xaxaxaxa so let me get this straight your photo was in the book cover of a book that became a worldwide success more than the twilight crap series and it made millions and you only god 400? ? ARE WE SERIOUS HERE???
and the most pathetic lets put the money aside here of all, where is the credit for the photographer?Photo by michael something
welcome to microstock
My photo was used in a math book and I earned like cents. It doesn't really matter (legally) if the book is a bestseller or not

For the first time in January Canva became my best earner in front of SS, and this despite having a couple of good footage sales on SS.
I don't understand why Canva is not even in the middle tier agencies.
Are you specialized in backgrounds?

Sometimes they just don't accept laptops that you "know" they are from Apple. Try erasing some keys but maybe it is going to be rejected again...?

All boils down to your subject matter
If you shoot generic or American style subjects you'll get US sales.
Shoot mostly European centred stuff you'll get mostly European sales etc...
I also saw the pictures and thought they had a very "Arabian architecture" style (??), maybe because of that

For me 4/10 were from the US but I usually get more from other countries. In istock I have sales mostly from the US.

Decent month here:
SS: Avg as things picked up in last week
AS: Nice month
IS: Jan not calculated but dec was good
AL: Bad, many refunds
123RF: Not good, much down than previous month
DT: Avg
SS same. Very good. AS less than December. Istock good according to approx number of downloads. BS better than before too. The rest very bad. Canva and DP the worst.

The big problem I see there is the volatility of every cryptocurrency, there's a huge risk $1 commission to become 1 cent just in one night.
Or $10...

1) They call themselves a platform and not a stock agency, so contracts are directly between the buyers and photographers.
Not so. Wemark License Agreement http://cdn.wemark.com/agreements/Wemark_Standard_License.pdf
1. INTRODUCTION
a) This Wemark License Agreement (License) is a binding contract between you or the employer or other entity on whose behalf you are entering into this agreement ("you" or "Customer") and Wemark Digital Ltd. (Wemark). It sets forth the rights and obligations of you and Wemark with respect to any Images licensed from Wemark by you. By downloading any image from any Wemark website, you are consenting to the terms of this agreement, the Wemark Privacy Policy and Wemarks Platform Terms of Use which are incorporated herein and made a part hereof by this reference.
Indeed. I think the "Impress" is more direct but the standard Go is like subs

A view weeks ago, i uploaded 10 images (as new contributer), still pending
Run from that agency. You can read multiple threads in this forum related about how they stopping reviewing

I've received an email about Wemark being live.
Just had a look and it seems that they will pay contributors in Wemark Tokens...
Does anyone understand how we can convert these to real money? :s
It depends on your country. But if someone here is expert in blockchain it would be cool to know. Or only places that accept ETH directly?
Thanks, I might give them a few photos as a test and try to understand how it works along the way.
Would be great indeed if someone could explain more about blockchain and changing these currencies into real money.
Bitcoin has been successful in the past, so maybe they will also be? who knows. Or maybe it's a scam and I'll never see these photos back 
I don't think they are a scam. They are backed by some big companies in Europe and have a lot of money to make startups based in crypto.

They spent way to long with my images on hold. I think it was over a year. They are simple not transparent on their terms. Mostly just a gut feeling they are not here to stay. I deleted over 2000 images, maybe a mistake but made me fell warm and fuzzy to delete and get away.
Understandable. Let's see what happens next with them.

Closed my account with these folks. I do not trust this company.
Why?

0,27 cento to 0,95.....how much are commission...really people are so desperate to contribute with any bshit that opens its door?
ibeing a photographer is not a medical prescription...
Commission is 100% for that "Go" license. So it's like every other agency. If you apply for selling "Pro" licenses you can sell EL until 500 usd.

It depends on the rejection reason and the agency...

Canva for me is a consistent agency along the time I've been working with them
What about this month?

Anyone has solution for this? How do you export videos for istock? Thanks

Thanks everyone for you have provided. We have been discussing ways to make the portal more intuitive and as easy as possible to navigate and to get the information you want.
A top feature for years has been for the aggregate total of earnings for individual assets. With the new feature added we have provided that information but understand that as a result it created an extra navigation burden to you.
I want to keep you in the loop on what we are working on right now. In the not-too-distant future, when you navigate to the insights page and select a drop down option you will not have to click the "display statistics" button. The new data will automatically populate when you select the option you want. The display statistics button will remain a click requirement when you change the date range.
In addition, the system will remember what you last viewed and will set that as your default each time you visit the insights page. If you are looking at the current activity when you close out the page, the activity stats will be the default the next time you visit.
I don't have an exact timeline for you but I can assure you this is a priority. I'll keep you updated as I learn more.
-Mat Hayward
Thanks Mat.... would it also be possible for the number of downloads to be displayed along with the Earnings for each file?
Also, keyword/s used to find the file would also be very useful..... thanks for the keeping us updated!
What about views? Even istock has them...

Microstock is not about making sense, it is about minimising time spent and maximising returns.
That's a good point. Have to change the mind to this, minimize the wasting of time.
Well, with copy and paste maybe it is not a great waste of time I guess. Gonna try a short date format (mm/dd/yy or dd/mmm/yy).
I don't like how the title shows, I mean, I like the description before the place and date for search engines and quick review for the buyer. That's the main reason why I didn't use the date in other agencies but SS and BS.
But, I use to see the date in all the editorial pictures, that's the reason for my question. When you spend hours and hours with this your mind is always searching for mistakes in all what you do. That's my problem really. Have to focus and improve the using of my time.
Thank you for all your answers.
I also upload all editorial or all commercial batches. If you mix a submission of some photos between one and another you are going to spend more time selecting which one is editorial or not and editing titles, etc
Oh yeah, another good idea, plus some sites, Editorial, commercial, illustrations, video, whatever else, all go to different review teams. Might as well make my batches all one type just for my tracking, instead of mixed.
Indeed. And also with without releases... I upload batches of ten with similar topics: nature, architecture, objects, etc.

I understand that the view is different if you are in this for years.
I don't have perspective yet.
I am 8 months old. I have a love-hate relationship with iStock.
