which needs to be changed soon

LOL!! Very funny!
There were a few little issues uploading but other than that sales were immediate which is very important for a new site!
I think Photodune is great!!

agree!

It would be a great result if it's actually based on 400 images. But very bad if it would be on 4k

is this Nov topic about me? I am not that good, actually I am pretty bad, don't waste your time guys, keep on collecting and just leave the pennies for me

only a few uploads this Nov, one the months I have done less since start (I have mainly been uploading hard to some agencies in November and December will finish, I am talking about Superhug, Zoonar, iSignstock, Photokore, Alamy)

I will have the 4th month in a row over 1k $, IS down!

1003$, 1062$, 1017$ and around 1000$ for November

this month top 5 % (previous month):

- SS 42% (47%)
- IS 10% (14%)
- 123RF 10% (11%)
- FT 8% (7%)
- DT 6% (4%)

24% across other agencies (more relevant below):
- Zazzle (5%)
- CanStockPhoto (3%)
- DepositPhotos (3%)
- PhotoDune (2%)
- Alamy (2%)
- Veer (2%)
- iSignstock (2%)

in 2010 I had 1403 RCs, in 2011 I am with 3311, 16% yay

they do need to change this but let me explain you how they work on MR's

using FTP:
1. upload the releases into the MR folder
2. upload the pictures into the previous folder
3. process them at the website, they will be automatically added to files

it doesn�t matter if that batch has 1, 2 or 3 persons, just upload all the releases for that photoshoot

Ah ok.. I never boycotted it

We are aware there are a number of bugs that are affecting contributors. Some of them are being worked on as I type and others are queued up to be addressed. Here is an update on the two major ones that are being worked on right now.


1. Royalty adjustments for the royalty issue we had two weeks ago - We've just received the reports from BI with all of the data. As you can imagine this was a task in itself to go through every download, look at the credits used, determine what value each credit was at, then work out the royalty rate etc. Our next step is to create a script that will email each contributor affected with a list of each download and what royalty is due for that download. Then we'll add the royalty owed as a bulk to your account. We are estimating this to occur on Tuesday of next week.


2. The 'My Uploads' page - The dev team is working on this one as well. However, they are holding off on fixing this until they get all of the bugs worked out of the DB release we did this past weekend. They don't want to create a fix on a system that is still being tweaked and adjusted. They have promised me however, that their goal is to have this bug fixed by end of next week as well.

Thanks, I make that 73 cents RPD at present, and rising to about 96 cents from Dec 1, when the increase kicks in. How does that compare with the others, I am IS exc. so can't do my own comparisons.

I am a small earner (around 1k/month lately) but let me tell you the top5 agencies rpd (2 years and half on microstock)
SS 0.46$
IS 0.56$ (without PP 1.22$)
FT 0.75$
DT 0.81$
123RF 0.79$

Cheers Tom.  Have u guys noticed sales dropping at iStock? 

never had big sales on IS but have been increasing actually but this month went back like 1 year ago

and a lot slower too

the apple online store goes down several times a year when they upgrade the system with new products or just before a significant new announcements.

It�s Saturday night, were not really losing serious money.

if we accepted 15% why not a few hours offline, I am not losing money for sure

in PM yes I have them on the lower %, I am at 32% once got a little over 1k files I need to upload more there, too bad their submission but they do have buyers and some nice sales, next month I will update my portfolio there

regarding DT is like you are saying, not easy really, we need to have a lot of patience, I never went over 70$ and quite stagnated for a few month, at the 50$'s this moment

Hi Steve, as you now we have similar earnings in terms of totals but looking at your 2011 earnings chart you have in your blog I have found that CanStockPhoto, BigStock and DT are a lot nicier than they are for me, your RPD there must be a lot higher once I see you haven�t got a lot more sales than me

I have tried a few months about PhotoCase but I think they are looking for more artistic pics, what do you have there and how many? in terms of sales I see that they haven�t done much

Panthermedia looks more alive to me, I am with over 200 EUR since I have started there, not much but quite nice once I have spent like 10 hours there uploading perhaps, I wish they improve or create a easier upload for microstock pictures

This past week I have uploaded all my portfolio to a few agencies:
- SuperHug, upload and "its online", they seem to take a while to get them published (as they say), I believe they have no review, got already two sales, they pay 75% and they set my pics on 4$ so 6$ so far, will see how it goes
- iSignstock, after looking at your earnings I decide to get all my portfolio there, I had around 200 files since January bringing 2 pounds/month
- Photokore, don�t know much but I found interesting the all Asia market but have already read some contributors talking about no sales, I got a really fast connection so it took me now like 1 day to upload over 4500 files, it does need a little more work to submit, just adding releases no categories needed etc but now will wait for review, the work is done already so will see
- Zoonar, had like 10 files online, kind of forget about them but again I have seen on your blog about some nice sales so I am now uploading my portfolio and so far no rejections so will see how it works and if the all partners they have can be nice
