Tomorrow is the big day! I cleared out a corner in my closet to stack the five dollar bills in. If it's too small I will just shove them under the bed until I can get to them. Good Luck everybody!

For those having trouble with the accept button. Check to see if you have a program such as Ghosterly running in the background. These programs help to protect you from hackers by disabling pop-up functions (such as accept buttons). If you do, click on the icon for your service and tell it to trust the Adobe site then reload the page.

StockFresh / Re: StockFresh is closing

Thank you for your feedback Jo Ann, very good advice. I guess I will be patient for a while hoping someone will do as you say buy another of my images using up their credits

My earnings are stuck at 49.40 at Stockfresh. Is it allowable for me to have my son purchase a photo to put me over the 50.00 limit

Shutterstock.com / Re: We are having some impact
« on: June 23, 2020, 15:18 »
I think there may be lots more contributors that haven't realized the impact of the cuts yet but after payout day will feel very angry. It has taken me two tries to accept the change. I disabled my port earlier, than waffled re-enabling it. The constant cheap sales angered me to the point of disabling it again hoping they go broke and Adobe picks up the slack.

I am unaware of any reason for your sales to increase and in fact think by the end of the month you may get trampled in the great angry rush to disable portfolios.

It's only a port of 1700 but now disabled.

Thank you for this. Now on my way to deactivate!!

On June 3 and June 4, ShutterStock surprised me with some on demand sales of 2.45. I was happy to see them but now think they were setting us up for astockphotographer088 to come in here and try getting us to do some early averages.

You do realize that the Shutterstock T&Cs forbids anyone from discussing their earnings?

(A) If you are referring to the paragraph 14 of SS T&C, then I'm pretty sure that RPD is not mentioned in the earnings data that Shutterstock provides to a contributor and asks to be undisclosed.
(B) Anyone is welcome to give some data and do so anonymously.
(C) We are not doing so with malicious intent towards any interested party, whether it's Shutterstock or it's contributors.
(D) We are not doing so in wide publicity, like in an article or blog, but rather in a closed "biome" that only stock photographers visit in order to educate themselves.
It sounds like "we" are Shutterstock employees paid to disrupt the conversations on MSG

When it hangs up on me, the donate bitcoin ad on the top has some xtra words including err.
Yeah - that really bugs me too.  I can't figure out how to get rid of that.  I don't see it on Chrome... just when I was using MSG on an android phone did I see it.


I don't see it on
PC - Firefox, Chrome
iPhone - Safari, Chrome

I did see it with
Android - I forget which browser...

I was seeing it with Chrome on a pc but now everything works great.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: December 2019 Royalty Stats report
« on: December 22, 2019, 21:26 »
Just received an email from Todayis20 saying stats were up. Checked on esp and had a very bad month. On Todayis20 July is the last month I have stats for. Am I not doing something right?
Are  you uploading each month's text file to TodayIs20? AFAICS you have to do that manually, it doesn't go and fetch your stats from iStock itself.

Thank you Sue. I must have done so earlier and forgot. Memories fading and forgetting. I'll try to do it proper now. Thanks again. (until next time when I will be asking again like it was a new thing)

Ok, THERE IS NO Royalty Stats report at this time.

are you bored? need friends?

Both! Just wanted to start early and beat the rush when everyone gets their last sour gift from Getty, for the year.

I looked on my iPhone, Getty Contributor app and it says, Jan 2017 - Dec 2019, Views Sales "Sales are not yet included for December", does it always show sales and views? Maybe that's nothing and I thought it was a something. Like earnings will be released today?

ps my top selling photo has no views and 137 sales with a note: This photo has been removed. Gotta love Getty for being as clear as mud. DM doesn't show what photo it was either.

In the app, tap the "photo removed" notice and it will show the title of the photo.

Do you see the Box On the right.?? thats where the Image your submitting goes> Hope that Helps. BUT... every site Now compared to every site when I Started 14 Years ago Is really........REALLY So amateur I can't even Believe it. Maybe the reason Not Many except newbies continue with this.So Sad when you Look Back.........Really.2005/2006 was a lot of fun. it really was.

I would re-evaluate your Hobby. I had 14 sites at the time. I have 3 Now.
You would be rejected for similars now. https://tinyurl.com/rbxxg6q

Just so I can keep my terminology right... Are you a stalker or a troll?

Thank you. I have been doing it all from my desktop so will check out the online site and try to learn the proper way to do it.

Your program keeps re-uploading photos that have already been accepted at various agencies. Dreamstime told me to quit spamming the database. Over the last week I keep checking the agencies and deleting new repeat submissions. Today I have to delete 46 files from 123rf. It's raising heck with my acceptation rate so I went into your program and deleted my sign-on info for all agencies. Hope that ends it.

I was uploading 9 or 10 each day to quite a few agencies with StockSubmitter and Canstock was on the list but they turned down every thing I sent. I got a total of 6 turned down on Adobe and 9 on Shutterstock out of 191 uploaded so far. I'm trying to hit 300 on Adobe before Dec 31 so everyone gets the new ones. :)  It is kind of nice to be working on photos again after a couple years dormant.

General Stock Discussion / Finally closed my Canstock account
« on: October 31, 2019, 17:37 »
I have always felt that I may as well stay with low earners just because my images are already on their sites but yesterday gave up on Canstock. They got tired of inspecting photos after ten or eleven years so started rejecting every photo I uploaded. Very frustrating and at the low sales rate I wont last long enough to receive a payout so I let them keep my 27 dollars.

22
I guess I need to read the article again. I thought it was all fictional speculation of the author. I don't remember reading anything from Microsoft or Adobe about a buyout.

23
Still see the Scots.

Diversity means a variety of things, people and ethnicity. It also includes diversity with the definition of the word.

Thank you Sean
