123RF / Re: incoherencies in the recording of earnings
« on: September 25, 2015, 06:51 »
I can't find where to see which images have sold.

In spite of starting my port several years ago, I have completely neglected it until recently, so I consider myself a 100% newbie.  Only today did I find that I have actually had a couple of sales. I can see how many and for how much, but where do I find which images?

Sorry if this has an obvious answer. Mr. Obvious is not available to me right now, though, so I came here :)

Go to "sell image" and clic on "download" button in the two column menu

My own earnings from 2014-08-01 to 2015-07-31:

Assumed SS as 100

IS is 37 up
FT is 6.3 down
123RF is 1,9 up

All values together are 45.2% of SS. up

Interesting but a bit dated......I like to track a 12 month rolling average and look at trends. On this basis although ss retains the lead FT,IS and RF123 are all chasing it down. What happened in the past is only a partial predictor of what might happen in the future. Personally I think SS is losing its grip


I agree. I'll try later the same from August to August.

Obviously based on my own earnings from 2014-01-01 to 2014-12-31:

Assumed SS as 100

IS is 27
FT is 11
Alamy is 2.5 (only 2 DLS!!)
123RF is 1.6

All values together are 42.1% of SS.

I need to reflect on whom really worth...

I believe I am watching the erosion of micro stock before my eyes, where it won't be worth uploading to anyone but 2-3 agencies.

It happens now!! The only ones where really worth are: SS, IS and Adobe/FT. Based on my experience.

Agree, but I don't have the patience to upload to IS.

So I just upload to SS and FT.

Find it!! because really worth. I make, on IS, more or less the half of that I do on SS. On FT only less than 1/8.

For the last times: almost zero $, difficulty in upload, very long time for approval, stats doesn't works...It seems a little bit abandoned from the owners. I wait they resolve their own issues before uploading back.

Until few months ago it was a good "low earner" for me. But in the last three months it was terrible. May be I stop upload there.

« on: September 05, 2015, 12:57 »
Okay guys but my thought is: if we work in an extremely automated system, almost without personal relationship, this system must work in extremely perfect, straight and transparent way. If not, trust would be undermined. the Agencies have to work on this.

It got fixed now for me too. But the incoherencies undermine trust in the business! I hope will never happen again!

My download page at 123RF, at September 4, shows 2 sales without kind of licence and earnings.
My earnings page show 1 sub sale, for 0,25 $, at the same date. Which kind of problem they have?

For me:
1) shutterstock (100)
2) iStock (40)
3) Fotolia (10)

NEVER HAPPENED  :)

Me either.  But I thought I'd never have a zero day on IS, and they are happening a couple Saturdays a month now with over 5k pics.


On IS usually I have some zero days per month (2-6) but I have only 217 files there right now

Yeah, SS isn't doing well these days, compared to other months or even last July. But sales are down everywhere, in my experience. I have no idea where buyers have gone to.


Global summer vacation?

Sorry, everything interesting, but the original question was: anyone, besides me, had a Monday like Sunday in downloads on SS?

Today is a Monday like Sunday on SS.  :'(
So the real question is: are people seing an upturn in Fotolia sales?

The real question should be: Why does one sell their valued work for a royalty of 0.25 - 0.40?

Surely one's work is certainly worth more than this. I certainly can't afford to sell my work for this price.


Therefore, what are your plans now?

I just give them JPG versions.

Me too, until now. But now they make available a FTP upload for vectors without minimum number of works.
And i wish know if someone have reasonable results with them for thinking about if worth it.

...but, as SandySue told, few artists, on MSG, upload vectors on Alamy....
