I am on SS for a three months...

I have about 120 photos there, isn't to many , I think that will be more for a three months when I start....

But my batches have cca 5 images, never more and my approval rate is about 90 %...
Sales are good for start.

Greed is your enemy, even for pro photographers.

Borg, I'm pretty sure that it took at least 2 weeks for me.  And then there is no e-mail to congratulat you, look at your photos in the que and see if the pending white dot has changed to green.  Or, hover over a yellow dot to see why it was rejected.

Thanks!

Maybe I am impatient , ok if is pending time 2 weeks, but on FAQ is cca 5 day, but never mind if they will work on our sales like till now...

Yep! But still nothing, maybe they are very busy...

Do I need to send them some ID identification after registration...?

Catastrophic day is this Monday!!!
Last Monday I had 600 % more sales than today...

Is some holiday or what!?

For me bad monday, just one sale till now!
Usually I have 5-10 till now!

Anybody home at Crestock? I need to request payout as well, but I really need to do it with Moneybookers, since there's no way I can get money from PayPal where I live.

I found on "News page" on Crestock that you need to contact directly support service if you want payment through MB...

I haven't any pics there for now, and if you will have some experience with that please post here!

Something strange!?

Do you notice something strange in Microstock bussines (pattern in sales, agencies behavior,payments etc.)!?

My experience is:

I haven't sales for a week on IS,StockXpert,DT, and then on each of them in a single day...
3 times like that in last three week.

Yesterday  one sale PPD on StockXpert 1,5 $...

Low, just a low even for subs!

WOOHOOO!
My first 30 cents...

Wow congrats man, what are you going to do with all that money? 

Thanks! But I hope will be more!!!

First .30 cents here, but same portfolio makes more than 100 $ on SS... That was strange!

How it is possible that on a "high earnings agency" like StockXpert I have ZERO for a three months, even views are very bad...?

My portfolio is big disproportion between StockXpert and other agenices especially if you look average of other contributors.


P.S.

New Canon!?

What a dream! 

I haven't views for a week on StockXpert, none!
My balance is still 0,00 $, but all is OPT IN,

Three months I have been here, I have about 100 images and still nothing...

Same portfolio makes some earnings even on low earners company!
On SS I passed 100 $...

My approval rate is cca 90 % on StockXpert.

Is StockXpert low earnings company or what!?

On CutCaster I have three times more views than on StockXpert!!!

Viva Cutcaster!!!

Generally speaking, subscriptions is something good  for buyers not for us....
Agencies are struggling for costumers, finally that is race between them but over us...

If somebody need picture, he will buy even for 1,2,3 or300 $, every sales outside of that (through subs) isn't serious for our revenue...

What we can in this case!?

1. Who and when will buy photo for 20-30 $ (bid/ask) , if he can buy same  via subscription plan for .025!?
2. How to attract customers to this model and how to save earnings through classic microstock...

We need to think like every good seller, agencies are just a device!

Here is the plan!

1.At first ,cutcaster offer must be big replacement for Els, (you saw problem with Els on StockXpert)...
2.Then all  is on us, first YOU have try to get YOUR price at Cutcaster BID/ASK service, also EXLUSIVE. Newest is the best ( see SS)!!
3.After some time of selling ONLY on CUTCASTER ( your judgement for time), you need to OPT-OUT exclusive and begin to upload to other classic microstock agenices...

This is control for your photos, price and earnings.
