30 photos for $2,800 doesn't look real deal, but will be awesome if it's possible. Great to see Stocksy and Snapwire in Creative Market

Too many calculations. Come on guys, do some more shots instead of losing your time of comparing eastern and western standards. There are so many examples of successful western stock photographers(having higher costs) and unsuccessful eastern stock photographers even when they are in one "cheap" area.
Then why are you wasting your time posting? Isn't this the pot calling the kettle black?
To share my vision on this topic.
Your vision is to tell everyone else to stop analyzing and start shooting? Yet you are spending your time posting that message instead of spending your time shooting to the very vision you are violating yourself? You're funny.
Please do not explain me my vision Analyze what to shot and what sells, but i don't agree to analyze how the standard of life in my country affect my success in the stock photography. Sorry, but I don't like to argue with anybody.

Deyan, I agree, but it would be nice to have a better interface, so I could see WHICH photos are deleted. I don't have the time to browse through all of them to see which one is missing, and like you, I don't think it really is important. But having no tools to sort my portfolio (to be cutout, rejected, approved, processing ...) is annoying.
I agree that there are a lot to do in the contributors interface and hope to be done soon...

Canva removed more images from my portfolio! Some of them were good sellers! I don't plan to upload more! They don't need more of my images!
BTW I am one of those 100+ contributors with regular monthly payments! Or may be it's better to say "I was ..."!
This is personal point of view and personal decision, but i would say do not pay attention on this. Canva already shows us that they know what they do in all aspects, this is a part of the portfolio optimisation. All we know this, but some of us don't want to be affected. Some of my files are also removed, but this is not something to provoke me to stop uploading. I even didn't check which of my files are removed. I say this as one of the top contributors in Canva. In this forum i see everyday posts about rejections or removed accepted files and to me this is absolutely not a painful problem. Even more, this problems like rejections will grow much more in the future, because of the increase of the whole microstock portfolio. Be prepared for this We must be much more focused on the content which we will create and less on the content we've already created!!!At least i give my energy on creating new salable images

First of all is important to know zero sales of 10 images port, 10 000 or 100K? When we talk about sales there are a lot of factors around this conclusion...

It's a bit strange that SuperImageMarket and Indivstock are just after Canva in the poll. Are they really so successful now?

Just sold a 4$ image on CM and I was tax withheld on 1,2$ so Im not really sure whats going on.
My country doesn't have tax treaty with US so 30% on US sale would be normal but 1,2$ is 30% of the whole 4$ sale not on 2,8 that I get.
So or they are withholding 30% on full 4$ price or they are withholding 42%+ of my 2,8$ share.
Im really interested to hear any thoughts ?
The logic i find is that Creative Market do not work as agency to sell our work, we sell our work in their marketplace. In this case CM receive % for the service. We sell our work on the price that we want and we give 30% commission to CM, but as the sale is our sale we pay tax(tax treaty with US) based on whole amount.

I love this job, I love the photography and the freedom to do what i love. To me this is the best described in one Confucius quote: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." P.S. This is the best MSG post

A lot of conclusions, but when we can't see the portfolios on the every particular contributor who make this conclusions this mean nothing, or will not be objective. One thing is to say no ELs from portfolio 500 images and other thing is from portfolio 5-10K or 50K images.

Congrats and personal respect to Ed Gately and Ralph Ventura, but to me much better indicator could be report of 100 photographers which got $181.50 each when we talk about sales there.

They're actually (aside from the one obvious one) Christmas lights poked through the blue velvet background. Takes quite a bit of time and duct tape.
Sounds interesting, may i see one of them Sean?

I still am confused if OS did say: "we don't want microstockers!"? I thought they accept only high pros from RM/ macro world and close doors to micro roams...
Deyan, I find W61 in agencies often lately, maybe you'd like to give us some more light on it (like how to get, what they need, what is the offer) in other thread?  All I know they want exclusive files only.
I really don't know, may be when somebody show images which to impress them then they will take him. I'm new in W61 and for now what can i say is awesome people out there, I feel comfortable there and i believe on them!

I'm very new in Westend61 and as you can see not too much images in my portfolio in Offset. It takes long time to have the idea about sales.

I find so much unnecessary complexities in this site just on first look:
Cash out from every six months to every month according your rating
You have to pay for storage
Three kinds of prices
Provided amercement as if from a government agency "actual infringement of copyright, you will be fined $ 10,000 USD"...

I have everyday sales there and no one refund.

About Creative Market i can say only good words by my short experience of a couple of months. Everybody can place his own prices, so this is the real market where if you have no sales you should lower the prices and if still not the conclusion is that your production is not competitive. I have regular sales and i like it

123RF beats Fotolia in my case, go figure! Shutterstock leads the pack of course.
I think I'm about done with this stock photography business. 4 years of getting it up the ass is enough for me, time to pull my pants back up and move on. I wanted more out of this (full-time for life) but that's impossible with the way these agencies operate.
Good luck though lads, you're gonna need it!
Don't let us stop you, please leave now, and MSG to. Good luck.
For me FT is 0% of SS 
Mine to +
Principally when somebody sale non exclusive images and say that "For me FT is 0%" he should not be proud of that, but to be worried that he lost money. It's not about the name Fotolia this is a principal question valid for every one of the top agencies.

I have 7.5K images on sale there and I have regular sales. Yes, it's complicated process to upload in 500px, but it worth. Just make all low resolution images watermarked thru photoshop, than upload watermarked in 500px and high resolution in prime.500px.com
Are you actually selling "normal" stock images there? Or do you have such a large "fine art" portfolio?
Did someone damage your Google search? 
Deyan, you must admit it's hard to understand why in these days 500px can't offer watermark and resizing and makes us to do it handly, wasting time for something which is normal everywhere? It's annoying to prepare and upload images twice, do you hear that 500px!?!
My target is not the people who search free images and try to clean the small watermark from Prime in order to use the image. My target is the real clients who pay and use legal images. I'm not worried about stolen usage, just don't care Are you actually selling "normal" stock images there? Or do you have such a large "fine art" portfolio?
No, a big part of my images there are typical microstock(but not white isolated or some kind of simple microstock) and the other part are premium not exclusive macro content.
