Ariene, you mean single sale like extended license or enhanced license for one image? Or monthly income?

One download of course!

On SS you can sell:
- subs. for cents (0,25 - 0,38$),
- enhanced for 28$,
- SOD from few bucks up to 120$ for one download,
etc.

More info here.
And here.

And I have mixed feelings too - you do great work on professional level and you sell it like amateur!  ;)

Who will respect your work more than you do? I mean if you stick patch of low pricing on your work people will treat you as cheap and that's only your choice. You have to good work in portfolio to say that you can't compete with micros... I can't understand it, sorry.
Btw, haven't you ever sell your work on shutterstock for 60-100$? I did, many of us did and looks like it's possible... But, if you feel your work is worth only $1-10, your decision. Just don't you ever tell the market is ruined, please. It will be ruined more and more if people do things like you do - selling cheaper and cheaper because they can not compete with pricing elsewhere.

May I ask, how will you compete now with other stock agencies selling from $1? "Buy royalty free stock from $1"
What will you offer to your buyers and to your photographers?
This is first question from us when agency beginns...

280
Why not?
There were some people saying that they are selling pretty well with much higher pricing. If it works, why not?

http://ezmediart.com/?aff=7677 is offering 99% at the moment and 70% in general.

99% ? They must really need new stuff... Did anyone sell anything here?

...  they told her that it was a third party company who processes payments and she'd have to contact them to yank her credit card. ...

It's hard to believe!  :o  ::) This is just unacceptable that agency site gets money from our cards and gives no option to opt out! I wish I new earlier...
Btw. I was just testing FAA paid account - in conclusion it was not worth the effort in my case. They say all this beautiful words how great they are etc... but it doesn't work for me and as I see, for many people in internet (photos).

283
A year ago I paid $30 for my account on FAA and sold nothing, zero so I'm not going to renew it in 2015. How can I do this? I mean FAA takes the money from my card. Is it enough if I delete card number or shall I contact them to cancel paid account. I understand all my images stay in gallery but they just will not be on sale (except 25 files), right?

And who is the king now? I still can't understand what happened to that big agency... For me they died in 2013. I left in Jan.2014 and now here's another proof I did not loose much and that was good decision.

Image search doesn't work properly.
Images are poor.
Site looks like not ready.
Pricing is some kind of joke...

Any luck with selling? I don't think so.

First thing I thought is P5 and Alamy get first places in Poll collumn... All I want is fair treating and satisfying pricing now.

Oh, and I hope I won't loose any more time on dozens of new dreamers - agencies with no money and no clients, promising miracles from nothing...

291
Nice work you do.
On the other hand I'm surprised - I thought this kind of work is more valuable than just 0,30$...

Nice idea, I really like and understand your point, but interesting... there are so many threads and posts about it, old subject, and U decided to open another one?

Few days ago I heard about Lik and told the story (big sale) to my husband. All he said: "why wouldn't he (Lik) buy this picture from himself or ask some friend to do so and give him money back, just to make the internet storm on his name, to get more fame, popularity?"

Next day whole internet started to think the same way... So, looks like he was not the only one who doesn't believe this amazing value and huge sale? ;) To be serious... This sale just doesn't make any sense... What kind of sale was that? What did buyer get? One and the only one print in the world? License, rights? Did he buy it from Lik or from another colector? Etc...

About images, they are ok... Many are fine or very nice but I've seen much more amazing images in galeries of photographers that are unknown and full of modesty...
Lik is good actor as well as photographer ;)

I'm selling new images, uploaded few days ago but yes, if they stay here for a long while, about a month, they sell much better.

« on: December 03, 2014, 16:11 »
They are doing some fixing after issues today but with other cases so maybe it touched upload as well. If you can, wait 1-2 days and clear cookies/cache, and then upload. Lately they are working hardly on improving things and some errors show up from time to time. After few days it usually comes back to work normal :)
