Title: Whoo Hoo, I joined the Club
Post by: Pixart on October 22, 2007, 20:07

The $0.30 club at SS, that is.  Sorry for the bragging.  I enjoy small milestones.  I know most people got there a whole lot faster than I did!

First sale March 17.  1753rd sale Oct 22.  I reached the $500 milestone a little early thanks to 3 - $20 sales along the way.

I've uploaded just new photos (well, just a couple from "that old crap") and now have 76 online.   Monthly sales have increased somewhat, but not at same rate as portfolio.

I am more selective about what I submit to SS and IS than the other agencies and thankfully have low rejection at SS.  (IS on the other hand.....)

I guess my experience here isn't large enough to make a real prediction, but by the looks of things, I think I would need to upload on an almost daily basis to increase my average daily downloads by a significant amount.   Sales seem to remain level by uploading only a couple per week.

Just thought I would share.  I was pretty happy when I was approved at SS, now I've reached the next milestone - I guess I need to set the next one.

Did he say that?  I only remember him saying "Hiss, splutter, wheeze, cough.... you are my son, Luke..... hiss, splutter, wheeze......"

Or was it "Wheeze, hiss, wheeze..... turn to the dark side, Luke..... wheeze, wheeze, hiss..."
