Title: zero sales
Post by: sfmthd on May 18, 2013, 13:28
i uploaded about 200 images to p5 - some of which sell very well at other sites (SS, FT, IS) - and they were all approved about a week ago.

so far, not a single sale. not one! is this normal? having a similar experience at DT.

Very normal, especially with that port size.  I get maybe 5 sales a month with 2800 images.

I've gotten 6 or so with 700 over 2 months.  Almost a waste of my time, although I did make $50.

Good earner for me, but again it depends on the content of your portfolio.

Isn't P5's strength with video?

It is, but a push to become a top tier for images/illustrations is important because you set your own prices.  By MS standards, I make $2-$10 for their smallest size download.

^ Their rise would be great for all of us. Especially for "few" of us who don't make videos.

It would be a shame if they don't put some effort to push "stills" to start selling.
