Author Topic: 1 million directly uploaded photos at Pixmac (Read 12596 times)

Hi Everyone!

Today we've reached 1 million photos directly uploaded at Pixmac. Sure, it's not a big deal compared to other agencies. For us it's an important milestone and a proof that we attract contributors by sales. Rather than talking about how cool we are.

We've been mostly focusing on driving sales to the Pixmac site rather than being active in contributor focused marketing. We are also reselling photos from other micro agencies. So we could already be behind some of your earnings here and there. I hope that we all share the main target and that's generating revenue to each of you. That's what we're working on every day. 'Nothing else matters'

As it seems today, September is going to be BME in terms of contributors revenue. And I wanted to thank you all for support during these challenging times, when big agencies cut their commissions almost on a monthly basis.

How many from that 1 million were approved and are now available to buy? 50%?

Congrats Vita! Just speaking for myself, sales at PM have picked up a lot this month.

Any chance of getting a better stats page on the site? One that gives total earnings and sales #s for the month? Or maybe there is such a page and I just haven't found it. With sales being so good, it's getting very difficult adding them up manually.

I uploaded a lot but then deleted nearly all my portfolio. The problems with extremely low subs sales put me off. That was fixed but then there was the fall out with DT and other problems I have read about. I would really like to upload my portfolio but there's still something niggling me. As Pixmac doesn't even get in to the low earners, I don't think it's worth me uploading at the moment. Hopefully you will make me change my mind in the future.

Do you think they reach 1% of your income for the month yet? Trying to figure out if its worth my time.

They didn't last month, but they may this month. I will let you know in the stats thread for Sept.

Congrats for achievement, Vita! Keep the open minded attitude towards contributors and perhaps things will only flow in the good direction for Pixmac.
As far as I'm concerned, I have only good experience with them, they're great guys and always ready to help.

Would you please be so kind to delete my mailing address from your data.
I've never signed up and will never sigh up with Pixmac, so please, how did you get hold of my email address.?..

Last warning.

Thank you lisafx, Xalanx and shiyali. I'll do my best to even improve our approach.

And lisafx, sure you're not the only one asking for that :-) We have been working on the contributor backend for a while and this functionality is one of those crucial ones.

Btw. September really was the BME for Pixmac contributors. It would be amazing if sometimes in the future you'd be able to see sales generated by Pixmac in our partner agencies.
