I uploaded 90 pics last week and they have just gone on with one rejection today. So far today, I have sold 38 pictures!!!!! And it seems to be rising all the time!!! I think one person is downloading them all as I only have one with 2 DL´s....Could be a good week!!!!!

...and the kids can eat....

Yours happily,

Nick

Also I might add that there is a 25 pre day limit on clients accounts,so there is definitley more than one downloading from your gallery......

Oh I see, that is interesting and encouraging...I thought that if it was just one, it may be a fluke...thanks for that Rodehi.

Lots of my images get downloaded only once a day even if I get a 50 day download. Maybe 1 or 2 images are downloaded twice. There was 3 or 4 days where a couple of photos were downloaded like 5 or 6 times, I couldn't believe it.
I have always been trying to work out hoy many suscribes SS has and it would be interested what has been the most downloads for a particular image on a single day, for me its 7.

You have some images in your gallery ....... was just looking at it.
Anyway, I mentioned the most downloaded in a day just to try and have a guess on how many suscribers there are at one time. I Suppose if there is an image good enough it could have 11 or 12 in a day and maybe half the suscribers downloaded it ? dunno.

freefly your pics are so crisp, clean, and stock oriented no wonder they were downloaded quickly. Even on some high paying sites I could not find pics of that quality.

Thanks for the compliments, very kind. Just hope I can keep producing the goods. Moving away from sunny Spain soon after 7 years and back to the UK. From 8 months a year sun to 8 weeks if we are lucky.

Oh well, best make hay and all that!

Thanks again,

Nick
