In the past I have written  to support to get the whole portfolio put up in one go.  I am going to do it again now and get them all put to 100$ now that I know that they will sell at that price. It was done very quickly.

Hi, A  couple of weeks ago I decided to put my El's at max of 100$ just to give it a try because I thought that if somebody really wanted a photo that they would pay it, well today I have had a 100$ sale. 
So don't undercut yourselves, I started off at 10$ and have gradually increased and my El sales rate stayed the same after each increase.  I only sell one or two a month but I would have to have sold 10 at the original price to make the same money so I thought that it was worth the risk even if I started to sell less.
Just thought that I would share that with you incase anybody is hesitant about raising their prices.

I see a $10,000+ vote.  Has andresr paid this thread a visit

Could be sjlocke he sometimes visits.

Haven't done % yet but istock is way down. 
It's usually level with SS but have made 50% more on SS this month than IS. 
Everyone but IStock is up on last month.

I answered  before reading it properly.  I thought it meant which would I send someone to, to buy one of my images so I answered DT as I make the most out of it on average. If I  was sending a friends to buy images I would send them to the cheapest site, probably FT.

After lots of failed attempts I have managed to get just 4 images uploaded but I can't find them to finish them off.  Does anybody know where to look or do they go into no-mans land until they get reveiwed and then we finish them off.
Thanks

My earnings have gone up a lot since dreamstime introduced subscriptions, so I don't think this will reduce my overall earnings.

The earnings went up since DT introduced subscription not because of the subscriptions but because they gave a substantial price increase and introduced a tier system at the same time.  I'm convinced that if they hadn't done that the earnings would have gone down

This is all set to be my worst month on istock since last September.  Most other sites are having record months.

Are they all your images or have you included images by other photographers because you can't make a lighthbox public with only one persons images.

The sites down at the moment so they are probably sorting it out.

I'm adding "... visit my gallery to see Shutterstock's largest aircraft collection", which is absolutely true.

Is this allowed?  I hope so as then I will definatly do the same but I seem to remember reading in the SS forums that it isn't allowed.

The highest I ever had was 124  dls/month but in the last best match re-shuffle it slowed right down  and is now at 72 but around the same time another one took off and is now at 92,6.   
I currently have 5 images at over 50dls/month and 10 at over 100dls/month. 
3 of them are very similar images of something that I thought of but there wasn't much of in the collection and them along with 2 more similar ones have a total of nearly 200 dls/month. I have noticed a few copies of them recently but I still have the advantage in the search because of the high downloads month ratio which seems to make a difference in the best match search.
A lot of it is the luck of finding a concept that hasn't been well covered or managing to do it better. I constantly look at magazines for inspiration and have had some great ideas this way.
