we are definitely a global economy , no doubt. i notice lots of you from europe, and asia. but what many of us may not notice is the hidden benefits of being part of the "foreign exchange".
eg. a commission from ScanStock of 1 EURO is definitely more to us "americans" than 25 cents from IStock.
sure, i read that IS has more buyers, but we are talking about 1.56 vs 0.25
for one download. 
i also noticed that "euros" seem to do much better here, and perharps, vice versa with euro sites for us americans.
by americans, i include canada, usa, brazil, latin am,... as i know many of you come from s . am, and c. am.
so, here's my topic for this thread: 
what's your benefit for being the "foreigner" ?
is our grass much greener on this side of the world?
 

My benefit of being a foreigner is that I don't have to live in America...

Since my earnings are from sales and licences from abroad my country does not charge me income tax... So the whole 100% remains in my pockets... And from here, to deposit in a Bahamas bank is like going to a local bank, with very tight banking secrecy... And I don´t get charged for depositing american checks in my local account... I really love to be here...

We in Australia at the moment are benefiting from the AUD US$ exchange rate if we are buying stuff. Currently we nearly have parity with the US$ which makes purchasing camera gear almost half the price it was a few years ago.

Once I have my 5D, Bowens studio set up, a 24-105L and a 85MM f1.2L the money I make from microstock will be revenue.

I will - except for the sites that automatically payout - be banking my sales with the agency until such time as the AUD US$ gets some value back.
