That's weird. What happened on 20 March? Did they cut the deal?

Well, the day I posted that, I start getting them again. Back to normal now.

Hmm strange I get one on the same day too! The sales started trickling again since then!

Dear author,
we will upgrade our pricing page very soon and it will be in USD. You quote a link in rent pricing page. What made you angree. Please, tell me and will discuss that.

Most of the contributors hate the image streaming! I stopped uploading to Pressfoto because of this! I still have part of my portfolio there and never ever got paid for streaming.
Very low performing agency I will remove my images after next payment! Many months without a single sale, so maybe I will wait for years to get my money!

« on: April 07, 2015, 15:31 »

Now I have a pending payment for 8 days!

I'm still opt in for sensitive use, as always.

Shutterstock.com / No FB sales for two weeks, is it just me?
« on: April 04, 2015, 12:24 »
I usually have between 5 and 50 FB deal SOD sales almost every day. My last one was on 20 March 2015! I'm wondering what's happening!? Is it just me?
I tried to find info on SS forum but unfortunately without success!

Same as January: $0,95 (5x0,19) Getty style!  >:(

Shutterstocks report yesterday of paying out $83,605,000 in royalties in 2014 raises a few interesting questions. While it is a lot of money it is only 25% of $328 million.

I believe you are forgetting the expenses of running the business

Contributors have expenses too!

I just remembered this quote from Rebecca Rockafellar on IS forum:
"... We get it, you guys are mad. And reading the forums for the past year has made it clear that some of you think we are lazy, incompetent, greedy or uncaring..."

"We have more reviewers coming out of training and starting to work now..."

I have deleted images from my portfolio too, but I don't know which ones exactly. Maybe some of the new reviewers started to work now!  ???
I believe they don't even know how many times an image is sold. AFAIK there's no counter of the sales for the individual images.

As I mentioned in my previous post Ingimage and SignElements are part of Ingram Image Ltd!

http://www.signelements.com/p/about.html
http://www.ingimage.com/p/about-us-en.html

I still have small part of my portfolio on SignElements. They still don't report the sales! No info of which image is sold and how much I get!
My experience and the info from many contributors I know: they pay almost the same amount every month, no matter how much images you upload! I mean extreme differences (+100-200%) in portfolio size (thousands) and just a few pounds (+5-10%) difference in royalties paid! Very suspicious! I don't trust them!
I actually requested termination of my account after payment long time ago with no success! I should try again!

Ingimage = SignElements = No deal

211
I found my images on Ingimage! I don't upload them directly, so could you tell me do you have partnership with other microstock sites?

I found the answer to my question:

Ingram Image Ltd>Ingimage

There's no way for me to let DT sell my images and pay me $2 royalty for an EL!
Some of these images will be used (sold by G**gle) thousand times over and over again!
Usually the contributor knows the price customer pays for a license and the percentage he gets! I don't know how much money DT gets from this shady deal?! I'm pretty sure their cut is shamefully bigger!
BTW I have few thousand SOD(FB deal) sales on SS and I get paid for every single usage in FB advert. That's how it should be!

214
PD bring me 1% of my microstock income.
If they don't change their policy back to what it used to be, I will close my account very easy! I don't need troubles for $50 a month!

I can't respect Canva anymore!
Promoting free images is not what I expect from an agency where I try to sell my work!

I guess you can sell your work in Canva and to not offer your photos for free. It's up to you. Or I'm missing something?

They promote 74 sites with free images! Who will buy our content if they can get what they need for free???

When I started selling my images I decided to use a nickname!
Now PD issue invoices with my real name without my permission!

I don't like the new earnings page too!
But what I need the most are daily earnigs statistics! I don't know other agency who don't have them!

I'm not a native speaker but I think 'based out of USA' means 'located in the USA but doing business worldwide' for a non-native speaker this could be easily misunderstood as 'not located in the USA'. I think this is the way fairplay understood it.

Yes, that's exactly what happened!  :-[
Randy Mckown, please accept my apologies!

So I guess it's not that hard to introduce youself?
You are Randy Mckown: "I'm the founder of PIXYLOO & a professional photographer based out of the United States."

...based out of the United States? Where?

For those who didn't understand my point!
I'm just wondering why the owner of a new agency is lying he's based out of the United States in his profile on PIXYLOO!
I can't trust him and won't upload my portfolio!
