Something positive for a change, middle tier agencies, such as BS, CS, DP, are showing strong progress, they are also nice to deal with, quick editing, quick response and overall, professionally run.
lets hope it stays that way, together with the big 4, this is what we need in the micro world.
best.

Are you bored again? ;D

That's why they're in the middle tier, when they don't 'stay that way' they'll drop into the lower tier :o.

It is true, but my earnings are Shutterstock 90%, fotolia+dreamstime+123rf+ veer+ bigstock 10%.
changes are complicated

Really? I made 50 cents at Bigstock in February. I was doing much better than that before the "bridge". Going back to 2006, I can see I was making $6 or $7 consistently on the same size portfolio.
I don't have many images there (only about 225) It's not motivating me to upload more to the site. Spend an hour or two a month uploading images....for that kind of revenue, I could be flipping burgers at McDonald's and making more money on an hourly basis. LOL.

What people always forget when making the burger flipping analogy is the time spent every day getting the stink out of your clothes and hair.

So true!! One of my first jobs was working in a deli slicing meat and cheeses on a spiral slicer. The uniform had a V-neck. Little pieces of meats and cheeses from the rotating slicer blade would fly down my shirt all day long. You could practically make a meal of what ended up coming home stuck to my cleavage! Gross!!

So even when all the larcenous agencies stink something fierce, a bad day in microstock might still be better than a good day working at the deli? :)

Oh, Amen to that!
Nevermind that I sliced part of the tip of my right index finger off TWICE over the two or so years I worked there! Couple of people got a little something extra in their sliced ham! :o
(On a side note, a sliver of garlic peel is the ONLY thing that stops bleeding from a wound where there's no skin to cover it. Hurts like crazy, but bleeding stops, and it disinfects too. )
