its curious that you have copied that deep thoughts guy

I am a business man, I quit playing which is my most favorite company in the world long ago. If you look at the facts "good and bad" you have prepared yourself to make informed smart business decisions.

Now back to your regularly scheduled SS Whoooo Yays!

I am not a Whooo Yays dude, guess you mean Mike!

I am starting to think that You, Mike and Ron are the same person!

LOL
Please do not lump me in as the same person as those two.

If you were to lump us all in as one group I would refer to the Clint Eastwood movie "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly"
I of course would play the role of Clint Eastwood as being "The Good"

The others you can decide who is who

Again
Lets all remember this is a mere 20 something child living in england with these smart ass answers
No real life experience, most likely still has childish concepts of equality for all and socialism being the new Cool concept for all society.
I can only assume a fan of NoBama being of this age of no life experience as an adult

I am interested as to why he uses two different last names, yet links all his sites together?

again
Post pictures of your Isolations

if you want real answers of course

Stocks go up and down all the time
I for one am glad to be able to own SS stock, Buy Low, Sell High, Buy Low again, Sell when its up again, then buy when its lower again and so on and so on.
I see SS as being a Viable company for many many years to come

I LOVE Shutterstock!
Always have, always will.

Ya, this is OT, but.... the world is full of the most interesting people, isn't it?

Well it has certainly muddled the discussion hasn't it.  Who's talking about a site possibly manipulating the search to favor paying lower royalty contributors anymore?

Tell me about it!
If it were not for a few select morons attacking me on every thread I respond to or start things would go as planned.

I really do not think SS or any site even thinks or cares about this concept.
I think their in a race to be on top of the stock market, with the most photos available for sale to anyone who wants to buy them.
The more photos they have the more customers stay on their site looking for that Perfect shot.
There are many versions of any particular image which gives the buyer more options.

This is a business of selling images for use (we all know that)
Nobody guaranteed any one person (or company or group) a particular income, I for one am just glad for each and every sale I get and am always doing my own marketing also to help with My bottom line.

Everyone (well almost everyone) is a competitor, why would (or should) I give my competitors a hand in taking My sales away with real info.

Some people do not like that, to them I say Booo Hooo go get your own ideas on how to make money.

Classy, Mike.

You know probably 90% of the people on this forum use twitter. I see you're just as good at making friends over here as you were at the SS forum.

"friends" like You, I can live without!
Thank You

Quote from: Reckless on April 11, 2014, 02:42
Mike, let me see if I am still following this correctly. You lie about not tweeting, than you create a new account so you can show only two tweets, than accuse Louis of being a liar and making slanderous claims against him, he shows the original link to your massive tweeting.

OK, I'm up to date. Thanks

Nope
That is still my same twitter account from when I started
Again
I don't have any interest in Twitter.
Twitter is for self centered morons who think everyone has to know what they are up to.
I for one could care less what anyone on twitter has to say ever

lol

This is quite funny actually

I DO?
Funny thing is, I dont use twitter, dont look at it, very rarely post on it, dont care about it, and think its a childish waste of time
I am glad you are having fun with it
oh by the way do you ever twit anything of any interest?
Sorry but I have no idea

you have 23 tweets this month already, 2801 tweets in total!

THAT STATEMENT IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE!
I just checked my Twitter page
I have 2 post This Month. The last one was in August about my Microscope

But of course Lying and False Statements by You and a few select others is nothing new!

Mike stopped using using twitter because after writing Gosh Golly Gee Willikers! in every post he only had  115 characters left.

GOSH GOLLY GEE WILLIKERS you figured me out!

Seems like some people don't understand where this reporting comes from? Or if they do, the criticism of Mike is misplaced?

(I don't use it, I found it would have driven everyone I know to stop following me and watching a steady flow of SPAM from my Twitter account. And Also I don't want to be announcing my sales or income. BUT...)

Look on your SS "Account Settings", it's a added feature of SS.

