I am not sure if BS will add anything to your sales. Most people I know dont have a lot of sales, little to none. I know a few lads with ports the size of about 2000 and above images  and not hitting pay out every month. Nothing to do with the quality of the port imo as these guys have been around for ages and their ports do well elsewhere.

I am not saying dont add to BS, but the return might not be worth your time. Their editing and submitting system is a bit cumbersome compared to SS,  123RF and CanStockPhoto but a lot quicker then FT.

SS has the Bridge to BigStock program, where you upload all your images to SS and once approved they go to both SS and BigStock.  It eliminates the step of uploading to both sites.
Only the few elites have that, I dont have it, and I cant get it either. Its on invite, and probably only if they think  your port is worth it.

would be interesting to know how they "worth it", my earnings on BigStock are like 40-50x less than SS, BigStock made 2.5% of what SS have done (all time), they were my 14th best agency in 2011

Do they only take Iphones?

If so they are biased and discriminating against anyone who isn't using an Iphone. ;D

from what I have read they are working on an android version

Yeah, it really looks like an xbox controller. There are still active product shots of game controllers on first pages and mine was there more then 6 months - I thought that everything is ok. That joypad was 50% of my earnings and i got first flame on it. :)
Guess I have to move on. :) Thanks guys!

seriously, report the other, I would

Oh...my joypad was on first page when it's searched by 'joystick'. There is one or couple of them similar as mine (with removed logo)  also on first page and they are still active. I'm confused

you can always report them :D
And a year or so later they might be rmoved.  ;)

or the next hour like we see sometimes here :D

congratulations Tyler, nice job!

almost 4 months I don´t upload there but still having BME one after another, perhaps I should forget the 16% and upload ;D

I am not feeling the drop in sales in FT but its so curious how agencies can change or do whatever they want and us contributors will be the only ones having problems once our share is so ridiculous small, agencies OTOH with 80%, 85%, 75% share they can take the risk and still have their pockets full ;D

one day they value top contributors, other new contributors, other continuous uploading, other their own pockets with cuts

in the end we are just getting more confused and concerned regarding our future earnings... its a lot of fun!

IS down down

FT =
DT down

I've been working with meat recently. There is no way that burger, even if it's just seared lightly, will remain juicy looking. Give it a few minutes and all that nice looking juicy shine is dried up. Something has to be added. Most likely oil, corn syrup, or glycerin.

What law says they have to use real food? Lot's of cereal companies would be guilty of breaking it...
The truth in advertising laws in the US at least state that the item being sold must be real. So if you are doing a hamburger the meat must be real.

the meat from Mac ain´t real?

3743
I believe they will lower pricing but they could have said that in just a few words, at least it looks like they are willing to share what they talk in their brunches :D

saw the bios pages too on the pdf version, those guys will never be without a job with all that background ;D

Users upload raw photos (no Instagram), tag them (the more the better), and wait for approval. If approved, the photos go on the Foap Market for $10 each, with $5 going to the developers and $5 going to the user.

Since launching less than a month ago in the Nordic countries the app has had over 10,000 downloads and over 40,000 images uploaded

Does this work for everyone? I have it saved as a bookmark. 22 cent EL? I have to wait to see what's going on.

Or do you have to enter you own user number the first time?


nop, it works! its goes directly to your id but it doesn´t change the url

General Stock Discussion / Re: Oseeris - Stock Images Search
« on: June 28, 2012, 14:24 »
I found some of my key images there through Media Bakery with attribution to my name. I presume it's one of those partner arrangements with IS, SS or DT.
I did a couple of searches where I have an 'istockwhack' and didn't find my images, so either they're not (yet?) iStock affiliates or not all images are indexed. Not at all impressed with their search, which was throwing up all sorts of irrelevancies.
Did find out about the existence of loads of agencies I'd never heard of, though.

me too 341
