one image I don't get/understand is - the white block that is partially broken off? first of all, what is that? and second, I don't quite understand why someone would buy that? (the other images make sense to me - but that one - maybe because I don't know what it is, don't know why someone would want it?)

It seemed like a block of yeast to me, which is used for baking, baking bread, etc. I know that in some countries people bought all of the yeast in supermarkets (fearing shortage, just like with toiletpaper), so it might be because of this. Just a guess, though.  :D

You've guessed right! :D

thanks for sharing, makes sense for most of the images...

It's a block of brewer's yeast. During the lockdown here in Italy it became really difficult to find, so while making some bread at home I took a photo of it (a couple actually, but this is the one that sold the most).

I get an Internal Server Error too (Italy)

After 54 days of quarantine (here in Italy it started on March 12th), I thought of making a small video with some of the photos I took during this period and which obtained a fair number of sales in the various agencies.
I hope you enjoy it.
Greetings from Tuscany!

Yes ~ the total has gone up but the individual sales don't but I've seen this before it usually catches up after a day or two

Thank you!

Today I've got a couple of dl on Dreamstime, but they don't show in "My earnings" page as usual.
Anyone is experiencing the same issue?

Thank you!

I don't think they accept editorial images of any type, unless they have changed their policies recently

Thank you, Steve!

Canva / Can I sell illustrative editorial?
April 02, 2020, 11:35
I'm new to Canva and as I can't find a checkbox to upload as editorial, I don't understand if they accept this kind of photos.
Thank to anyone will help!

Politics, economy, markets, is for later. The sooner you understand the sooner you think about not putting the person in front at risk. Now, nothing else matters but stopping the contagion. In a few days, what you know, your routine will disappear, your life will not be the same. It will be seen if there are cruises and sales when the epidemic expires, but now, don't infect anyone is the goal, not infect anyone. Do it for others. Each must be responsible for not infecting the rest.


Tenebroso
From Spain.






Edited to wish everyone luck. Lots, lots, lots of luck.

I subscribe to every single word of Tenebroso. I write from Italy and, although the country has been closed for 6 days now, in the most affected region (Lombardy), cases increase at the impressive rate of 1500 per day. Intensive care beds are about to end up in that region and, for some days now, doctors say that they will soon be forced to choose who to treat and who to let die. The only way to stop the exponential growth of the virus is to stay home, stay home, stay home. I am very worried about my English friends, who have been faced with a disastrous hypothesis. Why? Because there is no scientific evidence regarding the fact that, once cured of the virus, one cannot be infected again. Herd immunity theory, in this case, is a really dangerous gamble.
If your government has not yet taken drastic measures such as here in Italy, Spain and France, be yourselves to take all necessary precautions: if you can work from home, do it; ALWAYS keep a distance of at least one meter from the people you talk to, wash your hands as often as you can and properly.
You get used to quarantine quickly, less quickly you will get used to seeing scenes like those of a city in northern Italy, in which, in these days, a burial is carried out every half hour.
For God's sake, stay home!

Hi, since a couple of hours, if I try to open my dashboard on Adobe Stock contributors, I get a loop between the dashboard and the login page.
Anyone have the same problem?
Thank you!

Same here in Italy

And despite knowing, you get a few cents for video you keep uploading. Yeah!

Actually I'm not a video maker, I've uploaded just some time lapse videos and sold them for about 10 to 12 $.
That was the first low sale for me. Just want to report it for this thread.
And yes, as I grow 20/30% every month, I'll keep upload.
Yeah!  ;)

I've just got a video sale for $ 0,65. Yeah!

Worst month since April 2018.

Earnings are calculated for each month. The catch is the same like on Shutterstock - you pay tax on sales made to US buyers. This is why your payment gets reduced for some amount.

Thank you!

iStockPhoto.com / Payment question
August 18, 2018, 10:53
This month I'll get my first payment on Istock, but the payment amount is less than my total earning (about $11 are missing).
Anybody knows why?

Thank you!
#71
SS - Best 2018 month
IS - It looks like a very good month
AS - Very low compared to June
#72
5 showed up in the map, but $ 0,00 in the earning report
They say they have some technical issues
#73
Yes.
I still use Fotolia to upload and Adobe Stock to modify keywords and titles
#74
Not a big increase in number of sales, but for the first month (I'm new in the stock industrie) I've got some good SEO sales
