... I've received 2986 views - 6 zoom but never got any sale ...

That means your images appeared 2986x in search results but only 6x customers actually clicked on one of your images... so its really only 6 "views"...

To update your portfolio pricing, when logged in please go to the dashboard --> Account --> Seller Preferences.

Here you will be able to mass adjust the pricing for all of the images in your portfolio, as well as adjust the licenses you would like to offer for your images.  Please note if these are modified, it will change every image in your portfolio.

That doesnt seem to be working though. I changed the "Portfolio Price" yesterday but the prices of my existing portfolio still has the old price.

(As far as I remember it never worked.)

So I'm seeing more and more posts beginning with "so".  Rather than just poke fun at this practice, I'd like to know what it really adds. Is it emphasis or informality? Or does it imply that a question will follow?  I'm not getting it.  If I take that word away, nothing about the post seems different.

So Im seeing more and more posts being completely off topic...  ::)

You are some kind of joker or what?
Plot twist, he has stake in these agencies. And by screwing over the contributors they've made him/her rich

I sold my very first photo today and it was the first photo I have uploaded. I am over the moon. It was bought in XL and I got 0.25 for it. I have only 4 images on that website at the moment. I still can't believe I sold a photo. Just had to share that with you.

Are you sure youre talking about 500px?

Problem is, most MSG members dont understand the poll results...

All the agencies without a number next to them are NOT necessarily low earners - they just didnt receive the required 50 votes. You can mouse-over to see the voting results for them.

So Alamy was never actually "way down" on the list -  it simply wasnt ON the list (due to insufficient number of votes).

And the "Earnings Rating" is neither $ nor %. (100 = 500$/month)

New Sites - General / any recent sales at 500px?
« on: May 13, 2016, 07:48 »
Did anybody have recent sales at 500px?

I used to have one or two sales per month until February but not a single one after that...

Does anybody know an FTP uploader  that let's me add keywords  and  description  to  an image?  I  was accepted  by iStock  today. I  will  see how it goes and maybe just work for them.  I  can't  do that to copy and  paste  everything  to 5 agencies.

You can use Stocksubmitter http://stocksubmitter.com/. You keyword your images once (you can also attach model releases and choose categories). You click upload once -and the program uploads and submits(!) the images to all the agencies you set up. No need to visit the agency websites at all. It works with most agencies (including iStock and Alamy).

Upload is always free. Submitting is free for 33 files per month. You can buy more submits if you need them.

If you sign up, it would be nice to give [email protected] as your referrer email.

Who are the other agencies where you found your clips under a different name?
Id like to check if that goes for my images as well.

Thanks for the suggestions and advice given in this forum! Microstock Group members have been very helpful to craft this little guide book.


Then it should be free for MSG members, shouldnt it?

No FTP, no IPTC, no watermark.

All Good here and BTW, a large upswing at DP is showing.
Depositphotos? I thought they were on the boycott list

Is there some actual boycott list? And does everyone who posts here have to follow it?.  News to me.
The first rule of the boycott list is  ;D  ;D

In all honestly though it seems that deposit was one of the agencies that got a ton of hate from the group

FT got a lot of hate as well...

Almost every agency got a lot of hate from the group at some stage.

This has become avery negative group. Always makes me wonder why people bother with microstock at all if they hate it that much...

_______________________________

FT is doing well by the way. I am not seeing a huge rise but clearly an upward trend.

General Stock Discussion / Re: 500px beside microstock ?
« on: January 23, 2016, 01:58 »
Yes, you can share your photos and get comments and favs but there is also a marketplace which SELLS the files ...
You don't need a HUGE preview image if you are just looking to share some photos...

They are NOT previews! They are the images users upload to the community!

The marketplace is just an add on because 500px realized the sales potential of the community images. There is no way to upload to the marketplace directly/only.

So if the community is not for you, 500px is not for you. Simple as that.

Giant previews with a useless corner water mark is why I do not upload to 500px.
Me too! I wonder how some photographers can sleep at night knowing their images are just screen captured and stolen so easily. It blows my mind.

It blows my mind how certain stock photographers cant get their head around the fact that 500px is - first and foremost - a photo SHARING community.  ::)

Thank you very much for your useful replies.

As I understand for now , the 2 main disadvantage of uploading my portfolio on 500px is :

1. The large preview with little watermark.

2. Very few sales

Am I right ?

No, youre wrong.

BUT

If you just want to upload microstock(y) images, there is no point of even trying.
