You're an inspiration, Ron. Meanwhile... back to the Yoaster.

Well, I thought this day would never come - someone registered and then immediately bought one of my photos of St Thomas. Only a smallish one at $3, but hey - its a start.

I did email the person to ask if everything went smoothly, but no response. I'm guessing/hoping that it did.

I've been a bit slow on adding new images recently, but a $3 sale is just what I needed to restart the process.... Wait - that is paying me about 10c an hour...

Seriously, I'm in this for the long haul and so will carry on!

Steve

Congratulations, nice shot!

Ok, I woke up this morning to my first sale as well. I assume it came in from the global search because I created and uploaded it a week ago. I haven't done any site maps yet and as far as I know no one has linked to my site. Pretty amazing actually. Thank you Leo and everyone else. I am pretty sure this is a sale I wouldn't have gotten without the networking aspect of Symbio.

Congratulations

Good to hear more people getting their first sales. If this keeps up, I may be swayed to jump into the SY pool.

DonLand · « **Reply #187 on:** August 29, 2013, 15:07 »

YAHOOOOOO.... FIRST SYMBIO SALE!!!! Came on the same day I hit SS .33¢ level!!!
Purchased medium size for $24.99.
Funniest thing was I tried to get this to upload with a model release on GI, photographers choice where I have a couple of free slots. Never got it uploaded because I could not get the model release linked!!! Finally pulled it and put it up on my Symbio site 7/29. Feels better than almost ANY (thousands of dollars sales excluded of course!!) stock sale I've ever made through an agency as I keep 100%!!! Thanks LEO!!!!

Awesomeness! Good job. It seems frequency of sales across the network is picking up.

Congratulations! Just think, this could have sold on getty as a premium access license at $1.25 to you.

steheap · « **Reply #192 on:** August 29, 2013, 15:44 »

Yes, great price for a dramatic image!! It knocks my $3 for a 1000 px image way over the boundary...

LOL... too funny. At first reading I thought you were saying a bad move by not putting it on GI, of course until I got to the $1.25 part!!!

Wonderful image! Congrats!

Thanks! It was for a 1000 px exclusive image. Years ago I would have never sold it for this "little" but in the current atmosphere of .18¢ sales to the artist this feels pretty darn good. I originally had everything set to 2x current prices, but decided to back it down to the current rates to see what happens.

You know what's funny is that I was being overly generous. I've had premium access licenses for far less than $1.25

Great shot and congrats again!

Redneck · « **Reply #197 on:** August 29, 2013, 15:59 »

Awesome! Congratulations! I'm happy for you.

Leo Blanchette · « **Reply #198 on:** August 29, 2013, 16:07 »

I think the network is getting more sales because of a lot of related (networking) factors. Basically the Symbiostock model works....even if it takes a little work.

I used this as an example...hope you do not mind

Back to work for me! Thanks for posting this.

DonLand · « **Reply #199 on:** August 29, 2013, 16:09 »

Thanks all for the compliments!

No problem Leo as it is all because of your foresightl!!!

With 1 sale it has beaten out all but 3 of my other agencies, and most handily, although to be fair, other than SS the others only have a token 100-300 images online so I could gauge their results.
SS is a different beast. I can go from 0 d/l's on a weekend to 30 d/l's during the week.
