123RF in top tier forum section

[Wim]

Regular sales, easy upload, management that actually works (favorites) and most importantly, they take the time to support us in this forum!

They certainly are in my top four!

Very regular for me too. No sales in Sep and none in Oct either.

I think the top tier should be Shutterstock only, the rest are way behind now.  123RF is much less than 10% of my SS earnings.

123RF is my second place earner this month, slightly ahead of CanStock for third place, and Dreamstime in fourth.

Third for me close to Fotolia but still far away from  Shutterstock

[klsbear]

They're my #4 earner this month but miles ahead of FT when it comes to income.  123 gave me 3 times the earnings despite having one less DL than FT.

I guess it all depends on what each person calls earnings. 50 dollars a month might be huge for some and a complete waste of time for others. I don't know who Votes on the polls but...... I have to get a return Or I simply won't do it. I've been with no less than 29 Sites since 2004 and If I could get those hours back and put that time into something worthwhile I would be a happy camper.

Although it depends on msg members taking part, I don't yet know of a more accurate or regular poll of this kind. There is also the option of voting $0 for an agency which hasn't earned you anything, I assume this vote cast will still be added to the averages.

For me 123rf has been on a par with DT for the best part of a year. After ss, DT has always been my second highest earning agency with 123rf being a far 3rd. They now both earn about the same.

yes, the 0's are also averaged in.

Completely agree in general. But 123rf is one of the best sites regarding upload method: pictures go directly from FTP to approval Q and their payout is completely automatic, you don't even have to ask. So you can basically never login again to that site. There are lots of sites with unnecessarily time-wasting procedures but 123rf is NOT one of them.

in addition, they have the smartest system for editorial - if your image is not accepted as RF, you can have it automatically & immediately reviewed as editorial - much better than SS silly caption requirements and reviewers who dont know the differnece between editorial and newsworthy

it's difficult to get any editorials accepted at SS anymore, but  DT, 123 and others accept & sell those same images

4th again for me this month comfortably beating Fotolia by almost $100. If there is a top 4 they are definitely in it now, but for potential income I guess it's really a top 2 (IS and SS) followed by a pack of 3 (DT, FT, 123RF)
