Title: Sales on Zoonar?
Post by: Phillip Minnis on July 01, 2011, 04:17
Is anybody having sales on Zoonar?

I was receiving a steady flow of sales each month until the 4th of March, this year.

Since that day, I have not had one sale.

Has this happened to anybody else?

The Search-engines!!  thats what kills off the german sites. Its a mish-mash of everything and nothing. Zoonar with all their affiliates, they ought to sell better.

My last sale was 17th May.  Just below the payout threshold, so I hope they haven't reported June sales yet.

yep same picture (though I had a couple of sales attributed to May but I believe they were follow-ups from previous times - otherwise full stop since March).

that's a pity but I stopped wasting time with it until I hear about any significant improvement

The sales until march was from partner Polylooks not from Zoonar. But Polylooks it not working anymore...

Zoonar has no own typical Microstock-System (Credits, Subcriptions...) so we don`t have much sales in that category. But we have very increasing sales with our partner network. We hope to book the first sales reports from AGE and Alamy at least in August 2011, maybe in July. We build an international partner distribution network for microstock and midstock with many additional features for photographers (keywording, translations...). It needs many time until we have the photos online in the partner databases but we are on a very good way now with high increasing sales.

We also thinking about to implement these microstock functions in the future at Zoonar. We have all the stuff ready developed in the past, so we will have no problems to do that. But we don`t want to jump on this train to fast, because to many agencies did that. We want to go our own way. So maybe you will not have as many sales at Zoonar as you know it from the good microstocks, but you be surely part of an interesting new agency model with good growing rates.

Yes, I saw a 45 euro sale from DDP today. Perhaps things are moving at last.

As soon as I complain about sales, I get 2 nice ones to send me well over the payout threshold.  I hope they continue.
