Post a full size image if you�re going to rant about focus so we can see.

If you start today in Microstock and you wanna make 500,- a month I don't think it is possible with a few hundred images you need to be in the thousands. It's not all about sale-ability it's also about search rank in the agencies and with 300 million images at Shutterstock it's very hard to get a good search rank even with very good pictures.

I've been adding new content already. Shot a coronavirus curbside testing station the other day. A family in their yard and putting on masks. A family managing their chicken coup. Industrial shapes repeating. Also shooting stuff from briefs.

A little disappointing that I have around $10 in sales so far but I don't have much else going on right now. Occasionally I'm getting images that could work for my advertising portfolio. Like the husband and wife I shot in front of their home wearing designer face masks while he held a pitchfork, a play on the classic "American Gothic". May be too conceptual for stock but I think some of my advertising clients will get a kick out of it.

Thank you everyone for the helpful advice!

Are these all released?  If not, they sound a little invasive.  Plus a "designer mask" would need a release.

As long as the right volumes are pushed to agencies, we are good. Nothing to worry about. Money will also follow soon.

How inspiring.

There�s the problem.  A: there�s no way anyone can make 300 -good- and -useful- videos a day.  It�s just spamming the system.  To the detriment of all.

Absolutely, contact IS - they can see who downloaded them and investigate.

I love how �opting out� equals closing your account.

I pay unemployment, as I'm an LLC and have payroll.  However, whiles sales are down, I'm still "employed".  I'm not sure how to approach this.

This is a terrible idea, for reasons mentioned.  One day, you will not want to partner with this person, and then what?

They're both terrible this month.  Adobe moreso.

I got some nonsense rejection about my motion graphics clips being "pillarboxed", whatever that is.  Well, let's try again....

I figured that's what it meant, but anyone with eyeballs can see that's not the case.

Just got this:

1 - Wholly disagree!  Our templates look awesome and honestly if I didn't believe that, I'd cop to it.  Mogrts as a whole are doing awesome and answer a distinct need in the market.  That said, we do need one key feature and I've pushed for it and hope we get it this year.  We'll see.

I've tried to argue that forcing "responsive time" on each and every template is the wrong thing to do, as I try to provide the ability to adjust various timing elements in my templates, but I keep getting shut down.  I'd like responsive time to be used where it's appropriate and attributes to adjust timing where it makes it a more flexible template.

For example... If I have some live action video as an element, and a title that appears over it, I'd like to provide an attribute to say what frame the title appears, or how long it takes to appear.  Using responsive time, scaling the .mogrt down in Premiere, would make the live video run faster, which isn't the desired effect.  That's sort of a generic example.
