Not a great month in dollars. 
Once again SS is tops, bringing in 58% of the income.  This month was interesting.... not a lot of "big" sales, but individual downloads were way up - like 25%, when I looked back the last time I had more individual sales was November 2011.  Would have been an incredible month with SS if more of the sales were OD/SOD/EL!

I assume this is a buyer survey?

Doesn't it give you a warm and fuzzy feeling to know that the big MS Agent is so respectful of the measly little photographer.

Great advice Gostwyck. 

Rumors are going around that you are a witch because you went shopping with an acquaintance and every time you passed an advertising banner you went blank...  incanting strange words... Yuri.... Forgiss... Dolgachov...    Yuri... Chapple... Locke....

It comes up as 3 credits in ie.  Look at your second shot and note that it is a different size also.  Would this be a cache thing?

I stopped uploading to Featurepics when they announced a 2 year hold on photos.  Problem is unless I upload I will be grey before I hit payout.  I'm sitting at $39 and have only made $15.54 this entire calendar, most of that is from referrals - it's absolutely ridiculous.  I hate to walk away from ANY money but I can't wait to close this account.

SS sent a message that a "company that makes bread" was looking for a particular photo number and they asked if I would consider turning on SOD's until it was downloaded.  The pay would be $140 so yupp, I turned it on (and haven't turned it off since).  I wondered if it was the attached from Dunkin Donuts, but couldn't find the image used anywhere else with them.  Can't imagine why it would be $140 vs $28.  We don't have DD here, so I don't know if it was tied to a campaign or not.

It's a very good day when you wake up to $140 sales isn't it!  Have had plenty of reg sub value SOD's though too.

In Canada I had a similar problem with Istock. I claimed the income and then a month after taxes deadline Istock sent T5's with the statement of income.  I ignored it, but Rev Can adjusted not only my taxes but my husband's also and sent us invoices for overdue taxes and penalties.  All I had to do is phone (and sit on hold for half a day), print and complete a form (sorry Canadians, it was from another computer).   They explained that in future tax years, if this happens to include this form in with my package that I remit.

I know... different country.. different rules. But if Paypal sends the 1099's during your tax season, surely there must be a similar form from IRS that you complete and remit with your tax filing?  You really can't ignore forms like this, the gov always gets a duplicate and may work slowly - but you will surely hear from them.

Non-exclusive contributors: A non-exclusive contributor is an artist who uploads Media that are also available for sale with other stock agencies. These contributors may upload their Media to Dreamstime.com while selling the same Media through other channels. Non-exclusive contributors shall receive 25-50% of the net sale price received by Dreamstime.com for the Media they have contributed to the site which are subsequently sold by Dreamstime.com.

But... when you upload there is a tick box for exclusive vs non exclusive.  See if your friend has ticked non-exclusive.

...I only have had one large question....What happened in mar 2013 when, for years it was rock solid and only fluctuated a few dollars instead of hundreds of dollars, And I question this for one reason. why did it happen so quickly?

According to my poor notes-I quit Istock in March 2013.  It was over the free images deal.  A factor would be that I wasn't the only one - although I wasn't exclusive, they lost a lot of exclusives.

The picture is a night shot of a commercial street of Old Quebec decorated for Christmas time.  It is a reasonably unique image and the person said to me he want to have it enlarge 12' X12' and frame as a background windows for a TV show.  At first, he said it will be for one season but later on he said he might use the picture for many years and he would like to purchase the images for use in perpetuity

Does that mean it will still be Old Quebec in the show - Canadian television ain't Hollywood.  There is a lot less money in a Canadian budget.  If a show is picked up with an American network it likely won't be until after the 1st season.  Canadian dramas rarely last more than a season, although 1/2 hour comedies have been fairly successful.  "In perpetuity" means something quite different if it will portray an American background!
