I'm assuming that was for an XS size? How does that compare to what you would normally make on an XS size?

I haven't gotten any sub sales yet. At least I don't think so. They've made it relatively ridiculous to try to find out, unless you have a lot of spare time on your hands.

This may be a dumb question, but did we need to agree to subscription sales or opt out. I seem to remember the option was subscription sales would be automatic unless we opted out. I didn't do anything so assumed I would be in for subscription sales. However as I have had none, even though regular sales are moving right along, I don't know if that was the right thing to do or not.

You have to opt-out by unchecking the subscription box, so you're in first

A few days ago I got my first subscription sale. It was small size for $0.57. I checked back and that image credit sales for small generally produced about $0.75. Fairly close and much better than any sub sales at other sites.

No subs for me yet, but today I sold a very old image for the first time.

in past 3 weeks i sold a dozen of very old images. they really tweak the search engine.

vonkara · « **Reply #61 on:** June 17, 2008, 18:50 »

Yes, I also get some old sometimes, that's not good for the dwl/month in a way

vphoto · « **Reply #62 on:** June 17, 2008, 19:00 »

I got a lot of dormant images sold in 3 weeks. Why ? I was not the one promoting them. I am surprised and and i feel that if i play with search engine it will beat my regardless. Only way to succeed is to produce better images ....

Can anyone who has actually gotten an istock sub sale tell me how long it takes for the royalty to post to your account? Was it midnight Calgary? or much later? The FAQ just says "after midnight" which leaves it pretty vague IMHO.

If I ever actually get a sub sale, I'd like to know what to expect.

thanks in advance!

Subs are calculated after the day ends in Calgary (MST = GMT -7), and IS updates the 'Stats' pages and Balances soon afterwards. The easiest way to find out if you've had any sub sales is to note your Balance at midnight MST, then see if it changes after the update is done.

Sean Locke Photography · « **Reply #66 on:** June 19, 2008, 08:04 »

Unfortunately, there's no way to know when the daily update is run, and then the sub update is run. However the one sub I had took two days to update and that's what everyone else seems to say too.

bittersweet · « **Reply #67 on:** June 19, 2008, 09:09 »

Thanks, guys. Oddly enough, I did get small batch of sub sales finally last night. It was about 12:30 am Calgary time when it seemed to update.

While no huge lottery winnings, the royalties on all of them exceeded most of the pay-as-you-go royalties, with the exceptions of a few anomalies on the list that I guess were a result of exchange rate weirdness. Overall I am pleased.

PaulieWalnuts · « **Reply #68 on:** June 19, 2008, 16:39 »

Just got my first sub and it was about the same $ as the PAYG size. That's fine with me.

madelaide · « **Reply #69 on:** June 19, 2008, 18:39 »

I have just decided to set my 12 best-sellers as non subs. I haven't had any subs yet, though.

Adelaide

PaulieWalnuts · « **Reply #70 on:** June 19, 2008, 18:57 »

What's the stratrgy behind that? Isn;t it supposed to be possible that in some situations subs earn you more than PAYG?

Until I see it happen, I'm leaving those images out.

I had a $1.9 sub sale for a 10 credit vector... that's not good since most of my 10 credit vectors sell for $2.3 per download.. o well.. maybe i'll get lucky next time!

You have the option to not participate in the sub plan if you dun like it. It is very simple to opt out.
