First payment from PhotoDune...!

Hi..!

Another milestone reached last month, it was getting my first payment from PhotoDune, they are a very new agency in terms of stock photos but they have been selling digital goods in different marketplaces for 5 years, which means they have some clients and I am also feeling that :)

There are still some "issues" regarding PhotoDune such as improving the submission process (MR´s are very hard to handle but I guess I understood it now after months), the other issue is regarding royalties %, they are running on a very low rate, 25% and also EL´s are very cheap but there is a opt out option if you wish

After this small introduction about them, I have reached this milestone after 2 months and a few days (October 11 2011), I started with PhotoDune on the end of July (when they have openned it for all contributors beside the invited ones back in March 11)

I needed 58 sales to reach the 50$ (more exactly 50.15$), I had an EL also for 8.75$, the stats make PhotoDune a very cool agency, at least in terms of sales (everyday I am having sales) if they were giving a nicier % royalties it would be a very cool agency, will see how it goes...

PhotoDune have already more earnings (until today) than: Stockfresh, Featurepics, Crestock, Yaymicro, Graphicleftovers, Mostphotos, Pixmac, Alamy, 3dstudio, Scanstockphoto, Viscoimages, iRockstock, iSignstock

The picture on the beginning of this post was the lucky one, it got me to my first payment there, it is a studio isolation as you can see, it was done in December 2010 and was sold for 0.5$ (buyer spent 2$, the 25% comission!), they have until this milestone a RPD of 0.86$
