Image levels were updated and subscription royalties increased. <a href="http://www.dreamstime.com/forumm_8496_pg5" target="_blank">Read more...</a>

hurrah.

Dreamstime has seemed to be picking up recently - hopefully this only adds fuel to the fire

I have gone from zero to 6 level 2 images

I have 10 level 2 and one level 3.

Are your balances correct?  Mine shows US$1 more than it should, and I can't find why.

How do I find out how many I have on each level?

Click on the "Online files" button, then sort your portfolio according to downloads by clicking on the "Downloads" column header.
Levels are as follows:

• 0-9 DLs: Level 1
• 10-24 DLs: Level 2
• 25-49 DLs: Level 3
• 50-99 DLs: Level 4
• 100+ DLs: Level 5

I have 23 at level 2 and another 15 within striking distance ...
Go, stuff in my DT portfolio, go!

I think Sharply means 23 at level "2".   

Nice to see some pink and orange!  I have one level 3 with 38 sales, wonder if it will continue to sell now that it costs 3-6 credits.   My second best one will be level 3 with one more sale.

Ok, so I have one at level 3 and and 10 at level 2. What about those with 10 DLs? Are they level oneandahalf?

10 DLs = Level 2.

I suspected that. Unfortunately, I don't have any with 10 DLs. There are a lot of nines though.

10 = 1 credit, according to my 10ers.

Always nice to see a raise.  :-)

I find it hard to check my balance with DT.  I wish they had a simple list of each sale.  It is tricky when several photos sell more than once in a day.  Quite often I wonder where I have made the extra bit from.

Looks like I have about 7 in level three.  I'm not sure I agree that this is a raise.  Since these are my top sellers (by definition) and can count on at least one of the 7 selling each month, I hope they continue to sell.  I'll be looking to see if this is a raise.  On the up side, if those don't continure to bring in the $, perhaps some of my level 0 ones will sell as their level2 or level3 competition drops.     just joking as I don't wish anyone a drop in sales.

Since introduction I have noticed more dls of my level one images,more than normal and less of my popular higher level images. But maybe it is too early to tell.

I've seen that happen, but I don't have that many sales of the same images in DT in just one day anyway.

The thing is: I check statistics, sales earnings are what I have in my spreadsheet, extra earnings from referrals and keywording are what I have in my spreadsheet, but summing all this gives me US$1 less that I see in DT.

So it seems I received a US$1 bonus for a reason I can't see.

OK, I'm confused.  I thought subscription royalties were increased to .30 ... yet I have one subscription sale with 11/02/07 date for .25.  Anyone else have this problem?

Probably bought with old credits. I've got a mixture of 25c and 30c downloads.
Just sold a small level 5 image for 2.50$ 

Oh, OK.  I didn't realize that was how it worked.  Thanks.

Sharpshot, I have the some problem here... Leaf, the recent sale list don't work well if you have more than one download per photo per day.

No I guess that is true, but you could then click on the individual picture and see the individual downloads for that picture.... a bit cumbersome though - especially if a lot of pictures sold that day

IS has the same problem, no?  FT shows each sale, the problem is that their sales report page doesn't show the total sales and earnings of an image, like IS and DT do.

Yeah, the problem at FT is that it is impossible to see the total sales value of any image.

Same problem at Istock, but if you want to build up a statistic based on per day earnings with Dreamstime you have to click on every image and check the days it was sold. Obviously no problem with 1 download photos...
