From time to time I am getting subscription sales. Like a couple per month. Still better than Yay

But worse than Crestock.

400 files online

17 sales total (14 sub - 3 regular) 9 in April.

As a buyer, I've purchased 23 in April for use on web projects. Cleanest / easiest site for buyers AND sellers...As FD said, they put their $$$ upfront so I'll hang out...

> 500 online, got 4 subs first month, zip after that. I did/do not expect anything from them, got my bonus, will wait holding period and remove (unless they prove they are not a regular bubble)
Congratulations to your sales!

Can I ask you something? What is the reason for deleting images after they don’t sell? I mean it in general not just on DepositPhotos. Now and then I read someone saying that he/she will delete all his/her pictures if they don’t sell. Why? For what can be that good for? If you spended some time by uploading, categorizing etc. why to delete them? Maybe they will not sell maybe they will. But as long as images are there, than there are still some chances, but if you delete them, than all chances to sell them are lost. It is better something (even possible/theoretical something ), than nothing. Isn’t it

But never mind as I sayed before I am just hobby photographer, not "Big Stock Picture Factory" like skilled MicroStockers here. I take it mostly as hobby/fun and I am very happy from every sale.

During years I deleted some of my pictures from my portfolios too, but that was mostly for reason that I wasn’t satisfied with their quality any more – those were old photos that I shot many years ago.

re your ques to UG: I'm on a handful of micros now, since I left sites my small port didn't do much on. I don't like the idea of having images for sale somewhere I'm not getting payouts, esp. after a year+; plus it makes it easier to have some exclusive images where I actually get payouts.

1st sale a couple of days ago after 7 months submitting. $0.30 on a sub, woo hoo I think I'll buy a..a..a what can you buy for $0.30? But a sale is a sale and hopefully a sign of things to come.

hi all, i got a returned sales of -$0.30, it means it deducted my only subs sales and back to $0 now.

i wonder what is that? someone returned my images because they don't like it after bought it?

I am sorry to hear that… I never heard it happened on DP before. It can be whatever – email support and we will see… Noone here can give you exact answer.

ceeker · « **Reply #136 on:** July 26, 2010, 17:51 »

I uploaded 250 photos there in Feb this year and have been adding when I get a chance since then. Now up to 420.

Sales have been relatively consistent (numbers in downloads):

March: 17
April: 30
May: 22
June: 27

Will keep adding images and see if it grows...

gubh83 · « **Reply #137 on:** July 26, 2010, 18:00 »

Since February:

Portfolio: 688
Sales: 92

All 0.30$ subs or 0.24$ SMS sales

mtkang · « **Reply #138 on:** August 18, 2010, 01:43 »

any improvement on sales? i notice there are credits plan instead of subscription plan that will pay more for images, anyone getting credits sales?

for subscription sales, does it match something like shutterstock?

sharpshot · « **Reply #139 on:** August 18, 2010, 02:19 »

^^^ Nothing like shutterstock, I did get a credit sale recently. They are doing quite well for a new site but I only really uploaded because they paid a bonus.

sobm · « **Reply #140 on:** August 18, 2010, 02:38 »

I finally got my first sale after nearly half a year...................................

donding · « **Reply #141 on:** August 18, 2010, 11:19 »

I get a sell every now and then. Not a lot but I do get a random sell every now and then. What I mainly get are subscription sales. I've had a couple of credit sales and only one SMS sale. The ones that have sold are mainly the same ones over and over.

fljac · « **Reply #142 on:** August 18, 2010, 11:32 »

two small subs within the first week after approval of my application... Then relatively quied, judging by the number of views

Szakaly · « **Reply #143 on:** August 18, 2010, 12:55 »

I had yesterday 4 sms sales - but in total not too great at the moment. Keep fingers cross that the summer is over soon

jareso · « **Reply #144 on:** October 04, 2010, 12:12 »

My eight and ninth sale happened just now, one after another.

The Tatra Mountains in Summer 10/04/10 | Size: L | Subscription $0.30
Waterfall in Kvacianska Valley 10/04/10 | Size: L | Subscription $0.30

My portfolio size is 307 files online. I started uploading my files there in March this year.

emirs · « **Reply #145 on:** October 05, 2010, 01:07 »

online files: 350 and sold files: 24 in two months. i think they'll be better soon...

Phil · « **Reply #146 on:** October 05, 2010, 01:23 »

averaging 1-2 sales a day, about 80-85% are subs. credit sales have all been between $0.44 and $2.64 for my cut

mtkang · « **Reply #147 on:** November 14, 2010, 08:03 »

DP seems very low traffic? low views and low sales and all the sales i got is 0.30.

I try to check out the commission faq..

http://submit.depositphotos.com/pages/seller-price

If you're a photographer or an illustrator looking to make money on your work, you've come to the right place. DepositPhotos.com is the internet's highest paying photostock website you'll find!

why they claim they are the highest paying photostock website? while every sale is 0.30..once a while.

maigi · « **Reply #148 on:** November 14, 2010, 08:36 »

I calculated my average revenue and decided that I won't license my images under $0.50 any more. $0.29 was insultingly small average price. I deleted my images on Deposit Photos. Though I love the site environment. It's a beautiful site.
My one and only exception under $0.50 ($0.45 to be precise) is Shutterstock because of the volume.

2 sales, one of them by subscription, I'm member since 2 months ago
