Shutterstock.com / Re: What's the best day to upload to SS?
« on: December 16, 2014, 16:14 »
I remember uploading during xmas, a couple of hundred, and had a couple of BMEs in a row at the beginning of 2014. Not sure if it is related. But I think new files need to mature, better have them online so they get in front of buyers right after the holidays. I remember SS saying something about how the search works and I think therefore they dont get buried, because the algorithm will prevent it from getting buried, related to the search query. If what I say makes any sense  :o

Envato / Re: Changes to VAT, how it's collected etc.

Guys, for everyone who doesnt understand what the VAT changes are, here is a link to the upcoming VAT changes in January 2015 in the EU (UK government): https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-supplying-digital-services-and-the-vat-mini-one-stop-shop/vat-supplying-digital-services-and-the-vat-mini-one-stop-shop

Which had a very interesting paragraph:

Supplies via internet portals, gateways or marketplaces:
If you supply digital services to consumers through an online portal, gateway or marketplace then its important to determine whether youre making the supply to the customer or to the platform operator. Where the platform operator sets the general terms and conditions, authorises payment or delivery, or doesnt clearly state the name of the supplier on the receipt or invoice issued to the consumer, then theyll be seen as making the B2C supply even if theyre contractually only an agent.

Hi guys, some broad answers to a few of the comments:

I think the main point here is that authors wont receive or have responsibility over the VAT paid. In the transaction chain, for VAT purposes, Envato will step in as the supplier and manage the compliance.

If youre concerned about a specific situation, please dont hesitate to email [email protected]. Ive been on the phone with ThemePunch (wish we were talking for a more fun reason, but really cool to speak to them!). We are committed to our community and work with authors on specific situations.

I have done their keyword promotion, only to find out I could see my own images on the 3rd line in the search when logged in. As soon as I logged out, that whole thing didnt work at all. Carrots, stick and all that.

123 and DP allow free downloads. SS you need to contact them and get permission to download them, but you need to pay.

Surely a Stock Footage Millionaire can pay for someone to proof read the content?  :o

Interesting point,  I was uploading more regularly before than this year. Maybe that is an explanation. I have a backlog of a couple of hundred. I will see to it that  I get these online and see if sales increase again.

1189
I dont understand that reasoning. In my first 6 months I sold nothing, then my sales started to pick up, and I was dong well at 300 USD/month, until end of last year my sales started to decline. According to the theory, I should have gone up in the search because I was selling, yet I got less and less sales.

Is it possible to get a filter on our portfolio, as in

Rejected
Approved
Queued
Pending Cut-out
Missing Meta Data

?

Shouldn't be too difficult and time consuming to get that integrated. At the moment the portfolio is hard to navigate. I understand the need to please buyers, but pleasing contributors is as important to the key of success.

Thanks for considering.

Are the 300 accepted or not? If they are all accepted, quality is of such standard that the agencies feel confident in selling them. If they get 300 a week accepted they probably have a very high work rate. Nothing wrong with that. Stock studios probably upload 1000s a week of perfect high quality.

How does a Canon lens fit a Nikon body? If you switch brands, you need to change your lenses, thats what I mean.

I agree to an extend,  if you are using one brand as in Microsoft or Canon, it  would be very costly to switch brand, like to Apple or Nikkon, as you have to replace all software and lenses as wel

« on: December 11, 2014, 23:44 »
We all have old images sell every now and then. But the last 3 days Im selling Nothing But 9 year old Images. I mean Nothing But. Nothing Newer. I hate it. My newer work Just falls faster and has no chance.thats a pretty screwy algorithm search if ya ask me.
It seems that new images need to mature a bit and then they start to sell. Its like my sales of new images always trails a few weeks, to months, and then they start selling.

Got a few designs off deviant art artists for composites. Paid them 50% of the earnings I  made. Incredible artists there who dont realise how good they are and how much money they can make.
