I see sometimes people saying how much downloads they have per month or per day.


Last one was Robhainer with 50 dl in 1 day for a portfolio of nearly 100 images

I have past 2300 images in my portfolio and have only a couple of dl/day no matter how much images I add per month. It never goes beyond.


Is this normal?

Rob has more then 100 images in his port.

I just went through the first 8 pages of your port and now go through the first few of Robs and tell me what the difference is.

His has more "Pop" and vibrant color, whereas yours have a flatter vintage color.

Try adding more color and Pop and see what happens.

+1 on Barry's comment and I would suggest you work on your keywording.There are images in your port even on the first page that have 6-7 keywords.Work on that and I'm sure your sales will go up

He probably meant 1000. And i think you're right about the color and pop.

And i think numbers don't mean anything when you have so many series with practically the same shot within a serie.

yes, rob has well over a 1000.But look, really look at his port. Good fresh Ideas, clarity of concept,Big color and pop, Lots of variety, great keywords which is more important than an Image and very clean work with good looking healthy skin tone Models.

I have a friend here, that has 560 Images that makes over $2,000 a month Just on this site. Not about How many My friend.
