Congratulations! I have 4 sales already, netting me €6.5

They are distributed over 1 small, 2 medium and 1 subscription.

good to know. hopefully this is a sign that sales are finally coming in. i haven't uploaded to them for month now, as everyone is saying they seem to be sleeping.
pity, because i like the site.

Lee Torrens · « **Reply #3 on:** October 17, 2008, 14:45 »

I had a sale last month. €2.50.

They've been relatively low-profile lately, but they're very responsive to email for me. I guess they're dealing with growing pains at the moment as the submissions mount up.

travismanley · « **Reply #4 on:** October 18, 2008, 15:23 »

good to hear...not sales here yet, but im not complaining.

Bateleur · « **Reply #5 on:** October 19, 2008, 01:15 »

Same here ... still no sales. But I'm hanging on in there. No point in withdrawing everything I've uploaded.

nicemonkey · « **Reply #6 on:** October 19, 2008, 04:32 »

No sales for me either but I keep uploading in the remote hope that it might take off

congrats!
still waiting here

one sale, one euro, a very long time ago

Is there any way to see the buyer? Sometimes I get the feeling active forumpeople always have a few sales in the beginning of new sites...

I am not active in the forum at all. We just had a sale today, EU 2.50 for a Medium.

I uploaded my 200+ best when they opened for business and have seen a grand total of 2 sales. That performance ranks it far below even Lucky Oliver in their declining months. My expectations now of Jay is hovering around zero. That puts it neck and neck with SnapVillage.

In my estimation, you could tie the two together! - say no more!

takestock · « **Reply #13 on:** February 26, 2009, 05:51 »

Surprise, surprise!

I checked in today to find my first sale!
Spring and fresh growth!! - lets hope so.

ibogdan · « **Reply #14 on:** February 26, 2009, 07:45 »

I had two sales within a week some time ago and one of my referrals had also two sales. Total 7,7 EUR.

oboy · « **Reply #15 on:** June 17, 2009, 11:15 »

Had my first sale with YAY Micro couple of days ago!

louoates · « **Reply #16 on:** June 26, 2009, 19:00 »

I cannot believe that this site is still open. One sale this year. The only good thing is that it has confirmed my expectations.

I agree! same for me - 1 measly sale.

ibogdan · « **Reply #18 on:** June 27, 2009, 13:31 »

Seven sales and a total of 23,8 eur.
Close to payout

goldenangel · « **Reply #19 on:** August 09, 2009, 23:58 »

After coming from vacation, I was surprised today to see my first sale on YAY for 5 EUR.

We have a saying that one bird doesn't mean that spring is coming

but still , it was nice to see the sale.

Microstock Posts · « **Reply #20 on:** August 10, 2009, 02:41 »

I had one sale with them last year in July. I think I got a Euro. I only have about 40 photos with them, however I hardly have enough time to upload to the major sites. Would be nice if Yay became a bigger player though, nice site and good service.

Fotonaut · « **Reply #21 on:** August 19, 2009, 02:59 »

Yay!

My first Yay sale. 18 images portfolio, 2 views for the image, 1 download (medium), €2,5 commission:

dirkr · « **Reply #22 on:** September 03, 2009, 09:00 »

Found out today that I had my first sale on Yay yesterday.

One Euro for a subscription sale, how nice would that be if they could combine those prices with the volume of the big sites.

studioportosabbia · « **Reply #23 on:** September 30, 2009, 16:36 »

Good to know that sales happen sometimes.... I upload here since a month but nothing sold. Lost of files were rejected because "they are not suitable for stock". Funny that these are bestsellers elsewhere

mwp1969 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 21, 2009, 13:06 »

I have 130 + images currently online with Yay and am in the process of once again uploading to them. I have over 300+ to upload that have been approved at SS or IS and probably another 300-400 that have been approved in places like 123rf or BigStock.

I am still awaiting my first sale at Yay.

litifeta · « **Reply #25 on:** October 21, 2009, 20:01 »

still no sales here ... another Crestock for me.

Will not upload to anymore sites unless I get paid.

studioportosabbia · « **Reply #26 on:** November 05, 2009, 19:35 »

Finally, after 3 months and 374 online I had my first sale today: one whole euro!!

Lets see how this works out. LO is gone, Snap is gone, Albumo quietly evaporated, and one year later I don't see much in the way of glowing testimonials for Yay. Are they on the watch list of agencies that will shut down in 2010? May 2008 to May 2010 is about the standard two years and out program.

I checked back in at Yay and see that I had my first sale this month

It was 1 Euro for a subscription sale on a portfolio of 309 images. Easy upload and I will continue to upload there and hope for some of those higher Euro sales I've seen people getting on this thread for their sales ...

true:)

I will continue uploading: they have an easy upload proces, the site looks ok and their approval time is very reasonable as well as the approval rate. Give them a chance, they might grow!

Yeah, they might. During the next ice age.
