MicrostockSubmitter / Loading metadata, waiting time.
« on: December 01, 2013, 12:42 »
Hi friends,

have you a very long waiting time when Stock Submitter loading metadata ?

Every time I open the program or refresh it, I have to wait several minutes before it's ready.

Is there a solution to this issue ?

Thank you.

DepositPhotos / Re: New editor is not working properly
« on: January 29, 2013, 18:24 »
DP had one of the easiest editors in the stock world, but they have a hit and miss this time. The new editor is seriously not easy to work with. Its buggy and its a step backwards.

its not working properly.

I cant submit files with words that are not recognized by the system. It says the words are misspelled but they arent, but I cannot bypass this warning. I cant submit my images now.

the old editor was working like a charm.

Me too ...

   I have PP sales for 10, 11 and 12. Nothing in 1-9. I think they didn't add them. Anyone in this situation?

Adobe Stock / Re: Is FT rejecting everything?
« on: January 14, 2013, 12:27 »
My acceptance rate on FT is 86% (80% travel in my port) ... and it is better that my AR in SS (80%) and IS (76%).

Today, strange day ... 13 sales on FT and only 4 on SS (usually it's the opposite).

I like your analysis Steve, very comprehensive.

Sorry but I don't help you, i'm a newbie.

I uploaded my port in 8 agencies since jan 2012. 405 avg port and my Rpi in last three months was:

Oct 0,78$
Nov 0,59$
Dec 0,65$

No, regarding my latest 40 images:  37 accepted, 3 rejected. And the rejections were on my worst files.

I have some issue with IS and their "overfiltered" rejection. I upload few high quality images (i work hard in PS otherwise will not sell) but IS often want a snapshot quality ... FT want images with a lot of postproduction, IS don't want postproduction.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: The chart that says "unsustainable"
« on: October 04, 2012, 06:44 »

As my commission rate is 17% it seems reasonable to assume that a newbie will be getting about 6c per month per approved upload, but only 3c per month per upload if he has a 50% rejection rate. With initial upload limits of 5 or 6 per week, that works out to maybe 25 files per month getting uploaded, giving a yield of $0.75c in the first month $2.25 in the second month $3.75c in the third month, etc.  However, that could translate into no sales for a couple of months and then $5 all at once.

Even if he uses up his entire upload allowance every month, it is hard to see an average newbie getting to a payout within a year (whereas back in 2004 I was able to make $300 in six months).
 

I'm newbie and in IS this is my 9th month and I've got 2 payout.

My RPI (with PP) in July was 0,21 and 0,24 in August. (Port of 243 img).

I think that image quality is very important ... my worse picture don't sell ...

« on: September 19, 2012, 10:48 »
   I finally got a sale at IS. After 6 days. So it's site related, I don't know if it is a bug, but yesterday I've noticed I got some views after many many days without.

Yes, yesterday i've got three sales after 6 days and today another ... but IS has many bugs after recent update (zoom, lightbox ...)

General Stock Discussion / Re: Veer- High Rejection Rate
« on: September 08, 2012, 04:35 »
I stopped checking rejected images long time ago. It's good for my mental health. :-)
The only site where I check rejections is Shutterstock because their rejections have influence on my earnings. Rejections from Veer or Crestock don't change significantly anything except size of my portfolio.

+1 ... and lately SS has many strange rejections (grr..) ...
