to put out some contributor PR telling us that they do, in fact, have a plan to start making some sales. I think I started there a year ago and have yet to see anyone posting a single sale here. If their timeline is actually 10 years, well, I'm already too old for that I guess.
What I don't want is for a site to just suddenly go away while in possession of all my best photos.

I have had several sales recently mostly extra large file size :)

Very happy to hear that Mark. This is an agency I would really like to see succeed.
