I don't know how I've managed without this word till now!
I see so many uses.....
 

You are lucky. SS sales generally in freefall.

Massive Royalty Free Still deduction - is this a refund or what?

Terrible month.
Was hoping for something to make up for collapse at SS. But no.......


PS Does anybody know what Royalty Free Still actually is?

I shouldn't worry. No sales anyway from a few hundred images sent to test (including generally good sellers).
Also, irritating odd ftp system where you have to change login very time (or use their uploader - yeah, we really have time to do that for small and untested sites).

PS100% of nothing is nothing.

Terrible now. Worse than before. Requires several 'clicks' to get one to 'take' when prioritizing keywords, no idea if the optional stuff is worth doing...... In addition, if you do mixed batches, to avoid messing up, virtually each photo has to be done separately.......
Awful.

If you aren't prepared to accept pennies per downloads - but multiple sales if it goes well - then microstock is not for you! End of story.

Be wary of large percentages and remember that 100% or zero is - well - zero.

In my view, you will need a great site (whichever you choose) and FOR YOU TO DO lots of direct marketing to galleries, publishers etc - as well as luck - to get a bigger percentage and higher value sales. Even if your photos are absolutely stunning this is an oversupplied market and the agencies are out to win.....

OK, no email from them so probably sold nothing - though a few months back I got a tenner!

However, I can't even FIND the place on the site where it shown sales any more.....

Am I being dozy or is it hidden (I find the whole 500px setup really unintuitive and over complicated, I must say).

Anyway, a shove in the direction of seeing what has (or has not) been sold would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Seems my fairly aged computer cannot cope, but 'Niakris' was helpful and will reconsider Stocksubmitter again when this old machine in traded in!

"Yes, your images are probably already in our organic search results if they are listed with an agency.  Using our paid Advertising or Platform replaces your images within our search results, and sends the buyer straight to your site or selling page where you make/keep more money."

ok - some useful info. Instead on an image appearing directing to SS it points to my site where in theory I can earn more.

So the '500 images' relates to - how many images are on my site? Or how many links I get? Or how many sales I get?

Thanks!

Sorry to post this here but I can find no contact info on the Stocksubmitter site.

Is there a contact please for Stocksubmitter?

Hmmm....when they were Flashstock typically $50 for 4 photos.
Any chance in Europe? All seen as one country - no expenses paid for briefs from Barcelona to Vladivostok! Jolly dee.

I am failing to get ANY of this series accepted: they involve a photo of me isolated and turned into a silhouette.

At first I attached just an MR - was told it needed a reference image.
Then I sent up both - and am told the Reference image was sent 'in the wrong field'. (I sent it as a second MR as it clearly is not a Property Release. There are just the 2 options.)

Any ideas please?
