A few months now.

That's not good, with a portfolio as good as yours I would have hoped you'd of at least had a couple.

@azurelaroux  just shoot me an email at john at cutcaster.com and I will figure that out.

Great news, well done. Would you mind sharing the important details?

Well, I just spent 15 minutes writing the most beautiful ( ) reply on this topic. I accidentally hit a button somewhere on the screen and went into never-never-land. And it was really good! Can't remember it all now, so this will be a shortened version.

I joined CC at the very beginning. Was very excited about being on the ground floor. John is absolutely incredible. He's the nicest guy in the world to work with. And he ALWAYS responded almost immediately to any emails with more courtesy, consideration, and professionalism than you'll find with any of the other sites.

My complaint is not with John, though. My problem has been very, VERY low to no views. I have had one $5 sale since the very beginning. I've talked about this with John many times, and he's always trying to find ways to get the images seen more. But it just hasn't worked for me. I finally stopped uploading. No matter how easy the process is, it just doesn't make sense to spend the time uploading to a site where your images never get viewed.

I told John I'd give it a year, and I'm almost there now. I know I won't close my account, but will probably just leave them there "just in case". Maybe from time to time an image of mine will find its way to someone who likes it enough to purchase. And maybe one day those sales will add up to a payout for me.

In the meantime, I am very happy for all of you who ARE having success with CC. John has worked his butt off getting this company going, and I hope that it is very successful for him. Better yet, I'd love to see things turn around so much that others like me will regain some confidence in CC and start uploading again. Good luck, John!

I also have had no sales at CC BUT! I have only been at it a month with John and have a port of some 600 images, when I first started, John sent me an email welcoming me and asking a bit about myself, I was floored by this as stocks just don't take the time to do that, he has communicated again with me and once again it was chatty and genuine conversation.

John does have a very large hill to climb, his task will be easier if he has an inventory of good quality images, so I for one will continue to upload to him after all the system of upload is not a lot of work especially if you keyword off site.

This is one stock agency I would like to see fly, not just because I have images there but I believe his model is equitable for contributors and buyers alike.

I think some of my older images are now seeing about 3 views which does not make me believe I will get sales any time soon, but who knows you have to be in it to win it.

Well done John

I have no sale on CC with my cca 400 images, BUT I will continue to upload because stock market system of trade (bid,ask) is future for microstock...

I've had several sales at CC.  I think I got lucky and found a Niche.  All my sales have been motocross racing and mostly vintage.  They are editorial. 

I did help John.  I've referred several of my buyers to him.  That has included buyers for book publishers and magazine editors.  I sometimes wonder if that was foolish.  I could have kept everything.  BUT... if John catches on with these buyers, we all profit in the end.  John can sell our images for more than we get across the general microstock industry.  At least, mine sold for more than microstock.

PS:  I have CutCaster sales pending for next week.

No bids, Jerry.  The subject and editor are meeting on April 7 to select "which" images to use.

Thanks for the reply, Warren. Wish you the best.

Select "My Studio" then click on the "Downloads" tab.  Your views and downloads will be listed under each image.

I have to say, I am quite impressed. I sent 20 photos few days ago, the same photos I sent to Zymmetrical, all of them approved on both sites. However, in just a matter of days, I got first sale at Cutcaster, this one. Very nice! I'm off to upload some more content now.
