I uploaded my portfolio to Mostphotos a couple of weeks ago.

I have to admit I am not expecting any great sales from the site.  However, in the past two days I've had two sales...one for 1.50Euro and one for $3.00Euros. 

If sales like that keep happening each day, this site will easily out-perform a number of the other sites that I upload to! 

I've got my fingers crossed that it's just not a fluke!!! :)

Their subs scheme has increased sales and I get a good average price.  They also have a good referral scheme, if anyone wants to try it, here's my link :)

They've picked up slightly for me too lately. Really hoping it's a sign of good things to come.

I recently posted a Mostphotos Update on my website which outlines their plans for 2012 according to their CEO.

Congrats. I sold a few last month. Didn't expect it. I upload everything there. It's a great site. Nice interface. Very easy to submit. It's one of my favorite underdog sites. http://www.mostphotos.com/theblackrhino

Unfortunately that is not my experience.  Recently I had 5 sub sales for 0.17 EUR each and a week later one for 0.12 EUR. This is ridiculous for a low volume seller. I have since opted out of the sub scheme.

My average subs sale is much higher than the micros.  I've had then as low as  0.15 EUR but I've had ones for 6.21€, 7.05€ and my best ever, 33.16€.  That one made me look twice :)

So I can put up with a few 0.15 when they also sell at much higher prices.  I wish all the subs sites were as good.

Cool! It happens sometimes, I've had a few huge sales (for me that means over $100 for my share) on sites which rarely or never sell. This is one of the reasons I don't take my images off sites which are very low earners (I've never understood the "you don't sell my images and I'm going to punish u" mentality of some contributors), as you never know what's around the corner.

+1 I've never understood that position either. It's the sites which reject my images that I would like to punish.

+1 - MP seems to improve in regards of downloads over the last weeks - some marketing activities perhaps? Anyway, hope this trend continues - good luck to all of us!
