General Stock Discussion / HELP ME stop the reselling or our videos and pictures !

« on: June 23, 2020, 07:29 »

I see that on Fiverr there are a lot of sellers that resell stock footage and pictures, that come from "all you can download" accounts, especially of storyblocks, but can come from any stock agency with low subscription plans.
We are all involved because they can access to yours and mine contents too.

I periodically make a search for them and report to the stock agency where they take the videos for the account to be banned and I report to fiver too.

some examples?
go to www.fiverr.com
and search for "videoblocks" , "storyblocks" or "stock footage" or "stock images"

not all are violating the terms because some are selling their own stock videos, but you can easily find the fake ones or contact them to investigate where they get the videos...

please help me to stop this behavior that is taking down our sales!

and beware to give your contents to an "all you can download" collections !

MicrostockSubmitter / Dreamstime and BigStock double keywords

« on: November 05, 2018, 18:53 »

Hi
in Dreamstime and BigStock the keywords are accepted only as single words.

So if we have for example the keyword "Hong Kong" it will be DELETED after uploading.

can you please add a feature to Stocksubmitter that will preserve the double keywords and will write them as 2 single words, during submission phase?

If I do it manually, I will add some more irrelevant keywords to all and that will make me lose ranking in the all the rest of agencies that accepts double keywords.

thanks

MicrostockSubmitter / Eyeem agency support

« on: November 05, 2018, 17:41 »

Hi
I ask your support to ask to Stocksubmitter developers the Eyeem agency support.

it can be interesting for everyone because It can sell a lot, more than the average of the agencies.

Now that istock is not supported anymore, this could be a workaround to compensate the uploads to Getty, because both istock and Eyeem resell on Getty what you upload into them.

Please support my request to raise some interest in the usage of this new agency in Stocksubmitter
Thanks

General Stock Discussion / www.eyeem.com new stock agency that sells a lot !!!

« on: May 23, 2017, 13:46 »

Eyeem.com is a new agency that now sell a lot of big licenses by Getty network.
you upload there and they resell on Getty for you big licenses from 2 to 65 usd !
(I got 130 usd in few time with only 300 pictures online )

but it's still not supported in StockSubmitter, and they Eyeem doesn't read metatags automatically, so its very time consuming uploading there !

Envato / PhotoDune acceptance rate

« on: December 22, 2015, 13:33 »

Hi
I see that acceptance rate of PhotoDune is very low, the lower than any other agency...

and It seems to me that they are refusing good pictures without any reasonable reason
and they have only 9 millions of pictures, performing very few sales too

is this happening to someone else ?

Pond5 / POND5 sale potential

« on: October 28, 2015, 18:51 »

Hi
I'm a POND5 contributor since june 2015
I have 2300 images online uploaded 2 months ago
but only 7 sales total... that its ridiculous compared to SS or others top agencies
Same pictures, with same metatags, preform very good on other agencies.

is it normal or should I investigate for a bug in my account ?

thanks for support

Shutterstock.com / Shutterstock acceptance rate

« on: October 27, 2015, 18:04 »

Hi
I'm making a statistic about Shutterstock acceptance rate
what is your average all-time acceptance rate in SS ?

I mean the all-time rate, not casual or recent, so you just need to take the total Approved Photos and Rejected Photos numbers and calcolate it.
For illustrations just make an estimation, usually its 90-100%
If you just make illustrations don't report picture rate.
try to not include the rate for illustrations in picture rate because it will increase the percentage obviously

we have to make 2 separated stats because illustrations/clipart has less risk of production mistakes and so higher acceptance rate.

I start with mine:

PICTURES: 33%
ILLUSTRATIONS: 100%

Thanks to all contributors
