I had a few sales and I do notice a pattern… Sales seem to come in 2-3 days after a new upload. Without uploading new images, I don’t get any sales. Mhh… will further test this but all of the following sales listed in this article followed this pattern:

Ok, this NEVER happened before. Karma seems to like me… a few hours after posting My EyeEm Sales in January 2021, I had two more sales of the same photo!
It only earned me a total of 0.52$ but hey, better than nothing. It definitely was a nice surprise and I am eagerly awaiting Copytrack to find the website that bought and uses it 🙂
So, January 2021 was probably one of my best months I have ever had on EyeEm. Why is that?
I do have my own little theory – that is ONLY a THEORY! Maybe, just maybe many EyeEm users did delete their photos and/Uor accounts (die to the reduced earnings starting February 2021) and therefore we face less competition now. What do you think, would this make sense?
Early post about January earnings because there will probably not be any more earning news coming in the next two days.
EyeEm will change their earning structure in February and we will probably earn less. The three sales I had in January are also quite… “funny”.
“Web License” is a sale directly on EyeEm as far as I know. The amount is ok for a floral photo.
The Partner License from Getty Images is a joke. My husband already said he does not understand why I want our photos to be sold on Getty. And to be honest, I don’t know anymore either…
Yeah, some more Redbubble Sales in December 2020 right before Christmas. I must admit it seems to get better and better – ever so slightly – from year to year. Not really paying well yet, but a few extra cents and uploading / creating products is fast. You just need to get a foot into a niche. A little spoiler: I had already 4 sales in January but that will be part of next month’s blog post 😉
Cafepress was not one of my big earners for 2020 with a few months of zero sales. But December was rather good compared to the rest of the Cafepress year.
I could sell a few packs of greeting cards and some other products:
