Thinking of submitting to DT, to replace some of the lost dollars.

DT is the only agency where I'm making more money over time, even though I'm no longer submitting anywhere.

So far exactly 2 people have posted here saying they'd made sales. They each posted exactly 2 times, gave no details, and never returned. c

Meanwhile I've gotten exactly 7 views this month, the most recent being over a week ago.

My faith is being tested.

Make that 3 people now. Had a couple of sales late last week; small ones but at least it's a start.

Are you also seeing 'views' on MG, or did the sales just come out of the blue?

I'm seeing views but certainly nothing like I was getting a few months ago. At that time, however, I think the majority of those were coming from MG photogs and prospective photogs who were checking out the 'competition' and getting to know their fellow contributors....natural for that to die down at this point.

The best way to get views is to upload on a regular basis as new curated images are displayed on the homepage.

I believe their next 6 month report for current contributors is due out this week so should be some interesting reading.

Had another sale this month.
Not being funny stocktastic but I don`t have the time to get on these forums much that`s why I have only made 2 comments.

They just sent out a report to contributors. It is quite direct, and free of corporate-speak and weasel words. There are essentially no sales at this time ("just 19 contributors have sold at least one image") and the few that happened were due to self-promotion by the photographers themselves, ouitside of MG.

They suggest waiting another 6 months to see if something happens.

As long as they keep sending out reasonable-sounding statements I'll probably leave my (small) portfolio there, but I'm not finding the motivation to do any more.
