Namussi keeps wanting us to "show us the graphs". Why doesn't he share his? Did he post his?

Wow, that is crazy they closed the "big" account.

I emailed support a month ago about removing some of my images and they still have not responded or removed them. I'm wondering if I should close my account. They have really fallen off.

Congrats! I don't do editorial but I hear they are good for that.

Alamy is my lowest earner ...

You will drive yourself crazy if you go down this road...
If you upload to microstock, stolen and misuse of images goes with the territory.

I'm in between 5 and 6. I expect by the end of the year I will be on 6.

I feel like micostock is coming to an end sadly - the returns get smaller and smaller each year.

Soon we will be getting 10 cents an image ... I'm not even surprised anymore at the way these agencies are treating us. I went numb last year sometime.

I had no idea what level I was on but I'm on level 3 now. It's been a slow downhill on there for years. I don't upload anymore. It would have been nice to let contributors know about this change.

Good article and it is true we need to push ourselves more and more everyday.

But I couldn't help but notice the editor had told him why he was rejected in a "follow up" email:

"That follow up email she sent became the final lessons I learned in this process. ... she was able to give me some great feedback about why I was rejected and you know what? It wasnt because I sucked as a photographer or had submitted horrible images. ... They just had too much of the subject matter I had submitted and encouraged me to re-submit, PLUS they showed me that I already have the style of work they are looking for on my own website!"

I wish we could all get that kind of feedback ... I don't want to waste their time in the future with another application.

I'm fine with waiting. They know what they are doing. I'm not submitting my application images to micro ...
Thanks, because I have no idea what they doing, yes no micro but low price anyway :(

Haha - thanks for the quote. I still agree that they know what they are doing. It still breaks my heart to wait 4 months and then get a generic email. I still love the agency though.

No. Years ago they were decent but it has really gotten bad over there.
Plus, they don't let you removes images unless you email them.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Wish you success in other agencies. Me, I applied September 18 and still waiting for the news.

Keep us posted :) I'm hoping one of our fellow microstockgroupers gets in this time around. Cheers!

I'm feeling a bit down after waiting so many months. I heard trevillion doesn't accept many contributors (like stocksy). I may need a month to recover my spirits before I apply to another agency... Rejection hurts.

Thanks for the reply guys :) Okay, so no big deal as long as copyright isn't transferred. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I'm sure a lot of you do paid gigs for families, seniors, newborns on the side ...
One of my past clients wanted to submit one of my photos I took of her children to a contest where they win money.

What is the normal protocol on that type of thing? She wanted me to sign authorization to let her submit it.

How do you handle it?

I always do a "fake" birthday for anything online like that.

« on: January 18, 2018, 07:20 »
Sorry, I'll clarify, they put "their" commission on your MISC 1099 so you report "their" earnings on your tax return ... You never saw the money or received it but you have to claim it. Just their way of getting out of paying their taxes. Very shady to me.

If you are in the US, you pay their taxes on their commission ...
