As you may know I am a contributor to Clipartof.com as are other members on this forum.

This site is pro-artist (The others that offer 25¢ a download are just a ripoff in my opinion) so I wish to assist them.

I need to help promote them. They are a low budget. hence the Google ads on the site. (I'd rather them have those than take a higher percentage of my sales)

They don't have an affiliation program...yet and they don't promote with Google ads. (Again these options would cut into artists percentages.)

Any Ideas??? How can we promote this site?

Cheers Dennis

dude, you really need to know what you are talking about before you write something like that in a mircostock forum!! first that .25 site you are talking about does .25 to $28. Do you have any idea how many downloads one person can get each day on there. Alot 100+ easy and some people make a 1000 downloads each day. not for .25 but for much much more!! you need a little more respect for this trade. If you want to catch flies use honey not this stuff. I'm on clipartof and you need to stop pulling it by attacking mircostock.

I said it was "my opinion"..... Your opinion is your opinion.

I'm not ranting about the negatives or positives about microstock sites here am I?

If you don't want to reply to the question in the thread I asked instead of crying for your mate that's your option I guess.

I hope you and your emailing friends would start read the actual threads instead of just wanting to attack me.

You're a member of Clipartof....you'd think you'd want to help bring in traffic to sell your stuff rather than asking me to stop.

you really have no clue

well goodluck!!

you are very fast! you'll reach 20,000 in no time

A good rule of thumb is to have holiday images up at least 8 weeks before to let designers and scrapers time to plan and do projects for those holidays!

Yes, I did them on the weekend. I'd let Jamie know in advace they where coming. Being similar helped with the upload time.

I guess that's why I heard they can't take any more contributors right now, due to an enormous backlog.

I only joined them a few months ago and being Australian (Father's day is in September)
I was not up on all the holidays.

sadly I was told it would be a month for uploads its been a couple weeks but I'm happy to see you got up maybe things are starting to move along

Dennis Holmes · « **Reply #14 on:** June 14, 2009, 01:32 »

Like I said it's because I did them similar and gave notice they where coming.

my buddy told me about 18-20 months ago

now he makes a sweet referral money

Dennis Holmes · « **Reply #20 on:** June 14, 2009, 02:22 »

Cool. Any ideas on promoting?

Dennis Holmes · « **Reply #21 on:** June 14, 2009, 03:34 »

I know there is a group on this forum that are .... annoyed that I opened the door for other artists to Clipartof here. I've explained my reasons elsewhere and I'm not going over it again.

(if you do want to say anything negative to me please email me and don't take it up on this thread)

I know there are also artists here that are grateful I did.

I'm now asking both groups to help me promote the site to get more visitors.
The more visitors the more sales for all.

Please do what you do well and be creative with ideas on how we can do this.

I'm thinking if it's all worth .......sofar no sales for me, new uploads are still pending,I see a lot of new artists with a empty portfolio......
I know it's hard work for Jamie and crew I was glad that they accept me in to the agency but now it makes me wonder if it was the best step to make ......

@ Dennis it looks if your sales was dropping because so many new artists steel your DL......LOL
I know you have your best intentions but you look to eager.....
