As a recent contributor to SS, I am curious to know about download figures in comparison to their portfolio size. I am hoping there are enough vector contributors in this forum that might participate in this poll. It doesnt matter what kind of download it is whether it is a single, on demand or subscription. Just take a look at the last two weeks during a normal working week day. :)

I will most likely make the poll viewable even if you haven't voted if we get enough votes later on. It would be interesting to get an idea roughly how many vector artists are contributing at SS that are here at MSG.

Not trying to be harsh but...
If you have hundreds of vectors online at SS and you're only getting a few downloads a day, you really need to think harder about your content.
As a vector designer, you can create... anything! You don't need to travel the world, hire models, or invest thousands of dollars in photography gear. Pick a topic or theme and create it.
There are a lot of people creating vector illustrations of flowers, butterflies and happy puppy dogs. If that's your thing and you aren't worried about making money, than keep doing it. If you want to make some cash, you need to cater your designs to a more commercial market.

I have made the poll results available to all. I was hoping there would be more participants.

And a very nice pile of rocks it is!
OK, so maybe I was too harsh... sorry. :-[
