Bill Ragosta Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Good luck. I'm struggling to increase my inventory and to try to improve the quality. I'm just about to eclipse 700, which is a big deal for me. I'd like to try to add 200-300 more saleable, quality images before the end of this year and maybe thin some of the poor ones. Sadly, I have nowhere near your 23 sales, but I know that I've got nowhere to go but up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpole Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 keep plodding along Bill. I do like your collection on images. I have just booked myself on a a 2 day workshop to help with editing as i am self taught and no expert so hopefully that will filter through to more sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Ragosta Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yeah, me too. I know that I have a ton to learn about photography, but I truly enjoy sneaking around with a camera in hand (I'm a nature photographer for the most part, no cracks about being creepy or a stalker please). What I don't like is the editing and all of the logistical stuff dealing with file management, uploads, etc. etc.. To me it's boring and it gives me a headache. I'm probably going to be transitioning into retirement over the next 5 years or so and hopefully I'll have a different perspective when I have a bit more time. I am truly grateful for the helpfulness of the people on this forum who have helped me with multiple issues lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Elliott Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Southpole, are you actually in Salisbury? My Dad lives there and I often visit. In fact, it's likely I am in Salisbury during the 2nd week or so of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreign Export Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Well done I've just reached a milestone which I'm pleased about too It's tough going but fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulstw Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I keyword as I walk, and if I can't I don't take a single shot. It's had quite a negative effect on the growth in my port of late. Plus the fact that I'm now shooting pro football for Sportpix (i'm pretty much knackered) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpole Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Foreign Expert I agree its a lot of work with little gain but it is fun i do enjoy photography and running a stock library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpole Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 GS-Images I think you have a good collection of images I am pushing myself to 3000 also. 50% of my sales have been news related in the right place at the right time I suppose. my CTR is very low at the moment with only 1 zoom this year my ranking is nothing to shout about very often don't my see what page my images are on as to far behind. . One thing I do though is look at ALL AlAMY and see what phase / word is being searched and then add that word to my collection if i have appropriate image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpole Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 I once came across a police incident didn't realise what was going on till later but 4 images sold .

Marvin McAbee Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I just went over 600 and hoping to get to 1000 later this year. I just retired from my job as a Network Technician last year and hope to put more time into stock. I hope to use my technical knowledge to produce some good stock about police voice and data communications,as I retired from the Highway Patrol. Just uploaded some on cell tower construction. I would also like to build a good selection from the Southeastern, US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
