Title: Shutterstock Lightbox
Post by: Pixart on August 03, 2007, 00:02

I just spotted one of mine in a featured lightbox at Shutterstock.  It's not selling by the dozens, but more than usual.  Is the lightbox just for today, or how long?  I don't mind at all if they want to keep it there for a while! 

Back to School is the theme.

I think that it stays there for a month.  Have you noticed sales in general go up?  When I've had images in a lightbox my sales have rocketed as it brings attention to the portfolio.

Congrats!! I hope it brings you lots of sales, that wish can be selfish from me, since you are my referral, but I wish it genuinely for you  :)

Wow, a whole month - that is great.

It sold 5 times yesterday, and twice so far this morning, none on the 1st so maybe the lightbox just went up yesterday.  Another student one has about the same # and a couple puppies that I was suprised had sales, so buyers may actually be sifting through the others.

Bummer... this is the time that my portfolio there should be attended to and I am pretty hectic now until September.
