The day after all I sold 5 timorese pictures. Don't really get the logic.are those 5 sales justifying your and your reviewers effort financially? How can you possibly answer that until the images have been on sale for a lot longer? 4053

You only tend to hear about the top 1% not those working for days on photoshop and still being criticised by the bride and groom for not turning Shrek and Fiona into Cinderella and Prince Charming. 4058

I think there are a very small number of wedding photographers who can make $$$$$ I think it has more to do with marketing and interpersonal skills than anything else - which rules me out

People should think twice what to upload there and what not that would be enough. Is the correct answer ;-) 4061
Adobe Stock / Re: Strange statistics from Fotolia« on: October 19, 2015, 03:30 »
I don't take any notice of views as they seem inconsistent site to site and I don't know how they are derived.....maybe they've changed the way they measure them....when I did look at views I remember fotolias plummeted when they changed from counting when they appeared on a search page to when they were zoomed (I think).

It would of been a huge gamble but I think it would of worked. Maybe that's one reason why he isn't popular here? There was something he could of done to help most of us and I don't blame him for going exclusive but can't help but think we could all be much better off if he had taken full advantage when he was at his peak of popularity with contributors and buyers. Think he's probably too much of a control freak took the much riskier step of employing people giving more control. What makes the Business model great for SS is that the suppliers bear nearly all the risk. 4065

I can understand not wanting to waste time uploading to low selling agencies but can't see where the hassle is in keeping your port active. Maybe I'm an optimist but I always think maybe one of those low selling sites will start to do well for me - in one case (which shall remain nameless it has

Tired of having to email them every time to actually get them reviewed. In the long run it does no harm to have them sitting there a while......I do currently have quite a few sitting in the queue.

Thats the point I don't think we all get judged in the same way......opinion I know but I doubt the sheer volume of complaints from some very capable people is because they have suddenly become less comptetent. 4072

"To make things worse, every single buyer of a Shutterstock image loads that image into an Adobe program at some point. Adobe basically has their straw straight down into Shutterstocks customer list." Do they? Is this not equally true or otherwise for every other site out there?
