Title: just wondering about the big "6"
Post by: elvinstar on February 25, 2010, 12:55
I am brand new to stock and thought I would submit to the big 6 listed on the right. I can't seem to find a way to upload to Stockxpert!

 ;) ;D ;)

Stockxpert folded recently, do a search and you will find all the unhappy details from other threads.

or are you pulling our legs . . . . .

I have been away too long, what is the plural of "pulling my leg"?

I'm not brand new to photography but I've been away too long. Do you guys know an easy way to prevent stained fingers when poking around in the developer fluid?

I was just giving Leaf a hard time. I was a submitter at Stockxpert from the beginning and just noticed that it was still listed in the big 6 on the right even though the site is gone.

I hope that I didn't offend anyone!  :o

I wonder what it will look like next month? Will Canstock be in the Big 6? That's seems a bit of a stretch. Or Veer in the Up and Comings? Personally, my list is really starting to diverge from what I see on the right of my screen.

Yeah, I think it would be a good idea to rename it the "big 4" and drop 123 into the "up and coming" and Canstock into the "low earners". (Sorry, Duncan, I like you but CS never delivered).

I think it should be the "Big 4"   One day it may be the BIG ONE. If that does happen then we'll probably make more money because they wouldn't have any other site to compete with and wouldn't pass up on the opportunity to raise prices.  ;D

I know it's only in our dreams.. :D

Also, for how many years can you be "up and coming"?  I really don't know how long some of these sites have been around.  If 123RF has been around for 3-4 years then the "coming" is misleading.  It has had its change to arrive but, at least for me, it hasn't.  Now Veer deserves the "coming" label.

Maybe it should be "Big 4" and "Little 6"

March Madness is nearly upon us; maybe it should be Final Four ;D ;D ;D

edit   being from the US, I'm not sure how that would translate in other parts of the world?   :-\

Just remove all break lines add numbers and you can see what exact position is for any agency. You can then freely call it big 4, 7 or 10 :-)

I always found developing a print the best way to remember the paper cut you got the day before .... ahhhhh feel the burn  ;D

agree

Or Big 2?  ;)

Maybe someone else had a good idea, since Leaf is going be making changes. Why not just leave them ranked, no lines? No big, no up, no comment, just the rank by number?

Plus section for 'going down'!

Based on all those red arrows, I'd have to say that such a section would be redundant.  ;D

Everything which is bigger than 10% of all you earnings to count on Big xx (4 in my case). Under 2% in New sites. Between 2 and 10% guess? Up and coming...

Why not down and going, or over the hill?  ;)

I know it's only in our dreams.. :D

till the day the BIG ONE (whichever it is) will decide it's more profitable to sell pizzas on the high street, and we are all unemployed

not in my dreams - I prefer pluralism, despite all the hassle to upload to many sites and all the competition

Or the Big 1 decides to pay us all $0.01 per download and we don't have any other options for microstock...

What's magic in 10%?  Look how your own percentage grouped, and see where split belongs (I believe it is different for everybody).
Big 6 always were really on different scales, and recently 'lighter' scale, at least for me, dropped out of big range, really making big 2,  "deciding where to go" 1, and all others - "down and going",

Pulling our collective leg, No, pulling our legs is fine.
I agree with BaldricksLegs, should be Big 4, as the other aren't even close. Could this be a record for the most amount of legs written in a post. Anyway, it's Friday night, I'm off out to get legless.
