Ive only had 15 goose eggs all year(approx 150 days).The problem is Im working on my fourth in a row.Is there a problem with my gallery or am I just having a really bad streak?........Ron

I started at SS on the 1st of Jan...and to date have had 11 days of no downloads.

I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Just a bad run, Ron...

Your stuff is good, just a slow week!

Ron -- it's the end of the month.
I had 4 in a row -- broke out with 3 DL today. First time I've had 3 in a while.
But seriously, I think there's often a lull at the end of the month -- at least it's been not uncommon for me -- then again, I do have lots of lulls -- and occasional bursts.
Ah well, gives me lots of time to spend in the forums, doesn't it?

Hang in there -- your gallery is great.

How's it going Ron?

Some sales?

I was fairly slowish for a week and then BOOM! Yesterday 32 Downloads

What a gift (ruined my stats for the month, but not really complaining :D )

Don't worry about it!!

Just 1 dl for the last day of the month,better than 0 I guess.May ended up with a 2/day avg compared to 3.5/day for april and 4.5/day for march.Hope my new batch will help.Nice last day of the month for you Sean......Hope June is good for all of us......Ron

I know I've been away in the States for a few days so have not been uploading, and I was expecting the end of month slump- but I have now set a new record for me of 15 zero days on the run!
That matches yours for the entire year rodehi!
I have some images up for review- hope that gives my site a kick start.

Sorry to hear that George but there is hope.Even with a goose egg to start June Ive rebounded to an average of 3+ a day,seems dl's are coming my way again.Hope it picks back up for you too.......Ron

June has started off pretty slow for me considering the number in my portfolio (944). Unfortunately I have been busy with projects that don't fall under the 'stock' umbrella so I haven't been able to upload anything for a while. It really has a negative effect here :(

Thanks for the reassurance.
Most of my images waiting for review have been accepted now, so I can only wait for the sales to re-start. I Know they will .
After slack periods in the past it has not only been my new images that sell, but many of my earlier shots and previously unsold ones as well. That gives me a special thrill.
For now it's back to the photoshop. Get some more images ready for uploading later in the week.

Sold One!
Zero's over for the time being.
The sale was not a new one. Been on site for over a month and has sold before. A Polling Station at our election. Not a very good photo in itself, but it is earning me money!!!!

Seems like I will get my first day without any sales in a long time. Last day I didn't sell any pictures were 14. of may. Can't complain about that

Woops, I pull that one back. Just got a sale...
