Thinkstock earnings are being posted now on Istock, and I can see them growing in "real time" right now.

Funny they are being added a few at a time since sales happened last month

I mean that when I cheched first time this morning at 7 o' clock (GMT) there were only a few dollars and I was a bit disappointed. Then I checked again and again and one hour later the total amount finally stabilised - and it's pretty good indeed.

I respect those who chose not to join the partner programme since $.25 is too low, each of us must draw a line and $.25 is the limit for me as well. But I joined and I'm not missing StockXpert at all: the amount earned now through the IS+TS partnership is almost the same, even if I have much less pictures now on TS.

I also noted that a lot of pictures which were not selling much on IS (such as simple backgrounds and textures) are having a second chance now on TS. I may sound a bit optimistic but credits and subs are possibly complementary and not competing completely.

But what is with StockXpert sales at TS (hemera)...?

I have there 200 old photos to test TS, still nothing, but they are on TS for more than month...?

StockXpert earnings on TS are posted on a different schedule. I had my first Hemera sales posted to StockXpert on June 8th and expect to see the next earnings in two weeks or so.

I did the same thing! Mine was only at $1.00 the first time I looked, I was relieved to see that number grow overnight. I offer all of my photos in the partner program & am loving the extra cash without the extra effort.

Maybe that is why your IS earnings are down...

Maybe... but I didn't say my IS earnings are down. Indeed, they are (slowly) growing each month.

What I meant is that some admittedly not so great pictures of mine such as simple background - which stayed on IS for 2 years without sales - are now selling on TS.

can anyone help to explain the difference of buying a same images that from istock and through partner program thinkstock?

I have a few files in old stockxpert account, and all are simple vectors that i let it run on thinkstock now.

I have a few files in istock and is available through partner program and got some $0.25 sales. But my common sense told me that i should not activate all my files in istock to partner program, because if every images in istock is available in thinkstock, why still buyers will buy from istock?

I don't get it, unless there is different license usage of buying in istock and thinkstock.

I remember istock advise to activate those images that haven't been sold for 2 years or something, so does it mean they don't encourage everyone to make every files available in thinkstock?

quite a strange strategy, i understand shutterstock got subs download and there are on demands and EL for some usage..but i don't understand what istock wants contributor to do.

I think it's the old SUBS vs CREDITS issue... subs cost much less, but buyers must pay in advance and possibly will not use all available downloads; credits cost more but buyers pay as they go; subs appeal to large companies, credits to occasional buyers

not so weird to me

why they don't encourage to opt in all pictures, I don't know; maybe they believe it's better to sell some pictures only at higher price through IS - that makes sense for high quality pictures

I don't understand what is your question, maybe this will help

Look at: "Stats" for general amount or "My uploads" and go to "Partner program".

Yes, it has all become so convoluted it's tough to tell what we are really getting paid. But then that's a good thing for the agencies!
