Same as sharpshot....

After SS and  IS they are my 3rd best performer kicking Dreamstime and Fotolia to the curb by gettting a good few DLs most days,  that is only on a very small Porfolio of less than 200 Images

heee.... heeee......

THE ANSWER is about SHIFT!

Try to look away to the left and read/ concentrate on words/instructions whilst out of the side of your eyes make it turn the other way whilst still focusing on words to left, once you have done this shift your attention back to the figure nd Voila!

Works for me 

Try it and let me know how you get on

Nowhere  near the joys of the beginning of year and still way behind Shutterstock in $ this month however seemed to have turned the corner and on the way back up at Istock ...

That said it has been a Brilliant month at all the sites for me 

Wish it had been just left as this site was starting to perform very well for me not in numbers but in incom Shame! HOWEVER appreciate the need to test Waters and the opptions given to us....


Can you guess where this is leading lol I will be opting out as I feel one main Subscription site is enough for me ( and we all know who that is ) Had intended to stop uploading at StockXpert and remove most Images if it had been forced upon us so pleased I do not have to do this just yet 

will let y'all know how the changes effect my income

How did that event actually effect non-exclusives? Did it somehow lower your income? No. I found it rather childish when all the non-exclusives complained on the IS forum. It was a special perk to being exclusive in order to compensate exclusives for not uploading to other sites. What all the people that were complaining were basically saying is that there should be no/few benefits for exclusives, and that exclusives and non-exclusives should be treated exactly the same. That's ludicrous.

Yes it is ludicrous! yingyang0 and very much  your own interpretation, I doubt very much that any non Exclusives begrudge the Exclusives "percs" goodness knows they have earned some extra for giving that added Commitment.

It is the way it is done!.... the amount of times it is done!!.... and the effect on non-exclusive's Portfolio performance and moral...  Istock need to keep everyone happy to keep up high Standards 

Let the Cream float to the top regardless of the status of the Member says I   

or perhaps it is because as already stated very few non exclusive files show up in the first pages of best match for one ....

Anyhoo still not to distressed as I have a smallish Porfolio and my sales are flying elswhere to compensate

"What evidence is there that istock favors exclusives?"

Your having a laugh right!? 

This is interesting as I noticed lately that I had two referrals  ( did not notice the payment but the names on my members page ) and cannot for the life of me remember referring anyone to istock  Shutterstock Yes but not istock 

Hey you and me both eppix used to be the first place I uploaded, but no longer 

That is through choice btw as I never get to my upload limit anyway

Well as you can see from below things have been on a downward trend since March, with SS knocking IS of top spot as my best performing Agency.

Last month steadied a little SOoo  ....  one can hope, you never know with Istock
