The site has not loaded for me for months. Glad I didn't bother submitting there.

I agree that Shutterstock is declining. I also agree that StockXpert is booming. I am constantly having BMEs there and this month, despite the holidays, is no exception. Keep up the good work StockXpert. If they were to introduce a nice exclusivity bonus like Istock has, that could be another possibility for the future. (And they aren't a bitch to upload to like Istock)

Zymmetrical.com / How are people doing here?« on: December 23, 2007, 21:32 »
I only have 5 files approved here, and when I search for them there is not much competition. So I am wondering how others are doing here? I haven't gotten a download yet, but again, only 5 files. I have had another 5 pending for a month now. ;\
Anyone get any sales? 432

General Stock Discussion / Re: 2008 Microstock Goals - What are yours« on: December 22, 2007, 11:20 »
Making $1,000/month by the end of 2008.
Have at least 1,000 submissions by the end of 2008. Hopefully that will work out. I have about 300 images now and make about $300 a month. 434

Crestock.com / Re: Crestock sales« on: December 18, 2007, 21:09 »I signed on with them a month ago but have yet to upload.... Maybe I'll see how this thread goes in the next couple days. Crestock is the easiest site to upload to. Just upload and click the 'select all' and submit buttons. It takes no real work. Certainly worth the time to upload in my opinion. They have been outselling Bigstock for me lately. 437
Shutterstock.com / Re: Feeding the Beast?« on: December 18, 2007, 21:04 »
My top seller on SS has only 100 downloads, worth $26.50. The same file has had 76 sales on StockXpert earning me $99.90. It is also my top seller on Istock, but since I have only been there a month now the stats are not comparable. I have noticed on StockXpert that when you get one off to a good start, it takes off like crazy. (The rating/comment exchange thread here has helped a few of mine take off)

General Stock Discussion / Re: Fractals on Microstock?« on: December 15, 2007, 14:41 »IS don't accept anything but photos unless you can make them look like they were taken with a camera or pass the illustration application. They must be losing out because other sites sell lots of illustrations that istock don't have. Yea, you might as well not even try with Istock. I have to jump through a lot of hoops to get my illustrations accepted. 439
Featurepics.com / Re: Anyone selling at Featurepics?« on: December 15, 2007, 09:02 »Oh, c'mon guys. I'm begging you...please give me a break about LO. It would be really nice to be able to talk about the site without folks casting a suspicious eye on me. I was just responding to Flemish Dreams' and the other comparison posts. He and I have had the exact opposite experiences with FP and LO for a long time, and I'm really interested in learning why my portfolio is doing so poorly at FP and okay at LO while others are having contrasting experiences. I'm not trying to bring FP down or promote LO...I'm simply trying to understand the differences and would like to participate in the discussion, if that's okay. Here is why you do good at LO: 1. Your a reviewer there. 2. When people from MSG and Talkmicro give up on LO they exchange their earnings for credits and buy ur images, since you actually get payouts. 440
Featurepics.com / Re: Anyone selling at Featurepics?« on: December 14, 2007, 20:43 »At LO, I've made almost 5x's as much in 16 months. You never miss an opportunity to promote LO. 441

So far a lot less than last month for me.

They accept just about everything as long as it does not have copyrighted material.

Bigstock.com / Re: Is anyone have sucess selling image on bigstock.« on: December 12, 2007, 16:34 »
Well last month was my BME there, but that isn't saying much. It only gets me about 2-4% of my total earnings.

Off Topic / Re: why not euro!« on: December 12, 2007, 15:34 »
Because most buyers and sellers are American. Majority rules.
