$800 a per month???  I found your Dreamstime profile. Do you have the same amount of images on Fotolia or more? $800 is amazing for just one site! And I can understand the disappointment with a drop like that! Hope it gets back to normal for you soon.

My Fotolia Port has 2048 images in it and my Dreamstime Port has 2136 images in it.  So not that big of a difference!  My Shutterstock on the hand has 3896 images in it!

Nice to see you back Melissa   ... for those who don't know, check out her user ID# .. the 12th user on the site.

Anyhow, there have been a few people discussion a drop in fotolia income.  It seems Fotolia has taken some people for a real roller coaster ride.  My earnings have been pretty stable luckily, I've been uploading a lot as well however (if that helps at all).

Thanks Leaf!  I am always around here I just don't post much     

Here is my port on Fotolia: http://us.fotolia.com/p/4364

I think I may have to start uploading to Fotolia again to see if that helps out.

Is Fotolia Tanking for anyone else?

I was making like $800 a month there, then it dropped to $600 and now I have made $18.00 so far this month!  What is going on?

Anyone else finding the same thing?  Help!!

After a couple of weeks I can report all my files are up and running but sales went from slow to flat line. Even though I am un-exclusive with IS I am still making more money with them. Up to now - very disappointing

Can you link me to your Portfolio on SS so I can see your images?

Melissa

Welcome i am from Newfoundland!    I live in Labrador now and visit Nova Scotia every summer 

I have 101 images on Photo dune and I just got my first sale!  I started uploading last week...yay!

If it is like Isyndica was... I would sign up first thing!

I would love to see what you have done so far!

Melissa King

YES  SHUTTERSTOCK ROCKS!!!  My TOP site...  and sales are so good!

I have made $235.00 in the last 2 days!   

Ok, sorry but your site looks like they just took the shutterstock logo reversed it and deleted the center!  Just saying!!

I had a great month in February... UP 19.22% in Total.  The best Site for me this month was Shutterstock with a 41% increase!

You can see my Microstock Stats for February 2011 on my Blog  - http://melissaking.ca/wordpress/211/

I having started UPLOADING..... YAY!!!

Any news on the FTP yet?

My January 2011 Micro Stock Stats are here: http://melissaking.ca/wordpress/january-2011-micro-stock-stats/

I agree, go get your taxes done at a CA.  As I just found out I had to pay HST on all my istock income.  they had to go back 3 years and fix all my taxes     I got my own accountant now and it may cost a bit more, but you can always claim that on the next years taxes anyways.  Worth the money! 

Ya I am waiting for my payout again this month   

My advice would be to keep trying and try to learn from your rejections!  Keep your first 10 simple and "Stock" looking!  Bright good lighting, no noise, simple, and good composure.

The images will be viewed at 100% when they are reviewed, so make sure you zoom in on all your photos and see what they look like at 100% view.  You might be surprised at what they look like at 100% view.

Last tip:  DON"T GIVE UP!

Melissa

I got my payout today as well!!  took 24 days!

I know I will miss the service, so yes I will be interested in a new one!
