Title: Very, very sloooow
Post by: epixx on February 15, 2007, 06:18
So far this month, I'm 80% above January for all agencies combined, in spite of no EL's and nothing else in particular. Just very healthy sales all over. But there's one exception: at StockXpert, I hardly have any sales at all this month ($3.50 so far). Not that I've had huge success there earlier, but it has been hovering between $10 and $20 each month since September last year, and my portfolio has increased a lot since then.

Has anybody else seen the same, or is it just me who need to pull myself together and upload some really sensational images.

for me, StockXpert is right on cue from last month. 

If your average is $10-$20/month that isn't a very large sample size and isn't too surprising that there would be rather large variations from month to month.

You are right of course. Still, I would have expected them to follow DT, where I have a similar portfolio, although 30% more images. But while DT is sky-rocketing, StockXpert is going through the floor. This month, even Crestock is selling better for me   ???

Give your self a slap and pull yourself together.

StockXpert is going slow for me too but it is all ebb and flow (as they say).

I'm pulling all I can   ;D

With 80% increase so far this month, I think I'm doing reasonably well. I agree on the ebb and flow, but this is a long ebb for me at StockXpert. Can I hope for a tsunami?

Are you uploading new photos to them?  My sales are good this month but I have been sending them new photos all the time.  My sales did slow down once when I took a break from uploading.

Every day, except Saturdays and Sundays. It's interesting to see where that has an effect and where it doesn't. On DT, the effect has been great, and obviously on SS, while on IS, it doesn't seem to matter at all. At StockXpert, I start to doubt it, but maybe I have the wrong kind of images there. I notice that some of those that sell there, stand completely still at other agencies. Maybe their customers just have a weird taste   ::)
