"How is everyone doing on 123RF?" - not well enough to maintain 50% by the end of the year by the looks of things.

that new commission structure is going to hurt everyone... I will seriously have to see whether to pull my port out all together ( seriously, if they are going to screw me, I may as well return the favor)  or at the very least stop uploading any new stuff to them.

Theres still a few months to go , and I hope that they seriously reconsider their intentions of messing around with the commissions.... I think when they wanted to do this last year, there was a big enough stink raised about it from everyone here, that they had to back off... am hoping that they will just remain status quo

Yes but he's already halfway so looks like he won't be even making half of last year, with a bigger port, mine are a bit down too compared to previous months and lots of subs lately.
If sales trend will continue and 123RF will not do something about the commission threshold next year they will probably lose a big chunk of contributors, including myslef.
Everyone is replaceable right? wrong...

I stepped into this business way too late, I missed the good days. But uploading to 123RF is easy so I will keep doing  it for now

Truly feeble July. Even beaten by CS who I stopped uploading to ages back due to low sales - but everything is relative I guess! At least at CS every so often there is a half decent sale to boost things! So going back to CS - and as for 123...well, if they DO cut commissions like they are saying...they could become my 'new CS'!!!

I'll be the odd one out :)
My sales doubled in Jan last year and have sat within +/- $25 ever since. With Fotolias continued decline for me 123rf was about 20% more than FT

Druid

Worst ever month with 123rf, they are normally not too bad but this month has been a washout.....

heywoody

Too small, too new to see trends but seems like ok - revenue same as FT for July with fewer images as RPD is turning out fairly ok compared to the others.

stockmarketer

I'm another exception... July earnings up about 5% from June, and July 2012 up about 150% from July 2011.

disorderly

Me too.  July 2012 was my best month there yet, up 17% from June and up 279% from July 2011.  Year over year I'm up 81%.  123RF was my 2nd place earner in July at 19%; only Shutterstock did better.

sgoodwin4813

Down 31% from June 2012, but up 89% from July 2011 so at least the long-term trend is in the right direction (with increased uploads).

CD123

Same as sarah2, big plunge on 123RF, up on CS from June. Took overall about 28% knock from June.

Wim

BME, not by a lot though.

Still, good agency for me, consistent/fast reviews and regular sales/payouts, that is all I ask from an agency and that is what I get from them.

John W.

haven't been uploading much to them since their minimum resolution change last year. Monthly income has been about the same since then.

BME, but need a few more like it to maintain 50% come 2013

Every single month of 2012 has been better than the month before at 123RF for me.

July was yet another BME, and 123RF is now my second largest earner.

For the record, I do vectors primarily.

Nice to see vector artists do well there too.

I'm unable to check for daily DLs, instead the revised agreement pops up. The agreement was put in place in Feb, so I don't know why is it showing up now. When I try to check my earnings they're at zero for the last six months (since the latest agreement is in effect). Is anyone else getting this?

Not just you Stan. I'm getting a yearly earning page going back to 1969 (!), no recorded sales for the last few months and a total balance about $15 short of where it actually is. Not too worried about it -it's obviously a bug and things will back to normal soon enough (I hope). Regards, David.
