Hi, this statement was part of a Vivozoom email I received yesterday (22Dec09):

I am delighted to let you know that vivozooms first batch of royalty payments were paid out recently...

Has anyone here had sales with them?

I hate to say it but they are big time losers in the quest for microstock stardom. I had big hopes for this startup but all hopes have fizzled. I had a few early sales but have seen nothing, I mean nothing, in the past few months. Something like $2 for me so far in my account.

After losing too much time on their crappy programming and then confronted with the very low subscription prices, not to mention the unworkable MRF pages and the many rejects, I canceled my account too.
Notwithstanding that, I also got that email, and I even was able to change my password on the site (in IE of course, they still didn't discover how to get that part working in FF).
I can't login though. Another glitch?

Yes, I  HAD sales there. I sent them 2000 images for testing the waters. They accepted like 1000. My acceptance ratio is over 95% on the other sites and 85% on IS - where I get rejections because of small USB or Firewire logos on the side of laptops... and stuff like that. Back to VivoZoom... 50% ???!!! Grrrr.

So I have 1000 images online since April this year. And I HAD sales. Income total is 12$.

Do I need to say more?

They had an original idea with insuring images and it was immediately adopted by the majors. I respect those folks for coming up with something new, it's just too bad they didn't patent the idea.

I doubt that's something you could patent.

Thanks for the replies.  Seems like Andres has > 8000 photos there and Yuri has > 10000 photos there.  Maybe that's who's making the payouts.

Yeah looking into it further you are probably right. Oh well.. that's just business then.

1300 images approved and 9 downloads for a total of 8.63$, another crestock-like site...

No, they were paid to "upload" most probably. That is, a limo passed by them and collected their DVDs and a list of conditions.
