Discusin en Espaol / Re: Se puede vivir de esto?
« on: July 03, 2014, 09:07 »
Yo creo que si se puede vivir bien de esto si encuentras un nicho en el que el costo de produccin sea suficientemente bajo y sea un tema que venda moderadamente bien.  Aunque hoy no creo que se pueda vivir de esto tan fcil como antes fue. Yo y 5 personas que trabajan conmigo llevamos viviendo de esto ya por 7 aos contribuyendo exclusivamente en iStock.  Este ao como dice luismmolina ha sido muy raro y negativo. iStock en particular est muy cambiante y cualquier cosa puede pasar.  A como veo si empiezas de cero es mejor probar en todos los sitios antes de probar la exclusividad en alguno.

Don't you think it is about time to start demanding fair compensation?

what % should Jon pay us? 50%?

Actually, he might be poor if he paid us that much because the company wouldn't be making a profit. They could always raise prices though. I guess that is a question to ask yourself. If a company can't afford to pay you 50% with their expenses, are they charging enough to their customers.

Well, I always wonder how apple app store can pay 70% to the developers and run a much bigger business than IS. Even vimeo's rate is 90%! They definitely have a bigger bandwidth demand etc etc. That makes the unattainable 45% IS royalty rate (and all the Microstock agencies rates) look a little bit unfair.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: Exclusives - how are your sales lately?
« on: April 24, 2014, 08:17 »
Last three weeks have been pretty low, about 35% less than normal for me, and about 50% less than last year. My sales over 7 years have been really steady (going up but steady). This is the first time that I'm getting a little nervous about the recently changes in IS.  But we have to wait and see the the april GI sales and the subscriptions earning at the end of the month.
