General Stock Discussion / Re: Yotola (Scam?)

Hi Rui, we found your phone number in the registrar details of your stock photography website, which was publicly available. We felt it was better to call you in person rather than sending an email. Apologise if there was any inconvenience. As we are starting up we wanted to add that personal touch to our contributors.

what is the point of inviting an exclusive contributor? (not to mention an admin/reviewer of DT)

guess you are in the wrong topic! :D
He is in the correct topic alright - we're just not drunk enough to read it properly  ;D

I will be during/after Portugal match Sunday  ;D

Still wondering how you got my personal phone number just to invite me. Not wise, and clearly you're starting with the wrong foot. But that's a first, have to admit it. ???

how hard can it be? do you share your phone number in FB or G+? only need to be your "friend" ;D

Steve Gerrard, Gerrard
He'll pass the ball 40 yards,
He's big and he's * hard,
Steve Gerrard, Gerrard

ahah great match, just want more goals :D

If Gerrard didn't have to play as a defensive midfilder you'd surely see more. But without Rooney it's going to be tough

he is there just not in the field

Bigstock.com / editing multiple images BUG
« on: June 15, 2012, 14:44 »
Hi guys, there a few contributors uploading to BigStock so I want to let you know that there is a bug while editing multiple images, when you are adding categories, it will keep what you have choosen but if you dont submit them straight away they will have automatically categories added which doesnt make much sense once it should have kept the ones you have selected leaving other empty, hope I have made myself clear

had a few rejections because of unproper categories so I was wonder why, just found it..

how can they profit more with a newbie/low contributor until gold ranking? they just cannot!

I am not questioning the best match around FT and DT which have certainly changed, havent affected me but I am a small corner (silver), that said emerald contributors can increase their pricing and that is making sure FT will earn more money too even with higher % royalties

SILVER (25%)
XS - 1 - 0.25$ (FT 0.75$)
S - 3 - 0.75$ (FT 2.25$)
M - 5 - 1.25$ (FT 3.75$)
L - 7 - 1.75$ (FT 5.25$)
XL - 8 - 2$ (FT 6$)
XXL - 10 - 2.5$ (FT 7.5$)
EL - 100 - 25$ (FT 75$)

EMERALD (37%)
XS - 2 - 0.74$ (FT 1.26$)
S - 6 - 2.22$ (FT 3.78$)
M - 12 - 4.44$ (FT 7.56$)
L - 16 - 5.92$ (FT 10.08$)
XL - 20 - 7.4$ (FT 12.60$)
XXL - 24 - 8.88$ (FT 15.12$)
EL - 100 - 37$ (FT 63$)

(1$ per credit)

IMO I think FT just noticed that those high priced files arent selling as much as they want and think that lower files will cover that lose, I dont think they are doing it to be more fair with newbie or lower contributors, are they losing money? looks like...!

I also know that there are many top contributors having a big part of their portfolio at the lowest price so this move is kind of confusing and risky

this is just great!

1 - they tell you that nobody is buying pictures, they are getting them on google, free sites or even cleaning watermark
2 - the demand on pictures is HUGE
3 - buyer will get it for free but they will pay you 1 cent (money from ads)

why are we going to "sell" our work for 1 cent if we can get a ton more ::)

I am sure this wont go anywhere, perhaps only snappers shooting cats and dogs on PS cameras

Now you can earn money from your rejected and non-downloaded images on other microstock sites which is probably 2/3 of your images.

who . is doing stock if they get 67% of their pics rejected??

I believe that agencies arent sleeping but yes it would be hard to control an EL if we are independent

thanks guys for all answers!

Nice games - worth watching the championship.

Ireland is making the best of it. Great fans, they made that game an experience.

That's how all matches should be played: nice footie and great atmosphere. Superb entertainment.

well said! Ireland folks are so kind with such great fair play, gotta be the niciest people I ever met

3893
Indeed, they have the finest players, hell it's Barca without Messi, and those that are missing (Marcello, Alves etc) are substituted with the likes of Ramos etc. I dislike their Barca like game of thousand passes, but they're still a bit more pleasing to watch than Barca and there's a lot more action in from of the goal, long distance shots from Alonso etc. Torres's first and Fabregas's goal were spectacular.

Croatia was saved by the ref, Di Natale wasn't off side when he had a clear path to the goal and we all know what would have happened.

I remember Spain supporters thinking if Torres was really needed, sure he is but yes Spain could have 2 or 3 left and still very strong, incredible team they could have scored 7 or 8 not "only" 4...

3894
We're finally watching some fine football. Both today's matches were great

they were very good, agree! Ireland was crashed, incredible how they have kept singing even losing, Ireland rocks out :)

Spain showed again why they have won last CUP, what a team!

It doesn't look like the kind of book that could sell 500.000 copies.

ahah I agree :)

It doesn't necessarily need one.  It depends on how many prints of the book that they do.

yep I know but how can we know that?
Depending on the rules of the agency it was bought from, but e.g. at iStock it's a ridiculous half million, and very few books have that print run. However, it might make the best-seller list.  :D

right, its almost impossible to know which agency sold that file unless I contact the book publisher and wait for their reply, just crazy I guess lol
