I got my first $5 sale. I think we all deserve $5 per download. $5 is a very small amount. And I think that even LO owners made a profit ...

Hope to have one of these very soon also. I still opt out for sub at StockXpert btw

I had just my first one too. Is it a enhanced license? or just big size credit sale?

Big size, I believe. I had one in April too.

Yowza!

My sales at StockXpert are very very poor, so when I got one of those yesterday I couldn't believe it either... I had to dig around a bit to find out what it was for.

Boy, just a few of those a month could really make StockXpert a good earner.

I also had a $5 sale this week. My biggest sale ever. Anywhere. I like $5 sales, with the exchange rate I multiply my $ income by 8X.

This is why vectors are your friend.

Any vector sale is a $5 commission, and the tend to sell pretty well at StockXpert. I sell 4-5 vectors a day there.

Ditto Pix, but this week has been a nice turn.

I too got a $5 sale today. I have had a couple $7.50 ones already though.

hello all,
my first post here.

I got today 25 subscription downloads 0.30 each in total of $7.5 on Stockxpert.

This is why I hate subscription downloads 0.10 - 0.30 per image on StockXpert, DT, IS or SS...
Of course, it's my choice to upload, rejoice and be thankful for that. But time is going and amount of money I was happy with 3 years ago is a nonsense today, as images' quality grows, sizes grows, skills grows etc... (and maybe appetite grows...)

Maybe your 25 are from the same buyer using up their daily credits so are you lucky that you sold 25 or unlucky that you sold 25? Maybe you will be super lucky when they come back to buy a special license for one or two of the photos.

But I do have to agree that full sized subs just suck.

My sales at StockXpert are just pathetic, they got even worse when I opted from of subs, now I'm opted back - so I when I noticed 5 sub sales on Monday it kinda irked me ... but then I noticed that they were all of the same subject matter and I realized that it just HAD to be the same buyer. So - perhaps I'm lucky I got more than one. I don't know. At least 4 of 5 were for M size. When you get a $5 sale on the same site the next day for one photo with the same usage rights it just boggles the mind.

I agree with you according the fact that full sized images sold for 20 cents- in general, not only on some particular agency. But this is the market we all made. We spoiled buyers by letting them buy our photos for pennies. I'm thinking more and more about opting out all subscriptions but after a tons of downloads and some nice money I stopped again.

And yes- noticed that several times on different agencies: two downloads same day of the same image- one for 25 cents and other for $3...

I'm sure it was the same buyer who just spend his sub downloads. And of course, I'm happy for that. On other hand, I'm a bit angry with myself when my works "are worth" only pennies... But this is the kind of "don't sell if you don't like"...
