If you are acting legally then it's all down to your own conscience and ethics how you use the photos.

Yesterday I had some reviewed from 29 March so yours should be done soon. I don't think that many people lose much money by a week extra in review at canstock.

Alamy.com / Re: Alamy ftp« on: April 03, 2015, 12:28 »I believe its a limited / slow role out. If you click on the upload button you get the FTP choice if it is enabled for you. It tells you how to set it up. Mine is set up and works fine.Glad that you got it working. I'm not good with these things but it's so easy to upload using the site that I am not really bothered. 235

IStock is the one that is dying for me. My best earners are SS, Fot and DT in that order.

I see exactly the opposite. I rarely ever get a refusal there, even on images that another site has rejected. Maybe they are after a certain type of image.

Els have gone right down for me this year. Instead of averaging 8 or 9 a month I am averaging 2 or 3,with only 1 this month.

General Stock Discussion / Re: RPI Macro vs Micro« on: March 30, 2015, 11:24 »For what it's worth (though numbers are too small to be of any statistical value) - my RPI at Stocksy is significantly higher than at any of the micros I am submitting too. SS is my best earner among the traditional micros and Stocksy is beating SS' RPI by 5 to 7 times each month.Have you got your whole portfolio at Stocksy? 241

I've just uploaded a batch by ftp. It took them ages to process but they are done now. I just got onto the earnings page with no problem and have had sales so the site is working.

General Photography Discussion / Re: RPI« on: March 29, 2015, 09:13 »
Mine peaked at about 7$ a month in 2010 and is now at just over a $ a month and has been even lower last year. Earnings are currently about a half what they were in 2010.

Adobe Stock / Re: Fotolia Joins Adobe« on: March 27, 2015, 04:36 »My graph is about the same as Sharpshots, peaking at 2010 but has gone up a bit in the last few months. This month I should earn just under half what I did in my peak months but I've had many months where I have earnt only a seventh . I used to be able to easily live off stock alone but now it's a supplement to my earnings. 244

That's been happening quite a bit lately. It will sort itself out

If you haven't already tried it, it's really quick and easy to batch upload on the site. I don't usually bother with ftp for SS.

I got 800$ some years back on an image that rarely sold. I now upload to too many sites to make it possible to disable them from all the others

Aggressive marketing doesn't come cheap. Do you have the financial back up to do it?

General Stock Discussion / Re: Views to sales download ratio« on: March 19, 2015, 04:30 »
Some images get lots of views just because they need to be clicked on to be able to see the image properly and some get very few as they may be simple image that can be seen perfectly well in the thumb nail. In the case of the simple image I would expect a much higher percentage of sale/view ratio than I would a more detailed image. Some sites have a roll over magnification meaning that you don't need to click on an image to see it properly, others don't. In other words there is no real answer to your question.
