54 images and one sale? what is wrong?
nothing, when you look at it the other way...
54 images among how many? milllllllllllions of images, and you get 1 sale.
I think you did well.

Congratulations!! Nice Picture!

Nice pics. The reason you have not sold any pictures yet is because no one wants what you have to sell at this time. The more pictures you get in your portfolio and the more diverse your portfolio becomes the more you will sell. I have pictures that have not had a sale for over almost a year all of a sudden sell because someone finally wanted wanted what I have to sell. You currently have a number of photos that are of the same subject matter. If someone is not currently looking for that subject your portfolio is effectively reduced by that number of photos. Also you have only been on this site for a short time, 2 months. I had one sale after 2 months and 1 more sale after 3 months. By the 4th month I was up to 2 sales per month. Now after I year I am pulling in 12 sales a month but I still have a long way to go.
Good luck.

The more you have online the more exposure and the more exposure the more sales.

Yes, don't lose heart ... I was beginning to think there must be really something wrong with my images because I didn't sell anything in the first couple of months (yes, months!) and then I sold 2 the next month and 4 this month. Very small beginnings, I know, but as everyone else says, it's obviously just a question of time and volume (& of course quality, which should also improve as we go along).

Your portfolio is great... You just need time and check that each image has the right words...

More than half your portfolio has been uploaded this month. It is early days and sales will come. You have some very good stuff, stuff that will sell !!! Just work on portfolio size, quality and idversity. I'm seeing a regular 2 - 4 sales a day since my portfolio went over the 400 mark. Keep up the good work and hang on in there. Your first $100 is all ways the slowest, mine took about 10 months where as now I made $100 in about the last 10 days. Good luck.
