Hi Lee,

it seems that new FTP uploads (from January) don�t even get imported anymore...? At least they are not visible on the "Your Portfolio" site.

Is that a bug? Or is it a feature? 

the link is not working anymore?

I�m surprised nobody called for a d-day yet 

So far 210 pp  and 70 sub dl!

prepare for the claim back 

All the sites hosted with godaddy are too slow.
Whats about your connection speed to ezmediart?
If iam a buyer i wouldnt wait..

I�ve got no problems with connection speed.

http://ezmediart.com/?aff=7677 is offering 99% at the moment and 70% in general.

Sadly, you are all wrong. It�s a CREDIT sale, not a subscription. And it has nothing to do with taxes either.

I got the following reply from support:
"It all depends of how much the client spent per credit. It is possible to have acquired credits at a discounted rate."
In this case the buyer apparently paid 49 cent per credit.

During November I had the grand total of 5 images approved... There are hundreds of older uploads sitting in my queue (and hundreds of newer uploads as well). There doesn�t seem to be any system behind it. Maybe Lee can give us an insight?

123rf, canstock, indivstock, photodune, kozzi

All okay and without any need to choose category or similar work.
Worth to upload? I don`t know. I sell in as many ways as possible.

Have you sold ANYTHING on indivstock?

Dallas, the only thing that counts is whether u make money there . if u do, what others say is not important. also, if everyone hates fotolia...means less ppl submit their work to them. if that means u earn more there, who cares?

In virtual world of anonimity on forums- yes, you are right. But, in real world, in your town, in your neighborhood, among your friends and people you live with - do you really live this way? Not caring about anybody, just going for money?
I know you don't. It's just that these internet world made us tell stupidities.

I'm not going to give up income just because my neighbor says it would br good for him. And I'm not anonymous. I would tell you the same thing to your face.

Nobody's asked you, or anyone, to give up income only because it's good for them. We've boycotted DPC because it's good for everyone. You included.

It's not good for me. I'm an adult, and I know what's best for me. FT accounts for about 10 percent of my monthly stock income.

Hmmph. It turns out you are actually even more stupid than I gave you credit for. Just the sort of contributor that DPC hoped, but probably never believed, it could really find. Enjoy your 3% earnings from them! They'll certainly be appreciating the 97% they take from your sales.

I wonder who is the stupid one here 

It seems you are confusing DPC (Dollar Photo Club) with DP (Depositphoto). DP are the ones paying only 3%.
So you boycott DPC without knowing why - or for the wrong reasons - or because you just didn�t think for yourself but just did what others were telling you to do...

German is NOT an international language 

Historically speaking, English is just a German dialect...
The Angles and the Saxons brought their language with them when they conquered Britain (which was Celtic at that time).

@sgoodwin & @pixelbytes

Do you sell photos or illustrations? And how large is your portfolio?

Photos, with the occasional illustration made up of photos.  The statistic I like to look at is total return per accepted image per year.  From 2010-2013 at CS this has ranged from $0.24 to $0.32 - not great, but much better than BS which was $0.08 to $0.16 and not much behind FT at $0.18-$0.41.  Of course, none of those are very good compared to SS, where total return per accepted image per year has ranged from $1.83 in 2010 to $2.33 last year and so far this year is slightly higher.

Stated another way, I have made from $24 to $32 per year for every 100 images accepted at CanStock - not bad for the few extra minutes needed to submit there every year.  I shoot mostly landscapes, travel and simple isolations so I assume most people do much better than that.

Thanks for sharing the data!

Well, I certainly do much worse... This year I made the grand total of $27 with 700 photos...

I know my portfolio is still small but I consider dropping any agency where I can�t even make payout once a year.
