Looks like my pathetic 15$ is actually quite a good month then !!!

Compared to my 50 cents this month - you're doing great.

I keep on wondering why they don´t decrease the min payout

Because when they go out of business they get to keep your money.  Remember Lucky Oliver?

not my time :/

LO paid out asfaik. The only agency I heard that didn't pay once they called it a day, was Albumo, but then they came back years later still with everyones images. I've read a few times in this forum how difficult it is to get paid by ft, if you decide to quit them. I've not heard it for a while, so maybe they've reformed, then again...

I don't think SF are about to go out of business. I think they have gone for a slow methodical approach to building a ms site. They did well in getting past 1 million images so quickly without a pay to upload scheme. I think it would take years for new ms sites, which SF still is to gain traction. I'm sure they'll get ther in the end. Did stockxpert cut commissions? I don't remember them doing so. So hopefully SF will follow in this way once they get big.

You have to remember, back in the days when Stockxpert came, it was much less competition and a hell of a lot easier building a site. Today it must be close to a nightmare.

Perhaps as the sites that Stockxpert buyers now use carry on raising prices, more of them will go to Stockfresh?  I have no problem at all with the slow growth plan they're pursuing.  It looked like Lucky Oliver failed because they spent too much and their investors pulled the plug.  They did pay me nearly all the money I had left in my account.

I also wonder where is the money that IS/GI paid them..
