Envato / Re: How's your acceptance rate in Envato?
« on: May 07, 2014, 05:35 »
Dont worry!  is very usual.

For me Envato Photodune is 2%-3% with 50% portfolio...

I think Envato is best for Vector, music...

To add a few more numbers:

The smallest credit package on FT is 10 Credits, in Europe that costs 14 (can't see $ prices here).
That will buy you 1 (ONE!) XXL file (of white or bronze level contributor).

14 is roughly $19,30.

On DPC that buys you 19 XXL files (even those where the contributor has raised prices and that cost 36 credits on FT).

All they need to do is one mass e-mail to all their buyers and the credit business on FT will be dead almost instantly.
There is no case where buying with credits on FT will make (financial) sense to a buyer anymore.
Assuming the content is on DPC.

And that's not even considering the repercussions on the other agencies.

And my silver % of 19,30 is 2,50 (25% of 10 credit)... less than hateful IStock indie 15%

Exclusive killing the crown:

1. Before drop the crown, keyboard your photos and upload in all agencies will be interested

2 - when you finish your exclusivity you only have to give the button "submit for review" to the standby photos, yes you are in other agencies but with 0 active images (but 10000images waiting in the stock web unfinished images cloud with releases and actegories ready), same or other user name and respecting the exclusivity.

3 - do not pull the madness to kill the crown and then begin tagging and uploading photos. Make your plans carefully.

I just deleted a few more. Will probably do some more later too. Good to see that total going down on FT. Hope the American contributors can make a difference as the hours pass...
Hope this too, here in Spain i guess there are no many contributors with big or medium portfolios, and i think, most of them has no idea about all this. There is a lack of microstock community forums and information channels in spanish. My port had more than 1500 photos: Now there are around 1140. I will keep deleting to reducing it to 1000 probably. I know possibly i will feel it in my income but i rather prefer to protect my income from other agencies. And DCP, i think, is threatening those incomes.

Im from spain, im deleiting.

I speak in a forum about these.

I op out.

y earn in Fotolia 25% of my income

Next time fotolia actualize on line files will be 27 million

(vamos que un foro que haba de micro se desactiv por un virus y all no he podido... lo he mencionado en el hilo de venta de fotos de canonistas... pero en Espaa no somos muchos y los muchos son exclusivos de IStock)

MR FOTOLIA-MAN:

10 dollars is NOT a SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

Is BUY ten images for one image decent PRICE

Is kill On DEAMAND and CREDIT SALES

IS a own SHOT in FOTOLIA FOOT

Is easy to fix being a good deal:

1 month 100 dollars

one year 999 dollars...

One image Ten Dollars

EL 50$? good...

With these solution, many people continue buying credits and on demand images... and i opt in...

This forum is hostile when someone from an agency consider us fools. 

People who want to buy many pictures purchase a large subscription and invests a lot of money.
  those who want or few photos, buy credits and pay a demand for a higher price ..
The proposed treatment with DPC fotolia destroy demand and condemn us all to hell commissions of 0.30.
When that happened only will upload photos of my feet on the beach.

I'm already out of DPC and ready for erase many pictures 05/01/2014.

Shutter has two options to combat DPC:

announce exclusivity I'd see no wrong. (mass exodus)
Create crap like the dollar photo club ... by Bigstock

This Monday is like a Sunday... for me ...

Shutterstock effectively manipulates our sales to the floor with a shameful art: Approve 200,000 new photos every week.

I have prepared a counter attack with my cat 200,000 photos next week ...

I think the monkeys trained to make monthly economic accounts of PP with fingers will revolt when they know they must also calculate sales by subscription... and we will return money back

A lot of similar images with correct technical quality.

The key is they are from Ukraine, cheap models and Cheap salaries.

Try Do it in France, Usa, Germany and sale from 0,38....

317
In seconds i found 16500 images in shutter writting "african family" and 76600 images writting "african man".

Is not hard.

Getty published new rate comisions:

Free blog images:

Exclusives 20% of a crap

Not exclusives 15% of a crap (by getty 360)


319
awesome images available ... for 0.25 to 0,38?

320
A good month in Deposit  is a bad day in Shutter.

DP need learn a lesson.


321
I kicked and cried. I have regretted and I have made the relevant jokes

must act now: I asked to close my account.


322
If we still have our pictures there is because we are stupid and we deserve the 1% commission and we like spanking.

Right now I run to buy a subscription of your photos on Shutterstock. These photos I sell them on my own website to my 20 euros, you will have 025-38 dollars and me 19, 60-70 euros .... this is business and not take pictures

323
Shutterstock: 73827837283 new images added per week

« on: January 21, 2014, 06:14 »
Subscriptions?...  this really is: sell photos XL on demand for a dollar, not a real subscription.

 Our work is like a crap for Fotolia "the microstock Titanic"

when you spend more time looking lens, forums and sales statistics than taking pictures.
