MicrostockGroup

Well they are last among the 7 sites I submit to - and a long way from number 6.  I just had my third 0 dl month in 18 months with them (only other site where that has happened for me is LuckyOliver) and have never had more than 3 dls in a month there.  I am just waiting to reach payout so I can leave - don't like their 90 day lock in policy.  (DT's six month policy is worse but at least I get a few bucks every month off of DT).  fred

I do not see how anyone could have a zero DL month with BigStock unless they have a handfull of images. You do not have a link to your BigStock port so there is no way I could take a look and possibly guess at the problem.

I had 2 dls my first few days on BigStock 2 1/2 years ago with 6 or 7 images.
The last two years I have 30-60 DLs a month with 2,000+ images.

BigStock deserves to be in the Big 6, the owners are very responsive.
Although the sales sort of mystify me, as my sales are coming in from my oldest stuff. Maybe it's the way of the buyers, which sort of explained why BigStock reminded me how important it is for them to expect a 90 day agreement .
I 've no complaints really, except for the occasional soft rejections... "images cut off do not sell well, thanks". 
i wish BigStock well for 2009

Glad to see it.  BigStock has always been a better earner for me than 123RF.  Besides, no subs and smaller payouts.  Love them.

I just voted and they are no longer in big6 cause I got excellent month on 123rf :-)

Very good news!  They've been in my big 6 all along

Congratulations Tim and Dawn!!

BigStock has always been one of my favourites.

I really do not understand how some people can do so well on BigStock. I earned there less than 0.4% of my microstock income last month. And BigStock allways was consistently under 1% of  monthly earnings. 123 Rf is about twice as good and struggles just to get over the 1%. To both of them I uploaded until 2-3 month ago my best work, but my hopes that they will finally give me a decent return are dwindling and so my motivation to upload my work to them. To me it seems there are only the big five agencies and there seems to be a huge gap between the 5th best agency and the 6th.

BigStock was really galloping for me a few months back, but now it's just a modest trot!
Hope things will pick up in 2009.

I like BigStock always have, I make regular payouts there but nothing compared to some of the others, however I don't expect them to be anywhere near the others, the way you are treated as a contributor is much better than some other sites so I'll continue to give them my support.

The site I'm really disappointed with is 123RF, for the first time in well over a year I didn't make payout last month and have noticed a steady decline recently, I also submit to the parent company Inmagine and having spoken to some others who also submit there we've all reported a lack of sales.
Will they be the next to go or be bought out - wouldn't surprise me.

hang tight, as i said, strangely enough BigStock sales (at least,for me) come slowly...
almost 3 to 4 months after UL. even now, my dLs are mostly from images i submitted almost 5,6, 7 months ago.

I pulled out of BigStock a few months ago. Sales were VERY few and far between. Waiting months and months to even reach their modest payout
