I thought it might be nice and maybe motivating to mention recent sales in this thread.
So here we go, just sold on my own Symbiostock site: http://picturebreeze.com/stock/photos/image/young-couple-dancing-in-traditional-mexican-outfit-2/
Another sale, this time an RF Unlimited License on symzio.com.

Thanks, George. Very much appreciated.
Good stuff Redneck – customer found Symzio direct from Google. I don’t know what the search term was, but indicates that we’re doing something right with all the social media and cross linking.
I’m glad for symzio, too. It sure takes a lot of time but once you get the ball rolling, it will be successful. I have no doubts about it.
BTW, I still remember when I first started with the old Symbiostock theme. It took about 6 months until I got the first sale. Then the sales were coming in pretty regularly. Not huge but better than most of my traditional agencies.
Just saying that contributors need to be patient. Don’t expect instant results, that’s not how it works. Eventually sales will come.
So I just tried searching for an image on Google with these key words: commercial fishing boat tied dock
Second row of presented images: there was PictureBreeze watermarked image – right with Getty and Alamy images! Wowza!

That’s awesome but the client didn’t buy it on my site. He bought it on symzio.com.

Yes, totally agree, it’s very important to be realistic and understand that success doesn’t happen overnight. Congrats on the sale Redneck!
Site was up at the begining of this year and start to see sales.
1 in January for $20 ( http://bestcityscape.com/?product=ottawa-at-night-9 )
3 sales today including 1 extended ( http://bestcityscape.com/?product=seattle-24 ) and 2 regular ( http://bestcityscape.com/?product=boston-sunset-3 ) in total $115!
Cheers!
Thank you George. A big applause to symbiostock!
Congrats! Great images!
Fantastic buddy.
Thanks Andre!
Thank you Robin. Wish more people are encouraged to join symbiostock! Such an excellent business model.
I’ve been busy with lots of other stuff lately, but you are 100% right; each member would have to invest less effort with each new contributor that joined, simply for the link juice and increase in global footprint that benefits the entire network. Theoretically, if everyone passively created their independent sites and joined Symzio and did nothing else, we’d still see a great deal of sales.
So if nothing else, don’t hesitate to encourage peers to do it. It costs very little (hosting, domain) and is a promising business model that, unlike everything else right now, is future-proof.
Great news Songquan – it even made me buy the Symbiostock-Express theme. Not that I think the the theme it self will sell more of my images, it just makes it so much easier to set up a clear and logic shop, than is the case with e.g. the woocommerce theme I began with.
