If peopleimages.com one day becomes enough of a success to open up for contributors it would be great. I just don't want to go that way with nothing to pay out to photographers. We will see. In the future it might a be posible.
i will join it first,if the site open to us,hehe...

They stopped accepting PD images not as part as selling potential, but because it required too much time for their reviewers to evaluate and confirm the validity of the PD status of each images.
so did ur slaes decline?

My iStock vs. SS experience seems to be just the opposite of most reporting here. September is my second full month of being exclusive at iStock. If I look at those two months vs. the previous several when I had ports at both sites there's no comparison between the two in terms of income. While I had several more downloads per month at SS since turning exclusive at iStock my income is approaching 5X/month what it was during my peak time at SS.
I"ll take dollars over downloads. Having said that I must say that I "enjoyed" dealing with SS much more than I do iStock. So many site problems, a lack of communication, etc. If SS ever offers exclusivity with a higher income potential than they have now I'd jump ship in a heartbeat.
5X/month than your peak time at SS?May i ask how much is your peak earning at SS?

Well, I'm up a whopping 1% from a fairly lackluster January, and up 1% from Feb. 2011. At least the trend is going in the right direction...
As usual, Gostwyck, you and I have very similar percentages from each site. Up or down % from last year in parentheses.
ISP 28% (-23%)
SS 25% (+36%)
DT 14% (+17%)
Fot 11% (-34%)
Big 5% (+30%)
123 3%
Can 2%
Alm 6%
Same here BS, has certainly increased! quiet at first but after this Bridge-to-Bigstock, its coming on strongly. I never doubted the combination of SS/BS.
how to join Bridge-to-Bigstock?thanks

Well, Yuri claims to sell a photo every 8 seconds.
Theres 86,400 seconds in a day - so he sells 10,800 photos each day x 365 days = 3,942,000 sales per year.
Say his RPI is $1.5 (did I imagine that, or did someone say it above?) = $5,913,0000/year
50 employees x $50K (big guess here, isn't cost of living quite high in Denmark) = $250K salaries, likely more.
I'd say he's doing pretty well 
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpK5IXhKr_A&feature=player_embedded[/youtube]
The video says he sells 4,400,000 licenses a year. I don't know what his average $/download would be.. but probably somewhere between $1.00-$2.00 given Shutterstock is probably a large percentage of those sales (less than $1.00).
50 employees x $50K is $2,500,000 (you missed a 0 
but I doubt all those employees are full time and I really doubt they are all in Denmark. He works a lot in South Africa and also has people working in India... Meaning I doubt all his 'employees' get 50K/year.. but would bet that his Danish employees cost him more than $50k/year
wow,50k what? us or euro?its really a good price for me,the average incoming here is about 1.6k us...i will be rich here if i got those pay, lol so Yuri hire me , please LOL

Hi, do you submit your vectors to Alamy? How is the sale of vectors on Alamy? thanks!
Hi sobm Actually you can only submit large raster (jpgs) on Alamy no eps files as of yet. I've done okay with 9 sales there since I started in January of this year 3 novel use sales and 6 royalty free sales (all the RF sales were in August). I haven't tried to upload any photos there (well I did but it gave me an error about not being the right size or something) might try to figure that out one of these days to see what happens with it.
If you decide to upload I wish the best of luck to you
thanks for your information , Anita

Yep!
That's how you do it! They usually take 1-2 weeks to process a new batch, sometimes faster.
