Post by: jackiechen123 on September 22, 2025, 18:44
My royalties for September finally exceeded the minimum limit, but I haven't received the remittance yet. Have you received it?

Mine arrived. Looks like I get payout every 3 months at the moment.

Apparently I was due $134.27 but I have not received the payment. I have tried to contact iStock but the messaging does not work properly. I also sent an email to a person whom I communicated with about my W9 but no response.

Please let us know when you hear from them. It is quite concerning not to get feedback about money sent.

I am curious about how to activate stock with fresh uploads. I have 4400 old files there and make 20-40 dollars a month.

Considering the material is really old I am surprised I have any sales.

When I started uploading to Adobe after a 10 year break my income went from 10 dollars month to several hundred very quickly and even had one month with over 1000 after a year.

Does anyone have experience with "activating" istock after a long break?

Is your tax status ok? Maybe you need to complete again the tax statement.
