Yay are an absolute and total waste of time - plus they are trying to introduce Micro Streaming services the like of which have ruined the industry for musicians. They are both hopeless and untrustworthy.

Mathematical equation

Yaymicro + Pixta = 0

Pixta buyers are Japanese so you need Japanese images. If you don't have that, forget it.

Pixta:
But prices (not subscription) are ok.
Sold: XL = 11 Credits = 1100 JPY = 7,96213€

Yaymicro: never sold a image

I lost interest in both when they started moving numbers around and making new "deals".

Yep, I've asked Linda from Yay more than once in this Forum if she will close my account and pay my balance. She simply doesn't respond. At the rate that Yay generate $$ I will be dead before I make payout.

on another note about YAY- I had entire batch rejected (all people shots) and ask them what I needed to do to get people shots into Yay- they sent me a link of all Yuri's people shots on their site. Yeah, sure just shoot like Yuri- no problem. And how much do I get per photo?

Post by: Vstudio on July 16, 2014, 06:14

so what do u do in those cases?

should i leave the 200 pic there and maybe il remember to go there in the future?

or

should i close the account give my pictures less wide exposure in better sites?

Can`t answer this. I would not delete them, because you already uplaoded them.
But there are several other sites i would join before thinking of yay.
