Photo Critique / Re: Bigstock portfolio not selling?
« on: January 25, 2012, 21:59 »
1. first 1/4 of your portfolio was uploaded this month
2. you have 2 or 3 subjects (not to mention we are talking about nature where I dont think there are much sales)
3. your pictures arent impressive
4. it is also bigstock
5. basically you have some nice tulips, orchid and the dragon (majority of them arent even isolated properly)

best of luck!

Even POD licensing doesn't give you the copyright! I guess the problem is that too many contributors to Zazzle and the likes are either ill-informed or simply don't care.

some might not know like 1% but all the other are still getting away with it..

on a side note I have been following Jack since Lee Torrens introduced him in Microstock Diaries, back in 2009 where he also posted his earnings around microagencies (kind of looking what would come out there) for sure Jack had tons of other stuff in other big agencies and pursuit other adventures, for sure a lot more interesting too, not only in terms of revenues

after that I have been following his twitter too and oh boy that gotta be one the most active twitter I have ever known or seen, he is everywhere and he knows everything, enjoy tons reading and following his tweets, articles, links, pics, advices etc very cool stuff

Thanks for your response luissantos84 but did you mean it is OK for Zazzle or Fine Art America or both?

Zazzle, never looked much into Fine Art America, have a few there too but the yearly fee is holding me off

ruxpriencdiam: Correct me if I am wrong but I think you have to create your own images for Zazzle, I don't think you can just buy someones else's photo and use it on your products. I'm not sure how Fine Art America works though but I would be pretty pi**** off if someone could just by one of my images with an EL and legitimately sell it in this way.

I believe they can with an EL, many Yuri selling out there..

had 1 too but I think it was nice to get also 1.56$ for a M :)

Small JPEG 700 x 465 pixels  $1    
Medium JPEG 1400 x 930 pixels  $3    
Large JPEG 4288 x 2848 pixels  $6

the M has a cool size too :D

Yeah, it seems like a one man crusade that I'm fighting and losing by myself. I guess I could go talk to vector exclusives at iStock for moral support. They know what I'm talking about, but they have their own problems. ;D

I agree with you, you are an intelligent businessman thats for sure but my point is that getting 1.56$ from a 1.4MP picture doesnt look any bad, actually I would love to sell this way many times a day

Photo Critique / Re: Composition rejection
« on: January 25, 2012, 11:29 »
I suppose if I cared I'd write to Scout when I get something rejected, but I've become bored wasting their time.

do it very often and it does work but I need to be sure of what I am doing too

4735
Bringing it all the way around. What happens if some large agency which is owned by a large investment company, were to file charges against Leaf, and some individual anonymous members, for what's written on this forum, about them?

crap  ;D

I'm a little unhappy about the various sizes instead of just the vector sales. It would at least be nice to be able to set the prices on those as well. I woke up this morning to a $1.56 royalty on a small size which is much lower than the usual $7.8. I'm just not sure why everyone has to compete so viciously on price and undercut the large sizes.  :(

Sometimes after critique DT in forum, i receive from Achilles/Serban comment for one of my images:
Your posts on the forums are full of negative things about Dreamstime or the stock photo industry overall. Please stop doing that.
After such ''comments'' everybody will lock his/her topic...

FD please continue :)

curious they dont even mention the less 15% in downloads (and yes they may have made more $$) but dont know if thats a good thing even if they are going "macro", for sure it doesnt make contributors anxious to upload or create new stuff

Funny, must have been singled out for special treatment! Still getting a new language every day!

dont think so, gotta be something related to your internet provider, weird..

Given this rather odd PR pat on the back for themselves, I find it amusing that I still have a grand total of 18 images out of over 2,500 of my port on TS/photos.com.

dont remember when but back in 2011 I had to "remove" all my files from PP (waited a week and add them again once they had somekind of bug) after that files were migrated quite fast but still dont have all of them there.. perhaps you need to do the same, if you want to of course

from day 1 until today I have 31% sales that arent subs (2.5k $ short to the last raise)

It's about the work guys. Always has been and fortunately always will be. I personally know folks with 8/10 MP cameras that outsell the so called big Players. Because it's "ABOUT THE WORK" they don't post anywhere , They don't need to. Theres a whole bunch of Yuri's and Seans guys. trust me.

You guys are going right past It.

Agree but I think you are going OT once again..
