I use only English words and I also have few views and no sales. Even though many of my images marked as recommended...

Update 17-Jun: I made my first sale today

Took me a couple of months, and my portfolio is still small (<50 pics)

im calling it quits there. no sales in like three or four months, they keep cutting me down to two uploads a day and its too hard for me to remember to keep submitting, not to mention its slow and time consuming.

Hmmm... rainy day ... I guess I can take a break with them. It is not going to rain here until ... October.

I have had some good success with PantherMedia, I have 190 images online, no uploading restrictions, have an 85% acceptance rate. My sales for such a low portfolio size are 6 downloads, the smallest I have earned per download is 4.47 euro and the largest per download is 24.95 euro.

I have already applied for my first payout, beating other sites performance such as everyones favourite Lucky Oliver and Snapvillage. So I suggest it is in your own hands to produce better stock images, not only in quality but content. This market is getting competitive and only by constantly improving your skills will you be assured of success.

Here is my referral link to PantherMedia for anyone brave enough to give them a try.

Amen. My mistake was that I uploaded older stuff - images that aren't up to par with what I'm producing now. Now that I have 400 in the ftp cue, some good and some crappy - I don't necessarily want to delete all of them and start over. You can only go in the order they give you too - one at a time. Too bad you can't browse through the folder, and delete at will. I'll be uploading 2 at a time for a while, until I can get back up to less than 30% rejections.

I stopped uploading to PM after having 50-60 online. A few days ago, I got an email notification of another sale. I was pleasantly surprised. I am uploading again.

Nice! I'm almost at the point where I've gained back my full uploading privileges. Sloooowly working my way back up to 30% or lower rejection rate.

I hit payout just after midnight on the last day of June - I think it was a referral sale or something. It just pushed my over the payout limit. Now I think I have to wait until the first few weeks in August to get paid ... kind of dumb, but whatever.

Payout? That's awesome! Congrats!

By the way, I haven't been paying attention to PM for a few months so wonder what the payout limit is. I don't think I can ask for a payout because my sales were small.

I uploaded 20 something in one day and didn't noitce any restrictions. What is the uploading limit?
