3 years with DT (some stats)

posted on 29th of november, 2012

>Yesterday 3 years passed since my registration on DT. I have got some stats that could be of interest for others, so let me share some of my figures with you.

So, after 1st year I had 216 images online, 92 sales and revenue of $$160. For my second year I uploaded 257 images and earned $$940 with 580 sales. My third year gave me 563 sales, $$1380 and I uploaded 288 files. Totally, by the moment I have 651 images online (110 have been disabled by me for 3 years), 1163 sales and revenue of $$2480.

Analysing the figures above one can notice an interesting thing: in spite of growing portfolio number of sales stays at almost the same level (since beginning of 2011 it is approx. 45-50 sales per month). So, revenue grows only thanks to growing RPD (which is 2.33$ for my 3rd year). This means, on my opinion,...

	Posted by Daddiomanottawa on February 25, 2013 congrats on your success! on my first year anniversary a month ago, i had about 360 photos online and about $360 in sales. thus far my second year has given me another hundred and sales and i'm looking forward to a good or possibly even great year! (i'd really like to get an oly em5 or panny gh3). I found the first year was a tough haul with many rejections whilst i was learning and growing with photographic and microstock knowledge. I've managed to bump my dismal 30% acceptance rate to 55% now and hopefully it will climb. i agree with other comments here. Don't expect overnight, raging success and most of all don't give up. I almost did many times. it seems, from my limited experience, that if you keep at it...you'll get somewhere. Again, congrats to you and best of luck.
