Adobe Stock / Do I have sub-normal sales on Fotolia?
« on: July 17, 2008, 13:43 »
Hi All,
I've been wondering about that for some time now, and figured I'd ask here...
I feel my sales on Fotolia are relatively much lower than average. My sales on SS and iStock are typically 6-10 time those on Fotolia, and very regularly, I make more 123rf than Fotolia. For the same set of submitted images, and with similar portfolio size. This contrasts a lot with, eg, Yuri's figures (http://www.arcurs.com/microstock-agencies-an-overview-for-beginners).
So... is it just me? Why? I tend to have 40+ keywords, and I don't spend too much time ordering them. I've read it might affect sales, but that much? Or maybe my stuff is not the kind that works there?
I'd appreciate any comments on this...
Thanks!
Antoine
