no, that is the other guy that became video exclusive (over 100 downloads at iStock)

Has he got a photographer's account and a separate video account? From this thread, his port is only showing photos and 12 dls. He only mentions photos in his OP.

Does anyone have any the other way around, Where IS has more sales than TS? Or is TS just selling better?

the guy with 12 downloads haven't said he had nearly 250 PP sales, the guy who said that is video exclusive with over 100 downloads at iStock

The OP said, "...I'd like to become an exclusive contributor here when I meet the needed requirements (like in 2 weeks or so ) ..."
And the moderater gently pointed out, "Just to make sure you understand the requirements, you need 250 downloads on iStock (ie Partner Program downloads don't count) in order to become exclusive."

yes but where are you seeing that he has 250 PP sales?

From the fact that he thinks he will make the requirements for iS exclusivity in about two weeks, and from Rob pointing out that PP sales don't count.

yep, makes sense, PP is indeed the new iStock

Its true though, in 5 months, with 33 files, I had 29 DLs on IS and 126 via PP

I do believe if I get my 1000 files on IS or PP, I would make payout every month or more. I surely can use 100 dollar per month extra, or more. Problem is my conscious would be eating my soul away.

Don't know how many you have but I had 550 at the beginning and 800 at the end of August and made enough money from the PP to make payout (>$100). Plus what I still make at iStock itself (less). Since going non-exclusive I wish they would speed up moving the rest of my images to the PP sites. I might actually make more money from the PP than I did with iStock last year as an exclusive.
