--- Quote from: jsnover on October 15, 2010, 09:51 ---$330 per year to download 50 images a week - 2,600 images at 12.69 cents apiece.

Not sure what the photographer share in money would be but it doesn't seem this would amount to much per image.

--- End quote ---
In the UK the price is £295 for an annual subscription however the FULL subscription appears to include Extended Licenses for vehicle transfers too. For images only the subscription price is just £220 which could mean as little as 8.5p per image TO THE CUSTOMER and our 30% would be less than 3p or about 4.5c.

I don't fully understand how it works for contributors either. Are commissions worked out on a 'per week' basis based on how much a customer downloads? For example if a customer downloads only 1/3 of their entitlement does that effectively treble the commission per image for the contributor? What if a customer downloads zero images in one week? Does the money for that week carry over to the next or do Isignstock get to keep the lot for themselves?

Clearly they are aimed very specifically at sign-makers which must be a relatively narrow sector of the greater market. I don't see much in this to interest me so far, the returns for the contributor are likely to be very meagre.

A lot of my portfolio is already on there, would be nice to have more information.  I presume we would make more money supplying the site directly than via another site.

Has anyone been able to determing what the lock~in time span is for pics, 1mo, 3mo, 6mo?

I cant seam to find any infor on the site about this.

Oh,  wait a sec.

Is that 4.5 cents (US) for the photographer ? ? ?

If yes, then they can kiss my _ _ _ !

25 cents is my lowest.

When microstock gets any lower then that, then its back to taking pictures just for fun.

sharpshot:
I will wait and see what they say but I don't think 4.5 cents is realistic, as subs buyers don't use all their downloads, so I presume we would get much more?  Don't know why people only look at the worst case scenario, by the same logic I suppose a buyer could download just one image and we would get $66 for it?
