But it appears that they are no more savvy about microstock content and no more able to deliver sales than ever.  Glad I didn't bother.  Fool me once.....

With a small portfolio, I had an EL for 40$ (!!!!) and few sales this month on Veer, totally unexpected. About 70% AR.

I have 400 images pending ... none have gone through the approval process since my first 10 got accepted.  I do have 1 sale which is positive, but it would help if they would speed up the approvals so I could learn which of my images they prefer and make smarter submissions!  A month is too long to wait for approval for me ...

What is the cut-off time? Local time or EST?

I've looked it up, it's PDT

some good news about the dash program...i got an el sale for one of the photos approved under the dash for cash two days ago. it had been previously rejected under veer's draconian review board.

it was also rejected by is and ss (but accepted everywhere else). so life is not too bad for an indie who can go to different markets with various styles of photography.

what i've learned about veer's acceptance policy is that they are open to a lot more creative shots. some even came from my photocase port, which is a bit extreme. but, they are true stickers for model and property releases like you can't believe.

So, payouts for the Dash for Cash program are supposed to be made no later than September 15th. Coming up quickly?

I know someone mentioned this in another thread...when this program started, I got a weekly email update on my balance. That quit coming a month or so ago. Has anyone here gotten any update in the last couple of weeks?

Weekly updates have stopped for me also. I didn't even get an update email when they reviewed my last batch of images.

Just had my final 140 Dash For Cash images reviewed with (at Veer) a better than usual 50% acceptance. What was pleasing was that the rejections related to the images and not just the "Not quite Veer" button being pressed. What was really impressive was the personalised notes (for similars) added by the reviewer/s along the lines of "we thought the other two pebble mosaic images worked better and they were approved". That's a first for me. They didn't have to do that -especially at a time when they are deluged with DFC images. So respect to Veer and the reviewer/s for that! Anyone else get those personalised rejections? Regards, David.

They were sending out e-mails about which were approved and which were rejected at first, but that quit happening in the middle of July along with the weekly posting about how much you had made so far with dash for cash. Don't know the reason behind that.

Just got my first update email in a while.

Just had Dash 4 Cash earnings added to balance.  You might all want to check yours?

dirkr

Got mine too...and even without the Dash for Cash payment Veer are ahead of the pack this month...what a turnaround...guess it pays to believe.

Sweet! DFC payed prompt on time :)
Imho Veer is doing a really good job, i have good hopes for them. Sales are there, and they're there at very reasonable commissions + they're doing a very good marketing job (loved their puzzle book for its creativity).

Oh my God Allah Flying Spaghetti Monster Sol Invictus!
Yesterday 3.5$ today 212.1$. Please don't tell me it's a glitch. Please!  :o

208.6$ - how can that be? The highest price (for resale) on this shot is 125 Veer credits.

Update: got it. They must have paid out Dash for Cash, and the image sold was just 3.5$. Sigh. If something looks too good to be true, it isn't true.
Money won't make you happy.

yesterday, $3.5, today $219.8. it is not a glitch.

I Don't know. Put a link to your port here so I can compare.  :P - Please also indicate the shots that sell well and can be copied easily.  ;D
