You can stop raising old threads from the dead.

So, someone pays big bucks for exclusive rights to an image, but you're ok licensing a similar image shot five seconds later multiple times on SS?  You don't think the guy who paid all that cash might be a wee bit upset?

You lost me.  Was it 60 cents like you posted or are you saying it was six thousand dollars?  And why would you put the same images on an RM agency that you have on SS?

in 3 weeks, my entire SS portfolio has earned me about $20. every sale was for 38 cents. how much might I expect to earn with my existing portfolio in 1 year, or monthly, or for its lifetime? how many years do images sell for?

So, you've got about 10,000 videos.  And you're at the highest royalty level.  So you have some idea how SS works, obviously.  Here's a tip, though.  Try a different composition then shooting the same thing repeatedly at eye level, from the shoulder up, cutting off the top of the head.

Something weird here.

What do you think of my portfolio ?

yes please let me know, thank you.

Ummmmm....

When will the ad campaign kick in?  I haven't had a sale in weeks.

Ah, well thanks for the info and the fix.

I've had lots of $3.30 DLs at FT today.  Very nice - keep up the good work!

Holy cow, yes.  Way to go Adobe!

You have some lovely work on your website.

But you have assistants, right?

or do you do everything alone - preparation, casting,location,shooting,editing,upload.

If you have a team I understand, but if you do it all alone, I am beyond impressed, you must have superhuman abilities.

Two shootings a day and 500 clips?

eta: just looked at your backstage images, so you have a team with assistants.

Then I can understand how you can produce high volume.

Still a crazy number, but I guess good job.

Sean, seriously?
So you make a session with 300-500 clips and cut to 20-30 to make limit on Dissolve?

Holy geez, what kind of session are you doing that results in 500 clips?  I shoot for two hours, that takes me a few days to edit, and I end with 20-40.

It was from a hotmail address too...

Ignore it.

In reality I think you just create a much greater risk for piracy with people downloading those illustrations and later selling them as their own. I've seen it happen hundreds of times... It happens a lot. It happened to me when I decided to do a little free experiment. Very annoying to see my stuff pop up on the very same sites I sell on, effectively stealing business. So free really backfired...

And to be honest, I don't think illustrations are high up on the list of things that someone who is struggling to pay rent needs to get...

i doesn't mean to hurt anyone's pov , i respect all of them,s pov,   but there are people who cant afford buying subscriptions ,

There are people who can't afford to buy a lot of things.  That doesn't mean they get them.

Some genuine  replies would be appreciated .
