Two sales after months of total drought.

I had the same situation. No sales since mid February until the end of July when a couple of sales popped in. I hope it´s getting better...

First thing in the morning when I´m home. And second... then I usually make a pint of good coffee. Then another...

I´ve been using a Lowepro backpack but it is wearing out so I bought a smaller shoulderbag. Usually when out to town I carry my Nikon with 18-140 zoom attatched in my hand. My fingers keep cramping after hours of carrying and I cannot hang my camera in my neck, it tends to give a heck of a neckpain. So I sit in the cafés and park benches a lot. In the nature I need more space for my macro lens and other stuff.

I saw it this morning. A couple of Finnish swear words helped so I was able to upload my photos after all.

Yes I know but I´ve been using my FTP for years now so I´m very used to it.

Right after posting that, it miraculously started working after a couple of tries and some swear words in Finnish.

I tried after a long while to upload some photos but I can´t. This is what I get: Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". Error: Could not connect to server Anyone else having the same... Pekka

I have no sales since mid February. I´m slowly removing photos from Alamy and not submitting any more. I lost my interest in this game.

No sales. I´m getting used to this. I do not expect sales anymore.

Exactly the same here. No sales and only a couple zooms since mid Feb. I´m not uploading anymore.

I had a lot of Sin Bin days in the beginnng but then I got the grip. There must be some Very Secret QC rank formula that will never be revealed. I´m quite happy with my 3 stars but not my sales and/or zooms. They tend to stop suddenly every now and then. This seems to be very obscured thing too...
