Title: change in stockxpert sales
Post by: fotografer on August 03, 2007, 09:46
Has anybody noticed a difference in stockxpert sales this week?  Mine are double what they usuallly are which I didn't expect in August.  Have they changed the 'Popularity' order recently or is it just ebb and flow working in my favour. It's always been a bit slow for me compared to the other 4 sites that I upload to but this could make a big difference especially with some of those nice 2.50$ sales

It's business there as usual for me.
Slow and steady would be how I describe things.

Yes, I did indeed.

Oh, so it's you who got all my DLs! It's my 8th day in a line with no downloads at all ... Not a single one. Nothing. Total silence. Flatlining. Used to be ~2/day in April, slowed down to ~1.5/day in June/July, and not it's zero for more than a week.

Whatever it is - I totally dislike it. And I've never seen an ebb like this (except BigStock AFAIR, but I've cancelled my account there months ago ...).

My have been up a fair amount the last two weeks also. The thing I have noticed about StockXpert is that they are not effected by holidays and weekends as much as some of the other sites. IS drops off about 75% on the weekends and Holidays, but StockXpert keeps pretty steady...normally the weekend and Holiday downloads are less...but not always. I've had a couple weekends that were great with them. It tells me that a Lot more "normal" people are buying from this site rather than just designers.

Overall though.......StockXpert is getting better every week....slowly....but better....I'm now averaging a payout every two weeks from them...so I'm pretty happy. :)

Should have kept my mouth shut.  I've jinxed it for myself, not a single sale today.

I don't see a trend in my case, sales are happening in the same pattern - that is, not pattern for me, I may sell one day and have two without any - but it is by now my best seller this month.

Adelaide

After a week away, StockXpert made me smile the most when I checked my sales. 
They are good on my holidays as well :)
