I'm Very sad !

Understandably - I wonder if there are any exceptions for sole proprietors? I thought sanctions were to be imposed on high level officials?

Apparently Adobe's interpretation is broader than some other companies' - perhaps they'll change their view of what's needed to comply?

It is so in theory, but the sanctions extend beyond. Companies like Adobe restrict their use and sale of software to all Venezuelans, whether or not they are from the government. it must be because they have no way of knowing who belongs to the government of Nicolas Maduro and then restricts all Venezuelans so as not to have problems with the United States Government.

It's sad this situation, "due to the recent Presidential Executive Order in the United States (Executive Order 13884) regarding activities with the government of Venezuela, Adobe is no longer permitted to provide you with access to software and services, or to make your Works available to customers."

I'm Very sad !

I'm experiencing the opposite situation. Even tho my portfolio is half editorials.

When did Adobe Stock start accepting editorial material?

Good month to me. I'm quite surprised with istock.

Define a "good month" please

S/he just said a good month for him/her.
It's all relative.

Second month there, about 25 USD. Should say "good" better than good.

Agencies as Adobe are dead for me after 10 months.

Last month i earn in just one photo sold in Adobe Stock 23,76 �, everything is relative. I don't upload more to GI/IS due to the 15% rate it's very few.

GI/IS pay to me 15% rate per image. It's a lttle low.

we have reached this level of poor image quality in ss?
why?
how?

can somebody explain?

first this puppet who believe to be a master of photography while he doesn't have a clue what is talking abut...7000 of snapshots repetition technically applying images...asomebody who earn probably 20 dollar month and claim to be a super expert...

then i read this indian miracle

https://forums.submit.shutterstock.com/topic/97689-are-people-really-earning-from-the-shutter-stock/

one dollar and he cannot believe why only one dollar?

can somebody explain why ss is accepting this stufff if not they want only sell images paying 0,25 cent instead 0,38?
personally i m getting ashamed to collaborate to a company who accept this stuff.

People believe to earn money from microstock is easy.

On one of my latest sales reports, I received $0.00 for one of my images. What's up with that? Is IStock giving away some of our content for free?

I have two sell earnings $0.00 per download.

Were these from early on in ESP?

If so, these were tests, not actual sales.
If not, why not contact them to find out more?

Look at the attached image, this is awesome!

Are they going to pay that or what

Im having the worst nightmare to close dreamstime account. I have never sold anything consistently in that site and they are telling me that will take 6 months to close the account. What can I do? I need to be exclusive with another agency really soon and need to close this account. Any thoughts?

How many dollars did you  earn in Dreamstime each month?

You seem to be asking this question about how much people earn in various agencies quite often.

How much do you earn?

Hi , very few. About $ 30 Shutterstock, $ 18 Fotolia and $ 3 Dreamstime.

You could always contact Alamy contributor services to find out why. Most likely its a distributor sale.

It's still better than 25 cents and you often get higher values.  I had a net sale of $400 just yesterday.

As to tagging well every image should be keyworded before uploading it saves a lot of time

How many dollars do you earn in Alamy.com? i wonder someone earn $400 there.

What kinds of images could be sell on Alamy?

Really?! Why don't you find out for yourself? In this day and age where everybody complains about falling sales, "slices of pie" shrinking to everyone due to competition, etc, do you really think people will tell you their secrets so they get even less sales?

Honestly, why don't you put your bank account number here so we can all start sending you money. Would save a lot of time for everybody.

Slow down. He didnt asked which images are selling in your port of anyones. He just asks what kind. Answer would be for example travel photos... editorial photos. Dont look always for a reason to blast around. This forum is becoming worse and worse.

Thanks

I have image on Sthutterstock, Fotolia,Istock,Dreamstime,123Rf and Alamy. In all of them i have sells, but not in Alamy, why?

I would probably guess its down to insufficient keywords or inaccurate keywords

That and they are not the type of images Alamy buyers are looking for....my (sporadic) sales on there tend not to be "typical" stock images
