This is my port on SS:

I'm less than a year in microstock (and photography).
My question is: how many dlds/month should I expect from these files at SS. I'm talking about dlds only on SS. I don't want photo critique here, only a number. Thank you all.

didn't check your keywords, but at a quick glance perhaps in the 150-200 dl/month range would be my stab in the dark. Others may disagree.

you have some nice shots

Not sure what you question is. You are asking how many dls you should expect at ss when you already know the answer as your port is already uploaded there. How many you get is how many you should expect nothing more nothing less. Unless I misunderstand your question.

I was asking what do you think. Of course I know the number, but I am curious if it's ok. For that I asked you how many dlds do you think my port should have in a month. Nothing more. Only an opinion. A number.

I guess 40-100 dlds/month.

Ah ok I would guess that you would get between 2 and 5 dls a day.

Well, how many do you get?
Your port is very widespread, and many of the images are not presice ( ½ deer and such). I think it is the kind of port that would get dls from newest first but less from searches and that it needs constant improving and uploads to not soon sink into the masses of mud.
My guess would be 30--> 15--> 8 per month without serious maintenance.

tavi · « **Reply #7 on:** November 08, 2012, 07:11 »

I'll tell you how many. Only that I want more answers first.
JPSDK: I didn't checked this. So I looked at the earnings from new content/ total earnings. Now my port is new and not big enough, but if I check for 6 months, 49% of earnings are from new content. If I check for 3 months,, only 38%. So it seems that my old files do sell.

50-100 dlds/month

JPSDK · « **Reply #9 on:** November 08, 2012, 07:45 »

what would I know?
My port is old, so what would I know about new ports?

Microbius · « **Reply #10 on:** November 08, 2012, 09:08 »

I agree with the rest on here, around 100/ month. There's a consensus so time to cough up an answer

Darn this could have been an entertaining opinion poll.

I vote 80 because of dupes and similar images. (after looking at his images) No other reason.

Or 99 and a half because of the song title?

Or 98.6 for Fahrenheit normal body Temp.

Or for old timers 99 44/100th pure

My oldest One Timer so far is 2009-12-10 that sold this year. About 2 1/2 years for 33 cents. Oh Wow!

But I think that brings up a good game for me to watch. I'll have to log all the no sales and then if one sells, I can have a big party and buy half a candy bar?

Today I sold 2 pictures for the first time. 6 months old , maybe 7. Weird.

I had two "first-timers" as well today. One is new (about two weeks), the other very old (about four years!).
It's not really rare that I sell pictures that are several years old and haven't sold within the last year. No idea how buyers dig them up...

Max 169 dls!

cascoly · « **Reply #21 on:** November 08, 2012, 17:05 »

any numbers you see are just guesses - if anyone could predict actual DLs to within 10% they'd be submitting those pictures themselves

Ok, if you want a wild guess, I'd say around 50 DL a month.
