Title: Anyone still on Stockexpert??
Post by: Rinderart on August 26, 2016, 14:25
Strange. I still get a payout every few Months for many years now. I was a big Fan of the original site a long time ago. Jupiter bought them I think. I get paid by them.

That's your ThinkStock payment, right? Getty bought Jupiter and ended up with StockXpert and SXC.hu, which was rebranded as freeimages.com.

I removed my stuff when it was going to get sent somewhere else where they would pay us less. I did like the original though... Come to think of it I think the only site I really didn't like back then was iStock/Getty.

Non-istock duplicate images at Stockexpert became the Hermera Collection at Thinkstock.  Only paid 25¢ per download.  I removed my images from Hermera a few years ago.

The same here, Laurin, every year or so!

yeah same here, (and every couple of years not months!) thinkstock is where I understood it came from. have no complaints, from what was at the time a small port and it's still out performing the bottom earning sites after all these years.

I am also still there with a few old (beginner) vectors. I have 10$ to the next payout, so hopefully it'll happen in 2017.
I also kept them (in opposite to others) because they had a nice team. Considering the size and quality of my port there, it's better than some of the low earners...

Yes, I have every 3 months a pay-out there. Small prices, but money is money ;)

Last January I logged in when doing my taxes and was shocked to see that IO had $620 in there.  This thread made me go look again but I only have about $200 in there for 2016.  I'm just letting it ride until it all vanishes.

About every 2-3 months I get a $50 to $60 payment. I was so sad when stockxpert was sold. They were one of my biggest earnings back then...

Yep...still there and still getting a payout every few months. Like Angela, they were one of my top earners before the buyout...wish it had never sold.
