Looks good but what the site needs most is some new buyers.  I was selling a few but my sales seem to of dried up.  What are you going to do to improve sales?

I agree, I've close down my account with MP twice in the past two years, the one and must important reason, because of lack of sales and traffic on the site, two because of the dumb voting/rating system they have, and three, because of the very large amount of photos on the site with technical problems (out of focus, noise etc.) which I concider would scare . out of any potential buyer searching for an image, I really don't think I'm ready to go through the work of uploading there again, unless the volume of sales would increase to a point that it would override my other two complains about MP.

Thanks, but no thanks Micke.

The voting system will be gone in the new version (see earlier posts for more info) and we have also made a few adjustments to handle images with poor quality (more about that later). But we are still in the start up phase and the sales count is pretty low at the moment but we will start more aggressive marketing actions after the launch of the new version.

We wanted to make sure that Mostphotos was as good or even better than the competition before we start to make a lot of noise about it, and we really think we accomplished that with the new version. So we will start promoting the site as soon as the new version goes live.

Sounds good Micke.  Easy upload, Free storage and a few sales is good enough for me so far.

I'm glad the site is still around and changes to the voting system is a positive move. I hope you keep in touch both here and on the site micke.
