After witnessing the disaster of the Facebook IPO, I would wait until the stock reaches its True price,  and not get suckered on the hype like a lot of people did with FB.

For all you Space Cowboys (and Girls) out there, here is one that a friend sent last week.  A lot of pseudo science and corn field designs, and other superstitions.  After 30 minutes I had to quite watching.  The Doc is well made so if it turns you on, have a click:

I used to have secrets, but over time those secrets have been neutralized.  I was really good at keywording - now Yuri's tool has made that skill unnecessary.  

I came up with some good niche areas early on, but now they have been all been discovered and my images are just a drop in the bucket.  

I was better than average at isolations, but so many articles and blogs have demonstrated how to do it, that's no longer a unique skill either.  Not to mention that isolations have become so common that there's an oversupply and not much demand.

So no, I would not say I have any secrets anymore.  


Lisafx,

I would have kept all that information secret.  Its very revealing.

PS  ;)

My secret is that I hate cameras . . . . . . . . if we could only do without.

On your Contributor Page, when has the Monthly Earnings  at the top right, change to total Gross Earnings? I just had a "GREAT!" moment until I realized that the sum was not July Earnings . . . . . . . . oh well.

For me, at least, this is new.  And if you click on "Earnings" then it brings you to "Earnings Summary". 

Kind of nice.

I feel your pain Luis.  For me, 50% drop from last month.  Can all the blame be placed on the summertime slowdown?

Categories, Yes, many Categories . . . . .  I'd say at least 400 Categories with 10 sub-categories for each of them. . . . . NOT

I had a sale (DPP) for 19,50 EUR few weeks ago. Now I believe I will reach payout one fine day.

Ditto on that 19,50 EUR, yesterday a Getty sale was recorded . . . . .  its all about the partners.

I hope this will satisfy your needs.
It would look like this for next couple of years.



Well done JM, sometimes a picture is worth many words . . . . . . . . . .

Cro:Irl game saved the day. At least some decent footy, a few goal, attacking, not just defending and/or passing the ball in the middle of the pitch most of the time

Ireland wasnt bad at all, kind of surprised actually, that said the referee team wasnt on Ireland side too...

Yeah, a player was off side when they scored the 2nd goal and the ref didn't give them a clear penalty. They're always lucky, just like Italians.

The offside doesn't count if the pass comes from the other team. In this case the Ball came off the Irish players foot.
But the refs really where a bit against Irland. That was a clear penalty!!!

A player (or two) was in off side position, when one of the Croatian players shot from outside the box (a few seconds before the ball bounced back to the Irish player who assisted Jelavic), the second situation was OK, the way you put it.

As far as i know, that doesn't count as offside, since the players where in a passive offside (the player with the ball wasn't passing to them). As long as the players who where in the offside position don't obstruct the opposite players, everything is fine.

Still, the situation was very unlucky for the Irish players.

Today England - France is going to be top.

I'm betting on France. Benzema is in my eyes one of the best strikers around. I'm also a huge Ribery fan (because of he's soccer and not he's looks  ;D)

Ouch!

Luis

Sorry about the 1-0 game last night.  Neither team looked very good,  both teams are going to have to play better if they expect to have any success in this tournament.

I tried a sample of different things from my portfolio but couldn't get anything accepted, so I've written them off (for me anyway)

Likewise
