Subscriptions? Yes, thank you!     posted on 29th of may, 2008

Sometimes I happen to read posts on the Message Boards talking about subscriptions and the disappointment of seeing your own image sold at only 0.30$ or 0.36$. I always consider every sale with satisfaction, like a personal success – my picture was chosen among 3.000.000 of images online! From this point of view it doesn’t matter if it’s a “normal” sale or a subscription.

I sold many images via subscription and I want to point out the usefulness of these sales with an example.

This illustration is online from 23rd of November 2007. It became level 2 the 14th of April 2008 thanks to subscriptions too. From then I sold it 7 times:

 

 

16th of April 1.20$

17th of April 1.20$

23rd of April 3.00$

25th of April 1.80$

29th of April 1.80$

6th of May 0.36$

20th of May 1.80$

So... The “moral” ;-) is: subscriptions are useful also to reach a higher image level, and consequently more sales and more earnings...

Bye, Rob.

Now that is a very common sense, optimistic attitude and you are to be
commended for pointing it out to those who are less favorable to
subscriptions - every sale is one more opportunity for success!

I Agree.... only 0,30.... but with ENORMOUS satisfaction!! Someone takes OUR images among MILLIONS of images! that's great!

in Italy we say that "tutto fa brodo"... you may translate it as " Everything is good" :-)
