Title: Do miracles happen?
Post by: madelaide on August 05, 2007, 17:47: I had two sales at CS this month, both were NOT subscription (got US$1 per each).

Now, who does not believe in miracles? ;)

Regards,
Adelaide

And how many images you have there, might I ask ?

I uploaded 20 of my best sellers at other sites at CreStock just to test the waters. About 11 were rejected for "this is not what we are looking for".
Oh well, I returned a mail with "in that case YOU are not what I'm looking for" and deleted all my shots before they could get any buck on them. I'd rather post them for free at Flickr than trust Crestock with my shots.

Post by: stokfoto on August 06, 2007, 17:03: I am actually curious to see how they will end up.so I keep uploading from time to time see how high my rejection rate will be:) (but this only happens if I have nothing better to do)I got like 60 images approved and about 50 rejected and 4 sales so far(not doing too bad:)
Title: Re: Do miracles happen?
Post by: ManicBlu on August 06, 2007, 19:43: I have 61 images there and just as many rejected. My rejected folder looks like my port on the other sites. I've made 5 sales and haven't uploaded anything new recently. There are more profitable pastures out there.

Post by: takestock on August 09, 2007, 06:00: Rejection rate seems very high all round.

However 1 sale today from 3 pics up there.
Would look like a long road to payout!

Post by: josh_crestock on September 08, 2008, 01:26: Hi borg,

Your images aren't in the queue, are you sure they were submitted??

Post by: josh_crestock on September 08, 2008, 01:46: Actually, could you also PM me your username on Crestock so I can check?? Thanks
Title: Re: Do miracles happen?
Post by: MikLav on September 08, 2008, 02:24: Although Crestock doesn't sell much I get a few sales every month (and I uploaded so far less than 200 pictures, because Crestock isn't my priority and I only upload when I have time).

Yes their rejections often look illogical to me, but they are not as bad as Fotolia :)

Post by: rene on September 08, 2008, 07:03: One dollar miracle... Crestock lowest earnings will never change. I'm very happy that my portfolio is no more there.

Post by: nata_rass on September 09, 2008, 04:43: I've receive 10 cents from refferals ;D

Post by: Magnum on September 09, 2008, 15:14: They have rocketered for me lately (everything is relative :)), and my acceptance ratio is about 80%. weird...
Title: Re: Do miracles happen?
Post by: Kngkyle on September 09, 2008, 15:21: I have 185 images approved there.

$3 so far this month, 9 days into September.

$6.25 in August.

$66 in nearly a year.

Not spectacular, but payouts are not out of reach.

Post by: borg on September 10, 2008, 06:47: I still "pending evaluation" for my first 20 photos.... :-\
About 10 days...

did you send your username to josh?
Title: Re: Do miracles happen?
Post by: borg on September 10, 2008, 09:10: Yep! But still nothing, maybe they are very busy...

Do I need to send them some ID identification after registration...?
Title: Re: Do miracles happen?
Post by: Microbius on September 10, 2008, 10:08: I made about $80 with them last month. I find that they bring in much more than SV for me.
Title: Re: Do miracles happen?
Post by: Pixart on September 10, 2008, 10:14: Borg, I'm pretty sure that it took at least 2 weeks for me. And then there is no e-mail to congratulat you, look at your photos in the que and see if the pending white dot has changed to green. Or, hover over a yellow dot to see why it was rejected.
Title: Re: Do miracles happen?
Post by: MicrostockExp on September 10, 2008, 10:49: a miracle for me , just a got a $ 1 sale, closer to payout now haha :)

Thanks!

Maybe I am impatient , ok if is pending time 2 weeks, but on FAQ is cca 5 day, but never mind if they will work on our sales like till now... ;)

Post by: Pixart on September 10, 2008, 13:38: I answered as though you were asking about StockXpert. Oops. Not Crestock. Sorry.
Title: Re: Do miracles happen?
Post by: josh_crestock on September 10, 2008, 14:04: I believe they are finished now, borg. Wait times are usually pretty short (1-2 days), but right now we're dealing with a lot of submissions so that estimate is extended somewhat.

There is only need for ID registration upon demand from Crestock staff.

All the best,

Josh - The Crestock Team
Title: Re: Do miracles happen?
Post by: borg on September 10, 2008, 14:20: Thank You Josh, thanks Crestock!

Very friendly from you!

I am very satisfied with result, 17/20 photos are approved... :D
Title: Re: Do miracles happen?
Post by: sgraphics on September 15, 2008, 02:56: I do about 30 - 40 dollars per month with Crestock with 650 images uploaded. I'm quite satisfied with Crestock.
