China is a Communist country. People who expect that commercial enterprises will proceed there in the same way that they do in other places and that 'Marxism' is a meaningless label may be disappointed.

haha, China is a fake communist country,there is no so-called communist in that country..they are just dictatorship and Capitalism , only one party rules the conutry and it called itself communist, thats it..totally fake,no real Marxism is apllied on that soil now...its * true, loolol. a lot * governments of that country just steal thier peopels money and wash them into west world..its * true, China is that kinda country,* true....hehehehe ;D

used to earn several thousand a month before they effectively switched off the program. now it's something irrelevant. maybe 200-300 a month. referral years were fun. nice memories.
200-300 is the level of my 2nd earnings angecy, lol ;D

I have a few friends here in England who signed up with AGE and they tell me its the biggest waste of time ever. No sales at all, nothing.
From experience I know that when it comes to these types of agencies. Getty is the only one. Many people in the Getty house, are earning way past 10k per month.

what kinda images can make over 10K per month, can you show us? ;)

Its not stealing, its an overpayment and has to be paid back. I have no issues with paying back an overpayment, the problem is with their never ending cock ups and the way they handle these issues. No explanation, forum bans, no apologies.... etc.

Why I never have overpayment from IS?as you guys all reported a wonderful NOV on PP, I just got one lousy pp which is 0.28...lolololol ;D

if i got 40k plus 100k, I wont spend a piece of those to buy any equipments to show off , i will go to travel around the world rather than shot fighter jets, i would like to live in peace  ;D

I think the OP was only meaning the blue bits, i.e. sales directly out of iStockphoto.

Exactly.

hi,I find most of your files on IS are set to 1 credit, so your IS sales commissions might be lower than PP sales?right? :-\

Strange month. In the things I thought I'd never say category, CanStockPhoto out earned SS...
Lackluster month for me, except for CanStockPhoto. It was my 3rd best site for Nov, outselling both 123RF and Fotolia by over $100 each - that never happened before. CanStockPhoto was way above its sales for Oct 2013 and Nov 2012. A BME by over $50.
Canstock treats us fair, every time i saw those 5, 2.5 commssions there, that let me think about how come our works can get such high prices and commssions on Canstock but others can't?why??????

you had better forget everything including stocks when if you passed away...lol
life is pain,passing away means relief, no more pain of worrying about sales declining..lololol ;D

no problem at all with conversation, I am "used" to receive/send emails regarding photography clients/other, I just wanted to know more details, nice to see sales at Symbio!

good.. :)

but don't expect many conversations with symbiostock buyers unless you like to bother customers yourself and send them emails :D 

%99 of times, they just buy and disappear..

Thats really cool to hear. I'm ignorant regarding Symbiosales unless people speak up. I make a few sales a week - I sold a collection the other day for 60+ dollars. I'm quite certain there's quite a  few illustrators and photographers getting sales and keeping quiet.

very cool , is there any simple and fast direction to join this? thanks ;)

Go to "Thinkstock.com" and search on your name -- first name - last name -- in in single quotes;
'firstname lastname'
You can see the count of your images.  Not sure if that is what you mean?

As an aside, there seems to be an active effort to transfer all files -- both old files and new.
I've had over 50 transferred in last two days.

why i only saw a small part of my files into TS?apparently, IS didnt transfer all my files into TS >:(

Canstock used to be the strong middle tier, but from last some months, it went down..i hope it will come back some days because of their easy uploading and smoth communiction with contributors

If I'm an exclusive in IS, and I have same image but shooted by two cameras, and I send one to IS another to others, is it allowed?

What if the images are similar (from the same shoot of the same model) but not exaclty the same. e.g defferent posse and angles? Can you submit different photos from the same shoot as an 'exclusive' image to different sites like cutcaster, fotolia, dreamstime, istock etc. a couple to each site?

yes, lol..especially for IS EX...
like Lius pointed out that some guys even used same models( defferent posse and angles), same post editing skills, lolol, but they just ignore it, a  big joke for IS  ;D

A You can disable all files approved more than six months ago at any time. You are allowed to disable 30% of files uploaded in the recent six months however 70% must be kept online for six months from their approval date. You can disable the remaining 70% after six months pass. Once the files are disabled, nobody is able to view/access them, except for you. The files will remain in our offline database for 12 months until all liabilities (refunds, potential copyright infringements, etc) concerning them are cleared off, then they are automatically deleted.

The account cannot be closed until the above requirements of the contract expire. Accounts with activity (license/download) cannot be deleted, as they can be referenced internally in regards to past licensing. However, they can be blocked from public access. More account closure details can be found in our Terms and Conditions.

why could IS allow contributors still having massive files on other sites to be its ex memeber?thats totally unfair to us

"and for what we know he could also produce and resell photos for other image factories !"
so all we can be the ex of IS and then produce some craps to other sites???????????
as i did the observation, some guys did it as i told, using multi-id to be ex on iS and produce other files to other site, i guess they all learn from yuri...lololol ;D

i don't think he's gonna fire anyone, his goal could be to create a 1 million images portfolio so he might hire another 100 guys if needed.

you all think his belly is full but i've the feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg, the deal with getty allows him to produce expensive shots for getty and leaving the cr-ap for istock and thinkstock, win-win scenario.

can you show me how different he creates for getty and crap for is or thinkstock? as i can see there is no different yuri create for the expensive or cheap. just people ,people ,people.......
