Adobe Stock / Re: Fotolia tightening up standards a bit?
« on: January 28, 2008, 12:49 »
fotolia has the most easiest criteria. they accept almost anything. I think they should be even more strict in terms of image quality such as - no acceptance for images taken by compact camera, due to poor lens quality, especialy purple fringing. Like istock.

StockXpert.com / Re: Review time @ Stockxpert...
« on: January 24, 2008, 16:40 »
Funny. All my images are reviewed within 24 hours. And I upload every 2-3 days, so it is constant result.

Dreamstime however is sooo slow in reviews. It takes 5 days or more.

StockXpert.com / A little problem with IPTC....
« on: January 13, 2008, 03:29 »
Hm, I have just uploaded a one test file via FTP. It has ICTP data, keywords, decsription and title. But It does not want to read it.

here:




I can see those keywords but they do not want to appear in KWS box. Why? What should I do? When I click submit, it just return me to this page again.


Also, how can I attach model release? I dont see the link for upload anywhere?

1090
I know that, that's why I am still active on Dreamstime. I have faith in it. :) Unlike for some other sites that I quit. :) I will give it 6 more months. :)

p.s.

I do have kws in IPTC data.... :)

1091
yes, Chode, what surprises me that many people are excited if they get 1-3 dls per month from a site that they hope will grow fast to make them rich soon.

vphoto




yes, but If I make 350 dollars on fotolia, and 150 on SS per month, than I do not want to waste my time on some site for 10 dollars a month... it is just not worth it.

Dreamstime is a big dissapointment for me. I expected a lot more. But maybe it will improve. 

Also I'll test my luck on SX, so we shall see what it does for me, in 6 months test period.

1092
GeoPappas, what is good of 70% if I have 1 sale per month?! If I dont earn at least 100 dollars per month, than it is not worth the time of uploading, keywording and stuff...


1093
I can not advertise my images (do not have time for that), so featurepics are out of game.

I want some site where I can earn at least 100 USD per month. So far, Fotolia is giving me triple that amount, and SS almost double. DS is so slow for me, I do not know why. Maybe they bill improve.

Maybe I should try ar stockxpert.


I had an account at BigStock, and have about 20 images, for a month, never sell anything. lol. I asked them to close my account, and delete images. Also, I think they do not have Moneybookers payout. MB is my only option for payout, btw.

Also I asked iStock to close my acc (5-6 months ago), I did not like them either. hhhh.

I have opened account at StockXpert, maybe I'll give it a try.

Curently, I am selling on Fotolia, which is best source of money for me, I have over 300 sales per month on FT, and it is working great for me.  I have over 4000 images online.

My second site which is very good is ShutterStock. It generates 30+% of all income.  I have over 1000 images online.

And the third one is DreamsTime, which so slow for me. In 3 months I earned only 70$, with 600 images online. That is a disaster. Total failure. Maybe 1% of my income is in DS. Not good site for me.

_________

Now I want to expand to one more site. But which one? I do not want slow seller like DS, I want something more like fotolia.

I do not like istock, because it has poor uploadong metod, one by one, and limited number of images per week. I have hundreds (thousands!) of images to upload to new site.

I heard stockxpert is too strickt, they decline good images, and sales are not too good either...

So what would you recommend me, and why? Thank you.

Off Topic / Problems with moneybookers?
« on: December 17, 2007, 13:20 »
Do you have some problems with moneybookers?




I have verified my address when I signed up. I got a letter from MB, with a code, which I entered... Everything was OK for over 7 months, but today I can not withdwaw money, I get this message:

Why that now? But OK. So, I clicked on WITHDRAW, and choosed my BANK account, and entered amount: 20 (or 15) usd, and then I do not have a button to proceed? I only have button CONFIRM, which I should press only If I have reference number, which I dont. How can I send those 20 USD when I do not have the NEXT or SEND button? Is this some bug on the site, or what?
