Sales have been atrocious for me on CanStockPhoto. I think they have hidden my portfolio from search.

Been stuck at 13 dollar for 2 months LOL

some people do well there (looking at some reports here at MSG forum), its not my case, I have made around 410$ since April 2009

Hi All,

First post on MSG after lurking for a while. I've been on CanStock for nearly two years and have been getting over $100-$150 a month for last 12 months or so and showing increases, albeit gradually, so sales going okay for me. Upload maybe 50-100 images per month but not just new stuff selling

You have an insane portfolio... Its everything I ever want to be able to create at some point

Sales are not huge but steady for me. Among the smaller sites Canstock works ok for me, better than most others, plus it is very stable and seems well programmed.

Still anticipating my first sale.  Signed up 9 September; 314 images online; NO sales to date;
The tension is building.   

ED:  The Power Ball Jack Pot is $550 million. 
Figure the odds.  

i was stuck around $45 for a bit - and blamo! had a over $25 sale - so you never know when youll get a nice one.

For what its worth cs is a small site - slower sales , but when I get a nice $10- 25 sale I have to say I'm glad that a smaller site can still be offering some nice sales, even though it may only be once in a while...

There is one way to test the theory of CanStockPhoto not allowing payouts-

Have Yuri put his portfolio out there and see if he gets stuck at $40 or $45 

Interesting situation: before 50$ payout limit no more sells !!!

Yes, this is true!

Almost 1000 pics in portfolio, last few months nice sells (for CS) until reached 40 $.
Now finito, null, zero !
I upload every week, normal sales on other sites, on CS nada, niente, zero.

Upsss

I think your problem is simply this : a watched pot never boils

I'm sure the OP will eventually reach payout. For me Microstock offers a good opportunity to practice what Kipling says in his poem "If", "If you can meet with great sales and lack of sales and treat those two impostors just the same . . . . you'll be a Man." (slightly paraphrased version)

I'm actually quite pleased with sales at Canstock.  I added 7 or 8 new sites this year to make up for losses elsewhere and other than Alamy where I love the big sales the only 2 that are producing  a regular payout are Canstock and Deposit photos.  They are both already up with 123rf and BS.  STockfresh, cutcaster, panthermedia, zoonar and GL are having very sporadic sales so I only upload to the ones where it is easy.

    I   have  just  my  one  sale  for  9.73.  Was  hoping  more  sales  would  come.  Quess  i'll  just  have  to  be  patient  because  when  i'm  not  looking  or  involved  in  other  things  that's  when  most  of  my  sales  come  (lthough  on  other  sites)  but  CS  is  no  different.
I've  read  this  elsewhere  "A  watch  pot  never  boils"  -  ("A  watch  port  never  sales"  -/-  added  by  me)
Good  advice  for  me.
