Some facts are like:

2013 income: ranges from 0 to above USD90,000
2013 new online content: ranges from 0 - above 5,000
working hours per day: 0 - above 8 hours

If you can understand Chinese, you are welcome to take this survey at http://www.wenjuan.com/s/bUb6Nb

You will see the survey result right after you finish it.

If you can NOT understand Chinese, please do NOT take it, I will post the result around the end of this month.

Thank you.

It's a combination of local and international stock agencies, and some comparisons like income over shutterstock, getty images and etc.

Where is the option "translate"? :p
Is Chinese going to be (or is already) first world language?

(seeing last trends)

Do you plan to release an English version?
And what's the data sources (if not mentioned in the article anyway)?

Thanks,
Robert

I've closed the survey some days ago and there were 140 people attended anonymously.

I will not do a translation but you can surely use google, as the questions are simple and the charts are intuitive, and here are some key points I'd like to share with you guys.

income: 2.86% claimed they have received more than CNY500,000 in 2013, roughly USD83,000, and 3.57% claimed their income dropped over 50% compared to 2012
7.86% has a team
over 60% are contributing to macro rather than micro here in China
10% contributors are buying in stock as well
4.29% worked more than 8 hours per day
over 7% had more than 3000 new images online in 2013

And you can find my comments in http://www.tukusheying.com/info/es_t_20140104060253.html

And my 2012 survey if you are interested http://www.tukusheying.com/info/es_t_20121223054921.html
