Title: Low earners to drop in 2015
Post by: mj007 on December 20, 2014, 10:27
I am on most ever good stock site on this planet. I have around 2000 images. I am thinking about dropping some of the low or no earners.  For me that would be, Stockfresh,Panther,Cutcaster, Most photos,Yay and Veer. Do you think any of these low earners have any future. thanks, Scott ... also what is low or no earner for you.

That must be a very short list.

I can understand dropping a no-earner. But why would you drop a low-earner ?

(What is low ? Less than $100 per month ?)

Some are less than $10 per month with 5k images.  I haven't dropped them, but I expect a few will go under this year.

I search for new sites to make more money. 20 low earners= 1 top earner. You will leave and i take your place.  ;)

I just can't understand, why anybody still uploads to YAY. Apart from the bad commissions, sales have always been extremely poor. And I still remember how they tried to cheat us with the lowest cent amounts in the industry with this streaming model.

I understand that some low earners are not worth the time to upload to, but as long as they aren't shady or openly cheating us, I would let the images you have worked to upload ride. The sites that are seriously undercutting prices and commissions - drop them.

I even managed payout on SF this year, although it took long enough.
