I'm new here and dreamstime, I confuse about "I am a photographer working exclusively with Dreamstime.com." after 1-2 year, if many photos 0 sale, Dreamstime ask me donate the buyer never download photos after 1 year accepted.

I don't know donate or disable is same?
After donate or disable photos, I still got 0.20cents upload bonus?
Dreamstime.com want me to get back 0.20cents upload bonus?
If not enough $100, Dreamstime.com minus directly of my total earnings?
That mean only success sale photos got 0.20cents upload bonus ?

Compared with exclusively and non-exclusively, example non-exclusively my total earnings $50; after exclusively $110.
If accept working exclusively, my total earnings automated $110? what you see is all you get?

After exclusively I can't sale photos or vector file via other stock agency, but I only sale and upload .mp4 movie file, .wav music file via istockphoto and original .max file via 3dexport(not render image to Dreamstime.com). Can or not?

Thanks for your answers.

If you choose to work exclusive with DT, this means you can NOT sell your work on other agencies. Even rejected images or other files you can not upload on other stock sites. The upload bonus of 0.2$ you will get for each approved image whether it sells or not. You earnings will not grow instantly as soon as you opt for exclusivity, you probably saw that virtually comparison of your last 50 sales as a non-exclusive versus how it were your sales if you were exclusive.
Hope this helps

Welcome here

It is easier next time if you ask one question per thread

Dreamstime also has an image exclusive deal where certain images are exclusive.   In that case you can upload other images to other agencies.

In addition, about your first question:
Are you asking if it is the same whether you set your old pictures to donate or disable?
If you select 'donate', you will give your photo's away for free in the free section of the website. If you set it to 'disable' it means as soon as the picture is old without sales, it will not be moved to the free section, but it will be deleted (disabled) from the database. The $0,20 is  not relevant there as you received it at the time when you uploaded the picture as exclusive.

I was exclusive with DT for almost a year, left my exclusive status last month.  You get much better placement in searches as exclusive and you will see better sales, roughly double what you would have earned as non-exclusive on DT.  It is not a bad option if you do not have a large portfolio or you are not full-time photographer.

As a non-exclusive; I now earn roughly three to five times my former income on DT; but it is a lot of fricken work to upload and manage 20 sites.

Thanks Artemis, That mean after working exclusively, Dreamstime.com ask donate, if want $0.20 just donate.
visceralimage, great wildlife photo! Thanks share your experience. Yes "better placement in searches", but also more is "n/a" after buyer search, maybe dreamstime try give every portfolio opportunity whatever working exclusively or not.
