Hi all,

I've been working on a new application that analyses our earnings across several agencies which I plan to sell through a subscription services. However, I would like to have one or two beta-testers so I'm 100% sure that the application works.
The ideal beta-tester should be able to speak Dutch, English or Spanish (I prefer English or Dutch). Furthermore, I am looking for someone with a largish portfolio (and regular sales). I would like you to try out the application and give me feedback on any error that occurs. It would be highly appreciated if we can have an online meeting (zoom/skype etc.) at some point. Another plus would be if you are willing to help me out with testing large updates in the future as well.

What's in it for you? If you are willing to test future updates as well you can use the application freely afterwards. If you do not want to commit to testing possible future updates, I will give you free use of the application for a year.

The application has the following functions:

 - It can check your earnings at regular intervals
 - It gives a notification (if desired) of new earnings
 - Gives an overview of earnings/download per required timespan (alltime-yearly-monthly)
       - overview can be set per agency/mediatype (photo or video)/ licensetype (commercial or editorial)
 - Shows the RPD/RPI and portfolio size per agency over time (alltime-yearly)
 - Generate downloadable tax forms with an overview of your earnings per timespan.
 - Breakdown of buyers metadata (See how it is licensed, what size and where)
 - Breakdown of sold assets metadata (See which duration, codec, image size etc)
 - Keyword overview (see what keyword has sold when and how many times)
 - Image tracker (see what place an image ranks in the search of Shutterstock and Adobestock), track your most popular 
    assets over time so you now when earnings of those image might start to decline.

At the moment I've included the following agencies:
Adobestock, Bigstock, Dreamstime, Depositphotos, Igetty, Shutterstock, Pond5 and Videohive

Please reach out in a message of in private if you are interested!

Cheers,

Jarno

OpenOffice and Scalc.. I use it for my microstock revenues since early 2007. Totally Free and constantly, personnaly, updatable. Nothing simplier and less time (or money...) consuming could exist.
I work with 3x the numbers of agencies you propose.

Except newbies, who are those who could be interested by getting boring notifications of new earnings ? "Fantastic!!! you just sold an image for 0.000002$, congratulations!!!!" 
Plus, I like to keep my numbers by myself 
I collect the numbers monthly, and I don't need more regular analysis, except the ones I can do eventually. I think that nothing in what you propose could increase sales numbers.

How much are you paying for a beta tester?

I'm giving free access to the software afterwards, no additional pay. Note: I've tested the software already with my own portfolios, it's working fine I just want an additional random person having to use it. I am not asking for an official beta-tester neither for your resume. So, in my opinion a free version of the software is sufficient without additional pay.

Hi,

Indeed, I have also been using excel to track my earnings. However, with my software you can do much more than make a simple overview of your earnings among agencies. Moreover, it does save time because doing all manually in the end takes time.

The 'boring notifications" is only one feature out of many (although $0.00002 is a bit exaggerated). Sidenote: I did put an option in there that you receive only a notification if you earn more than 10, 50 or 100 dollars so you only get a notification of nice 'suprise' earnings as I also did not want those small earnings notifications.

The software does not share your earnings and they are stored on your computer locally. So you keep all your information private unless you want to share print-screens of your graphs etc. Furthermore, with a press on a button you can delete all your information at once with the software if desired.

I'm happy to hear you got yourself a good system collecting your numbers manually and don't need more regular analysis. I myself did need more information, which is the very reason I developed this software.

pangamedia don't waste u're time, there is nothing left to analyze... everything is at such a low level that a personal analysis would take a few minutes, we don't need a tool. Sorry

For me there was and there is Maybe the golden times for microstock are over (from what I hear..) but not everything is bad. At least not for me..

if not already there, many post graphs without actual $ figures to show trends

also- where does buyer metadata come from? - the where used data could be very useful

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure if I understand the first question. Graphs contain all necessary information (earnings in dollars, downloads in numbers, RPI in dollars, RPD in dollars, Portfolio size over time in numbers etc.).

Buyer metadata (country, licensed size and product type) comes from the agency and is only present if given by the agency. For one, Shutterstock only tells you whether it has been bought with an subscription/cart sale etc. whereas Adobestock also tells you the bought size (hd, 4k). So although your video is of 4k quality, it might have been sold as HD only. (Might be useful when deciding buying new equipment )

Cheers,

Hi,

It is accurate. To give stats: my shutterstock portfolio size has been calculated 100% accurately whereas my earnings are displayed with 99.96% accuracy. It has it's own difficulties, for one changing dashboard etc. makes it harder. Both Dreamstime and Adobestock are integrated in the software

Cheers,
