@Wilm,Ralf:
Thank you, now I get it too :)

Probably it was just an unfortunate coincidence that exactly after the day of the >1000 downloads suddenly 1.06 sales came in.

Nice when you can ask a community :-)

Hi Michael,
the 0,66, 0,99 and 26,40 remain the same - no matter what level you have reached. As far as I remember only the small sales are concerned.
I had suspected something like that, but wasn't sure.

What puzzles me is that since I have >1000 downloads rank sales at 1.06, which were previously 0.99 - but maybe that doesn't apply to extended licenses.

« on: February 08, 2022, 08:26 »
Maybe someone of you can help me to understand how the calculation of sales works when you just got to >1000 downloads level.

Since the beginning of February I have reached 1000 downloads and since then the percentage on small sales has also increased from 0.33 to 0.36.
- for some larger sales it is now 1.06 (instead of 0.99 before), for other sales it is still 0.99?
- today an extended license came in, which was charged with 26,40 like the 0,33 rate. Shouldn't this license with the >1000 downloads account bring 28.80 (26.40 / 0.33 * 0.36)?

Or have I overlooked something here?

Thank you, Michael

I just got the information that the DeepMeta Version 3.22.0 is out.
After installing that version, the error disappeared.

Thanks, good to know we are not alone with that problem :-)

iStockPhoto.com / DeepMeta Error: Could not parse server response
« on: February 05, 2022, 15:44 »
Hello,

has anyone else recently (2 days) got the error "Could not parse server response" in DeepMeta? (see screenshot)
My login data is all correct (double checked) but due to this error I can't upload anything new....

Maybe someone has a good tip, support doesn't seem to get back to me for now - waiting a bit for response.

Thanks, Michael

Shutterstock.com / Re: 10 cent SODs?
« on: January 26, 2022, 10:52 »
Have you seen an increase in 10 cent sales under the SOD category?  I've had five single and other category sales for 10 cents this month.  I have not seen that before.  Something new this year? What's with that?
I had 9 of those SoD $0.10 sales in Sep'21 - Dec'21 (5x september, 1x october, 1x november, 2x december)

So it doesn't seem to be new for 2022, but before Sep'21 I never had such a sale.

Just checked my 2021 earnings (photos + videos):
- IStock: 24.18%
- ShutterStock: 20.14%
- AdobeStock: 17.42%
- Pond5: 9.46%
- Dreamstime: 4.81%
- Alamy: 2.54%

Actually IStock was my best agency in 2021 for the first time - seems my numbers are a little different...

My numbers for Dec'21 - I didn't count that connect "pay per view" stuff:
- Photo (regular) RPD: $0.90 - 42 sales, 1 high sale $22
- Video (regular) RPD: $6.89 - 20 sales, 2 high sales $42 and $55

iStockPhoto.com / Re: Views versus sales, what is your ratio
« on: January 19, 2022, 08:36 »
My "view to sale" ratio in the last 30 days was about 13% (35 sales, 266 views)
-> VtS -> 13% :)

Alamy.com / Re: Alamy sale for 7 cents
« on: January 17, 2022, 18:21 »
Checked my sales from 01.July 2021 until today:
-> 49 sales for a sum of $121,32 (this is the sum alamy got)

This is an average of $2,48 per sale - to get the $250 threshold (and the 40% rank), it would need 101 sales per year.

So 7 or 8 sales is just a very bad joke...

I hope everybody is having a good Sunday!!
Thanks :-) You too!

January is starting very slow this year... SS 10 downloads, AS 6 downloads.
That way below the numbers I had in other months.

« on: January 01, 2022, 08:00 »
Had another 20 sales for $0.04 on 31st Dec...

This drops my RPD for 2021 to: $1.71 ($5.08 in 2020)

« on: December 31, 2021, 06:18 »
Had 11 of those $0.15 ($0.04) sales today too.
Alamy is definitely microstock with those sales and even below Shutterstock with those sales.

And yes, complaining here won't change anything - and complaning anywhere else won't change anything too...

Hello thijsdegraaf,

my 3 highest photo sales in 2021 were...

1. $40.58 - 09. Feb 2021: https://www.shutterstock.com/de/image-photo/modern-office-building-facades-glass-reflecting-1543720496
2. $29.85 - 27. Sep 2021: https://www.shutterstock.com/de/image-photo/beautiful-pink-purple-infrared-panorama-european-1495086146
3. $16.99 - 12. Jul 2021: https://www.shutterstock.com/de/image-photo/detailed-close-view-on-water-surfaces-1829792567

Highest sale ever was a $80.00 in late 2019: https://www.shutterstock.com/de/image-photo/orange-sunset-clouds-on-blue-sky-1188915043

I never hat any sale with '3 digits', but I am only a small contributor without any people images :)

iStockPhoto.com / Re: Huawei phones
« on: December 25, 2021, 10:40 »
So, you do believe a photographer, who needs expensive equipment these days to produce a decent photo, can buy that camera and lenses but cannot buy a cheap-ass Iphone or Samsung.
Hmmm....
Let me send a "Hmmm..." too - I didn't say anything about things I do or don't believe.

What I said is that noone needs such advice, which is a fact and nothing else. So, merry X-mas and have fun :-)

@UnclePete:
Yes, a tablet should work too and I think using a smartphone emulator (like MEmu) should be a possibility too (but with a little more effort)

@Disappear:
I have tried to register as a contributor without the app too, but it didn't work - after I finally got someone from the support, they told me there is no other way anymore.
So I used the phone of my wife to register.
After the registration process I can use the Deepmeta tool on PC to upload my stuff, so the smartphone is only needed to apply for a contributor account.

@ForReal:
Sorry, but such advice really no one needs... I guess I just do not understand such completely unproductive advices... that's maybe because I have no sense of humor at all ;-)

421
I did a small experiment today, with a smartphone image of a forest:
-> 3 crops of the same image and a 4th image with only some lightbeams on it
-> all 4 images were accepted in 2 submissions (2 images accepted each submission)

It seems some very similar images just get through...

... Unless you're seeing some reasonable number of high royalty sales to balance out this one-cent-wonder, why stay?
You are completely right - no reason to stay :-)

Yes, I have the same issues here - with images and video... something seems to be very wrong there.
