Title: Sometimes I want to cry
Post by: CD123 on December 17, 2011, 06:28
Sometimes I want to cry for a few Dollars more,
get a half decent fee like we used to before.....

Congratulations, you have sold one of the Vectors you spent hours on creating. Please collect $0.30, do not pass start, do not collect $200 and you do not get a "get out of jail free" card........

.30 cents is low for vector, unless you selling at Shutterstock, then it's:
- Pass Go for .30 cents.... 100 times a day :P

But I understand that for most site, when you sell Vector as a Subscription, you get screwed but... It's part of the business I guess ;)

For about every 10-12 thirty cent subscription sales I get at DP, I get a $3.96 sale.

Not great, but doing better for me than Fotolia.

Average 53c YTD (mixture between Vectors and JPEGs). It is just nice if the Vectors can up one's average a bit more from time to time. Example 123RF 92c average YTD with 90% same port and Canstock $2.33 YTD average (much larger portion of Vector non subscription sales though, which does make a huge difference as one can see!)..

Me too. It's the ugly side of doing business. It's better than the outright thieves who steal our work and do who-knows-what.  :'(
