I got a checque yesterday from 123royaltyfree, I didn't have to ask for it, beg for it, it just came.

This is my second from this site. The downside is that my sales have really gone down in the last 8 weeks from 123. Anyone else noticed the reduced sales there :?:

I have yet to try 123RF, I think its the next one on my list as seems to be an OK earner for some people.

However alot of the sites seem to have tempoary drops in sales from time to time, It probably ties in to times when they are less focused on their marketing strategies.

Sometimes it works the other way around, which is allways nice.

Have you stopped submitting pics to them? as this sometimes limits new people viewing your portfolio.

I still upload to them, but they link the 123 search results to other rf sites they own, so that buyers end up going off site & we are not represented on this other site.

Do your pictures not apear on the satellite sites like on shutterstock?

No Doug,

It's as though they have changed their mind on the subscription site & are using it as an intro to their other MEGA site

My sales are down 50% at 123. Most of my other sites have increased... My sales dropped only from Jan 06. I'm still uploading there but only after my other main sites.. Just want to keep my foot in the door. I can request payment but want to achive higher payout.

Nice going on your payment there :lol:

I guess i left the payout at the default setting of $100, so they send it automatically..........although the first payment took several emails requesting money

I upload to 123RF and have had some sales, however all the uploads I've made since christmas are still pending, it looks like they have stopped reviewing new submissions.

I had 10 accepted two days ago, they were waiting about a week in total. Sales are picking up a bit there too.

Im still considering joining them - I think i will wait until they decide what there going to focus on, I think with microstock now being such a competitive market, they will need to keep the marketing up or sales will quickly drop off.

BTW - Can we sign up to the mega site ?
