Amazingly, DT is actually outperforming SS and everyone else this month.  It's early days of course, but the first five days of August at DT have already beat all of July.  It may be a fluke, or it may be signs of a real change.

They go up and down so much for me - I've had months like yours where they come close to or even beat out SS, usually my best micro site (though I have 1/3rd few images on DT), and then others where sales are so slow. They've been like that for me from the beginning, so I don't think they're dying, they are just very different than SS. SS is really the only micro site for me that's (generally) consistent.

I barely sell a picture in a couple of months.

Same thing for me   >:(

Yesterday I had zero sales  >:(

Welcome Dave !

Like SandBoxStudio says, work at beginning with top agencies. After, you can try with others and you will see the differences  ;)

Good luck !

Unfortunately I was refused.
I hope that in future it may be opportunities to apply again  :)

If you got responce to your Call to artist 2015 application would you mind to share when you send your portfolio for review? I applied on 07.07 and haven't heard back yet.

On the same time like you.

Also in my case sales are weak. Despite the fact that I upload new content weekly.  :-\

I think it would be better to wait at least another 3 months  ;)

I sold images there with 175$ and it is nice when you see that, but it happens very rarely.

Unfortunately there are many thieves who steal and then sell those pictures. The real bad think is that agencies do almost nothing. They get the money in their accounts so they do not care as long they are with profits.. Those users eventually are blocked but all their money return in to agencies bank accounts.
It is easy to find on torrents pictures stolen from SS, FT, 123 and so on...

What is decent money? $50/mo? $200/mo? $500/mo? $1000/mo? The last one is a huge challenge for anyone, but $500/mo is very attainable with the right portfolio.

Which is exactly why so many people have said if your expectations are to pay for your gear and have some pocket money, it's not too late, but if you want to quit your day job and support yourself, then yes, it is too late.

Depends on where you live. With U$ 1000/month I can travel endlessly in the countries I like the most.
If you live in US/Northern Europe/Australia/Japan micro is a complete waste of time now.

I agree with Nikovsk ;)

One thing has changed, recently. Their review process is much faster.

Is the only good thing that happened in the last years  :-\

It's a good place to learn / improve new skills, but not for the $. They are just a bonus  :)
