On the bright side, my zooms continue to improve and recently hit a best ever of 86 for the rolling month. A year ago they were half that. So hopefully sales will pick up soon to reflect the improving zooms. Taking a quick look at your portfolio I notice you don't have Latin names for quite a few of your animal images, eg crocodiles eagles and kangaroos on pg 10.

Charles Stirling Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 7 sold for a total of 383 with one just a bit over 100 and one a little tiny one which was a distributor sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely get a +1 for this, as it sent me scampering to go all Elder Pliny on my Giraffes and Parrots.

EDIT : Betty already advised me to do this, but I forgot It's all I've been doing this week, researching types of eagles, the various nuanced differences in giraffes, and I'm still none the wiser on some of my vulture shots. But, I've had some searches crop up using latin names so it does help. I don't know where I read it (probably here) but it obviously makes sense to add them.

First two pages of this month's views for me had 34 out of 40 search terms containing the Latin name (some just the genus). Most also had the cultivar as well. It's what the specialist buyers search for and you're missing a major trick if you leave the Latin name out. Edited to add that the views were sorted on # of results returned. low to high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
