Do you use indexing when submitting files on Fotolia?
When submitting normally you can choose important keywords to be on top, with indexing you just submit.
Is it still important to set keywords priority manually for every file?

If results are correct I will also have 1/3 of December earnings

Thank you very much for reply.

I have question about licence.
Do you know if you need extended licence for print on big outdoor billboard?
I'm not sure what 499,999 impressions mean?
Thank you for answear.

Can you show us your portfolio?

This year, my monthly RPD has varied from $3.72 in February (a relatively good number of downloads, no ELs) to $5.47 (relatively few dls, but 2 decent ELs)
February's total $$ was a lot more than September's.
I'm small fry, only on 30%.

Thank you for information, anyone else?

I have a question for exclusive (photo) authors on istock.
What is your RPD?

Hi,
every year when me and my wife are going on holiday I have problem with choosing right gear.
If you have:
canon fisheye
canon 35mm 1.4
canon 50mm 1.4
canon 135mm 2.0

Which one would you take with you?
I think taking them all is too heavy, maybe we will shoot few stock portraits that's all.

I think this week I will wait with uploads till thursday.

Try to upload every wednesday, it works for me.

Last time I uploaded on wednesday... I think there is no rule.

Hi,
do you have any idea how can I avoid having my files accepted on weekend?
It's so frustrating...

Do you have more money from PP or from IS?

Plus if you become exclusive on iStock, their images are cheaper than yours.

I'm not really sure if price is the main factor. I have made a test last months. I have put my best selling picture (isolated on white) to Photo+ collection after few months I have removed it to regullar collection. Number of sales are still very similar even it's cheapper now.

Anybody can put a model in the studio and take 50 pictures of her in different poses. Headset and laptop and all.
Or take a red rose from upside and down.
Wont work, has been done to death.

Last  200 Yuri's images are woman with laptop on white bg 
I think people on white are not the worst topic.

Hi,
thank you all for reply.

The bigest problem for me is to find models for every week session.
Right now I'm uploading about 24 images per week. I have few months for consideration about IS exclusive because of DT. If I woudl have to produce 90photos/week I will have to make it full time job.

Easily if you are full time.

I think I have to change something with my time management

Hi,
I was just thinking how many photos are you producing per week? I'm considering to try exclusive on IS and with silver level I could upload over 90 images per week.
Do you think it's possible for one person? I'm shooting people?

Hi,
yesterday I got the same PP sale 3x and the same prices.