" Shuttertweet

Automatically promote your images with your Twitter account. Sign up for Shuttertweet and Shutterstock can automatically:

    Tweet a daily summary when work gets accepted. Example tweet:I got 10 images accepted to @shutterstock today! Check out my gallery here: http://tinyurl.com/-----
    Tweet a daily summary of your download stats. Example tweet:I sold 10 images today through @shutterstock! My gallery is here: http://tinyurl.com/-----

All you have to do is add the Shuttertweet application to your Twitter account. Login to Twitter and allow Shuttertweet to post updates to your account. To activate, you must authorize the Shuttertweet application. You can deactivate Shuttertweet at any time. "

So is this, which I also don't plan on using.

" Facebook Connect

Activate the Shutterstock Facebook application and share your achievements at Shutterstock with your friends:

    Post a daily summary when your images or videos are accepted to Shutterstock.
    Post a daily summary of your Shutterstock sales stats.
    Earn referral fees.

Example post:

You can choose to post a summary of accepted images or videos, a summary of your sales, or both. Any traffic from your posts that leads to successful sales will be paid out under the terms of the Shutterstock Referral Program. All you have to do is add the Shutterstock Facebook application to your Facebook account. To activate, make sure third-party cookies are enabled in your browser, then click the button below. You can turn off Shutterstock Facebook updates any time.
Login with Facebook
"

Also as far as I can see, the features are both broken, but people who joined when it was first started can be active. Again, I have no interest in sending endless messages to my friends and followers and people who don't care or have a use for my images.

SS knows and documents those who Whine and Cry and Bitch all the time and only turn off THOSE galleries while others who Praise SS for all the AMAZING GOODNESS they do get Special Super Duper Advertising to help their sales!

Mike if we all work hard to produce excellent images which can stand on their own merit,  none of us will need to cling to disingenuous marketing techniques. This marketing technique speaks of desperation.

Why would you quote me.  I made absolutely no mention of twitter. My post was in response to Mike's comment which I quoted and highlighted in bold.

As for twitter are you just figuring this out? It seems that you are the one who is confused.

Mike is the one who did not understand that his twitter account was reporting his sales. That was Louis's point!

At the time, several years ago Mike was reporting that his sales were higher than they actually were. His own SS automated tweets pointed that out.

Thats where you are all wrong.
For what ever unknown reason the SS Tweets tweeted out Twits that Twernt Correct.
In fact they Under Twitted my daily sales.
I sort of think it was due to the time zone (me being on the Good Side of the world the West Coast) and at 12:00 midnight NY Time its only 9:00pm here and other times for other parts of the world.

But thats all good to me
My sales are MY SALES and Not Yours.
I make the money and smile every time I look at my bank accounts

Its all good.

As far as I know, the ONLY TWEET I have done for a Long Long time was yesterday (I think) when I posted my daily sales on SS!
It was a SLOOOOOOOOWWWWWW day, only 12000 image sales!

I sure hope it pics up soon!

Michael - why don't you squeeze yourself into a cheerleaders uniform, grab some pom poms and practice those high kicks?

Now there's a gggggrrreat idea for a snap. Rah Rah Sis Boom Bah!

Sounds like a great idea for a trip to the emergency room.  And any snaps would be, at a minimum, R rated and more likely X.

LOL!

Facebook is reconfiguring its "sidebar" ads to be twice the size, and with larger size will probably come higher prices...no doubt folding in the cost of using Shutterstock images.

Oh THAT ron.

Hey dude
Im proud of you,
Good going!
I am impressed.

Keep up the good work buddy
I love how you know My Sales Figures (along with whats his name who doesn't even know which way to look into a camera and can only make vector images, lol but I'm not naming names)

There does seem to be a lot of misinformation and false statements on all these forums
I do find it interesting how strangers (yes you are a stranger to me, as we have never met, talked on the phone, in person or even im'd that I know of) like to be so Obnoxious and argue about things that have no idea what the truth is or even has any concern to them.

I wish you all the very best
