The most important point to remember with Shutterstock is that Jon Oringer and his side kick Stan Pavlovsky are ripping you off.

Whatever you are making, they are stealing a vast amount more than you are getting in cash.

Just like with every other company in the world?

no Stocksy is different and Adobe has to care for photographers to some extent because they are one of their main customers especially if they don't do any stock but a further devaluing of pictures is something no photographer wanna see

Haha I made another sale this time 0.01 US-Dollar lol, what a pathetic agency..............

ha ha

I made a $40 the previous month

Oh wow how many pictures do you have with them and do you have these sales regularly? Once I had also sales in this range but this is years ago. Not worth my time anymore!

In Microstock I will concentrate on Adobe the upload process with automated keywording is really good and Adobe seems to be a lot fairer as SS. The others with exception of SS are really not worth the effort anymore.
But most effort I will put in Stocksy and Arcangel I'm really tired of the low prices at Microstock my goal for 2022 is to get an additional 1000 images accepted at those two sites.

I'm so happy that I removed all my content from Deposhit long ago, they have always been fishy and certainly not worth the uploading (sales-wise)

HOLD IT TO THE END.


I have sold before the crash in the morning.

a few days earlier you recommended an inexperienced fellow artist to buy and hold it to the end and now you are bragging that you sold it just right before the downfall, there is only one word to describe people like you: make your own conclusions but I've made mine!

You clearly don't know what a Ponzi scheme is saying crypto in general is a Ponzi scheme is like saying gold is a Ponzi scheme, of course some of the cryptos needed to be avoided so you need to do a full research before investing in one but you don't understand neither the technology nor the power or the idea of a decentralized finance system. Crypto has mighty opponents because it takes power away from the banksters and the governments but the genie is out of the bottle and there is no way back. You are right that for a huge part of the population the blockchain technology at the moment doesn't mean anything it's the same with internet 25 years ago the internet doesn't mean anything to a huge part of the population. It is still early days in crypto so where will a lot of rewards for the people to jump in early it will remain highly volatile for the time being but it will succeed.

But they do suck! Actually they suck big time! A billionaire with a thin skin lol he could afford some courses but it's easier to deny the truth!

uuh no Doge doesn't have good tokenomics hold Ethereum, BTC or ADA but not Doge, one wallet holds about 20% of all Dogecoins you are just making a rich person richer, you can speculate with doge that's okay if you know what you are doing but don't hold!

Eyeem now only 35% commission when did this happen? This means that in reality it is 7% commission as by far most sales actually still come from Getty so from the 20% of Getty that they receive we only get 35% that means only 7% effective commission this sucks big time!!

Thanks Mat could you notify us  here in the forum when the emails with the code have been send out? Thanks in advance!

if I qualify for a free creative cloud subscription through stock sales with them, what are the next steps? Thanks in advance!

With Eyeem you got mainly sales via Getty that did results in a 10% commission.(20% Getty and from that 50% from EyeEm)
Now they claim that they are not sustainable and so the reduce the commission even further.
I actually liked them in the past now they I can clearly say they suck big time!
