The basic question... Good for us or bad for us?
Has any change ever been good for us ??

Fotolia has been terrible but seems to have come back to life again today.

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

PhotoDune / Re: 10% approval rate
« on: April 08, 2015, 02:21 »

 photodune one of the fastest submission process. Same as 123. Dreams time submit every photo one by one. Waaay to much work.
Except for their peculiar way of attatching model releases.  They are my 7th best earner.

« on: April 08, 2015, 02:17 »
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.

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.

The main thing is to make sure you choose the STOCK folder when downloading from your client.
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.

I don't remember ever having a zero day there.

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?

« on: March 30, 2015, 11:22 »
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.

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.

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

My sales have doubled there in the last Month. about time.
I'm set to have the best month for earnings since the beginning of 2011 (at fot only)

« on: March 21, 2015, 15:45 »
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.
