"I'll like to estimate for example, how many clips might I need to achieve a 500 dollar income monthly?"

One good one, or 1000 bad ones.

Where on FT does it describe video pricing?  On the indexing page, I see V_S Price (12-12) and V_X Price (200-200).  What does that mean?

And why can't they read the meta-data in the file?  No description or keywords come across.

There's a difference between showing up as "random person 45" in the background of a picture or video of a family member and being the subject of a stalker.  The law in that article goes waaaaay overboard, IMO.

Stocksy / Re: Analog pictures at Stocksy
« on: December 03, 2015, 11:19 »
I have no experience with analog, but I can see that the files are very small when converted to digital files.


How did you come to that assessment? Looking at the Film queue at Stocksy, I can see images ranging from 6 (the minimum) to about 16-20 megapixels. Medium format images partly a bit higher.


Maybe he's talking about file size or something?

Honestly, I've had no issues.  No refunds I've noticed.  Quite a few sales that pay $5-something.

Wetransfer is a simple file transfer app, you select files on your phone or pc, add an email address and that person gets a link to a zip file with the files. i assume that now you can add files you bought from istock straight from the site to the api and send them in similar fashion to any email address. dont see the issue, it just makes it easier for a buyer to share their purchased images with whoever they need to share them with

Buyers shouldn't need to "share" a file with anyone.  Especially since the license is non-transferable.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Which gender sells more in general?
« on: December 01, 2015, 18:09 »
Don't know, but I beleave, that pics of women will always sell better, because generally more females are represented in advertising. However, my bestseller is a simple shot of a granite pavement, and I've always wondered why  8)

It's probably a female rock, but you take it for granite.

Ha ha. ... ha.

I buy at GL Images, because it's simple, easy and quick.

I want to deal with macro photography. I have a EOS REBEL T2i and would like a help on how to start looking for a macro lens. I thought to http://www.macroringflash.com/canon-mr-14ex-ii/ but I'm not sure if it's the right decision. Thoughts?


Start a separate thread?

One good one or 50000 bad ones.

It's relevant because a BME of 5 sales is just random luck.  An increase from 200 to 300 says something else.

1514
This month, even if it is not finished, is my best month ever
Not sure that sales collapse for everybody.

For me it's the same, I'm exclusive with 9000 images.

And how many sales?

The files sell multiple times, like any other RF file ( unless a market freeze EL is bought).

Stupid auto correct.  "Completely different".

If they're called mole felt different aside from using the same model, sure.

All I can say is what I see when I walk into Costco or Target and see the demo sets.  Looks like slightly clearer HD.  Not the miracle difference between HD and standard.

We have in our neighbourhood a video store. One of those good old fashioned ones that has all the new releases for  you to rent. I like the place and support it when I can. The thing is, it's greatest amount of shelf space is still dedicated to DVDs, not Blu Ray. Maybe it's the cliental or something else. But the far majority don't even bother to rent on BluRay.
The difference between DVD and Blu Ray wasn't enough for most people but 4k takes it to another level.  Blu Ray will lose out, people will probably go from watching DVD's to streaming 4k, if the internet can cope.

I disagree.  The difference between standard and HD is huge.  The current resolution is enough that I can't see the pixels from my couch.  Adding more pixels won't change that.

Very glad I jumped on 4K early on since I'm starting to win business from clients who are producing 4K TV documentary series. I just licensed 68 4K clips to a production - the market is certainly growing.

That's awesome. Congrats.

An anonymous account with 3 posts, I'm going to take that with a grain of salt...

My sales with 4K at $199 are few and far between.

Exactly why I don't sell at VB.  Encouraging buyers to think $49 is an appropriate price is a mistake.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Looking to sell 3,000 Vectors
« on: November 16, 2015, 16:24 »
Hi, was just curious if there would be anyone willing to buy or if someone here knew of someone interested in buying all my present vector pattern artworks, 3,000 in all. My plan is to sell for commercial use only. Not selling the artworks so that the buyer can resell but to use on his/her projects.

You're not looking to have someone "buy" your collection.  You're looking to "license" your collection, like a clip art collection on a cd.  "Buying" indicates assigning the rights to someone else.  It's unlikely anyone needs to license 3000 vectors they can't see, and probably wouldn't use more than 5% of.

Wow, how did you find a crop of a reversed image comped over another image?
