Bryan 15,767 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Good news - a $204 lease popped in today Not so good news - it's a distributor sale, but still a reasonable return. Not seen any 3 fig sales for a while.... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They're scarcer than they used to be but still out there... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Agree John, the net income from my distributor sales is generally a good deal more rewarding than that from the newspaper scheme, and blows some recent NU sales out of the water. I may withdraw from NU this coming year. Trick is to remember to do it when the time comes! Good to see occasional straight $200 leases still to be had. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I'd be shooting myself in the foot -- and I only have one foot left metaphorically speaking -- if I opted out of distribution. The recent $$$ sale that I mentioned was actually $199.99, so I took the liberty of rounding up. I kicked the NU habit a long time ago. Link to post Share on other sites

Still it's good to see some healthy numbers. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Julie Edwards 410 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yesterday ticked over with another 11 sales, tipping the balance making this year my best year ever for both income and license count ever with 2 months left ... (ok , I only started there in 2009, after the heady years). Yes the average license value is down but the annual income is up without me doing anything extra compared to previous years... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Hunter 8 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Rather more modest positive here - this was the first Monday I've got the web uploader to work wihout a problem (although I have mastered the FTP route). Also got my 300th image up for sale today . 1 zoom so far so my CTR is a poor 0.4 and waiting for my first sale....... However from small acorns etc as I am staying positive! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
