Do you have images accepted by Getty, which had delivered there by Zoonar? I have got some images in Zoonar, which said: "This picture has been accepted and is now availiable in Getty images". When I check Getty site, I cant find these pictures? Dont know what to think... Is this partnership is real?

If I remember right, when referring to "Getty images", they actually mean Thinkstock.
So, sadly, no backdoor to Getty

Contributors are tricked with the Getty name. Your images will ONLY go to their low budged sites like Thinkstock and possibly Photos.com. They will sell your images for a subscription commission of $0.28 for which you will receive 50% ($0.14) through Zoonar. Are you willing to sell your images for $0.14? I suggest you opt out of this very bad deal with Getty.

That explains the average of one euro I get from Getty though Zoonar a month. On the other hand, photos delivered by Zoonar to Age gives me a very reasonable income - about double I get from Shutterstock with half the number of photos.

Here`s the original text from Zoonar partner management. These are your terms of trade for every submission via Zoonar...

"Getty Images is probably the best known global picture agency. You can submit RF photos of all price ranges to Getty Images. Your photos will be distributed via the Getty platforms Jupiterimages, Thinkstock and Photolibrary, perhaps via Photos.com too. Photolibrary was acquired by Getty Images in 2011, but still sells photos in the Asian market.

Getty Images generates very high sales numbers. Therefore, we strongly recommend you accept this partner. Some photos on Photolibrary and Jupiterimages are sold at very high prices. However, the majority of photos are sold via subscription at low prices and in large numbers. WE CAN ONLY CREDIT THESE SALES AS AN AGGREGATE SUM. By accepting these terms and conditions you also agree that Zoonar will credit all sales through Getty as an aggregate sum to your account."

I upload directly to Agefotostock. It is possible and easy.

I never bother uploading or even looking at zooonar anymore as I get so few dls but just went in and had a look to find that I had a sale this month for over 40$. It doubled my last 6 months earnings.

I upload directly to Agefotostock. It is possible and easy. You must send a letter/no e-mail/ to Spain or USA, where is situated Age, in which you have to tell what kind of contributor u want to be/exclusive or non-exclusive and copy of your id document and sign contract.

I don't believe there's any way to upload to ThinkStock. It only picks up from other places. Jupiterimages and Photolibrary are those places.

Don't believe me, write to ThinkStock and ask how to get an account and upload files. Come back with their answer.

Nice to know it's not really Getty. Any other 'surprises' over at Zoonar. Not that there are too many sales in the first place.
