I had quite a good month, better than 123RF.

Quite opposite at me!
 :o
Probably 123RF is 30 times better than Canstock last month...

SS 47% (40%)
IS 14% (16%)
123RF 11% (9%)

DT 4% (7%)

17% across other agencies, more relevant Zazzle (4%), DepositPhotos (3%) and PhotoDune (2%)

I would like to see (if it is possible) a graph of this period of  "Microstock pull results"...

This is the first time I haven't reach a monthly payout with iStock since July 2006. My October sales have dropped 68% from my September sales. The last time my iStock monthly sales were that low was February 2006. In 2009 iStock was my number one in sale revenue. In 2010 it felt to number 2. Last September it felt to number 3. Now it is number 6. All other sites above IS, which are Shutterstock, Fotolia, Dreamstime, Bigstock, Canstock have all reached their regular monthly payouts and they all have given me better revenue then iStock. Furthermore, sales at those better sites appear to have increased to compensate  for the lost at IS.


You haven't reach minimum payout on IS ($100) or your usual payout this month?

P.S. I think that Yuri's photos are not so bright any more, like before... ;)

For DT: We need HTML upload option... Sometimes I upload from my mobile device... So then I can't use Java or FTP...

Do you shoot stockphotos with your mobile phone?  ;)

Whole the time!   :)

So, does it mean that we can not expect higher than 25% for non-exclusive contributors whole November?  :-[

you had 900$ :)

From bundle?
No! 630,77$ exactly...
But we have to think about our future there. Do you think we should not?  :)

This morning I have 4 images less in my portfolio... :'(
 4 images were approved in my last batch few days ago, but now they are rejected because LCV...
I haven't received any notification mail about that...

They are taking out already accepted images because of LCV? 
Its seems so! This is first time to me...

Big business for Canon will be 5D mark III, ONLY!

517
It is veery weird that "date line" between this and last month ... Practically in the same day, we have ceased sales on all agencies...

We are in matrix, kill me if we are not... ???

518
My projection for this month is -40%...
That is result for this first third of this October...

Is it bad just for me or..?

Nikon / Re: Nikon D800 36MP coming?
« on: October 08, 2011, 10:19 »
What is with new Canon 5D mark III?

There isn't one. Maybe events in Japan have pushed it onto the back-burner.

In any case, how many people would dump the MkII in order to get a MkIII? The MkII's capabilities are already beyond what most people need.

More megapixels mean more visible signs on distant buildings, more visible features on distant subjects, more time spent checking for minor defects, more problems with CA and shake.

I think they will eject markIII on market soon after Nikon D800...

Is it possible to sell a stock picture on ebay, and after payment to send a picture via email to the customer?
I see only DVDs delivery via post office...

Adobe Stock / Re: FT, is picking up!
« on: October 06, 2011, 17:42 »
No, looks really bad for this time of the year, I usually do great until the end of November.

Me too! Not just Fotolia, whole microstock... :(

523
I received warning once, then I sent them explanation why I was doing that and after that I haven't problems with warnings..

524
Social networks are good for promoting, but there is also other ways such as blogs, emails, etc.

But,if hundreds of us leave on social networks messages like this: "From now, my new photos will be available first on these microstock sites, all other sites will get those images after 3 month or more"....

That is the process not over night...

I think its time to help and reward good agencies...
