Why do you even bother dipping below the clouds to spend time with the lowly "micros" as you always point out?

spot on  ;D

By the way, they still don't have a solution for the US tax withholding for non-US contributors unless sending in that cumbersome Wxxx thing.

Unfortunately, there is no solution because the US government doesn't view it as being a problem :) We are a USA based company and must follow the USA tax laws. Other companies may be based outside of the USA and thus not have this "problem" to deal with.

yes they need the ITIN.. BUT I had a payment last month, I had around 28$ ad got like 23$ on Paypal, overall not bad once I have 70% royalties there, so they can take another % no problem, for sure will upload a few more there

DELETE plz

...one year later...

Do you have any sales at ScanStock?
I make 1 euro quarterly. I have to say that retro design of the site doesn't infuse me with optimism.

4 or 5 sales lately per month

10 sales on 2010
20 sales on 2011

I think MSG members are taking their anger out at FT by punishing it in the poll, and it's not really reflecting reality because of this.

thats ridiculous, I dont believe in that, there might be 2 or 3 that dont care but the majority no, in my case 123RF is climbing nicely and in perhaps 2 months they will be over FT, which means a 3rd place (talking about total earnings), I will have this month for the first time over 100$ from them

I think you're helping to make my point.  FT is still earning more money for you than 123RF.  But there seems to be an overall sense that FT is declining and 123 is rising, and that feeling is getting ahead of reality in the polls.

nop! they have 15$ difference in total earnings :)

never used FTP for FT and perhaps never will  ;D

5113
I have over 20k sales and I'm going to earn around $170 this month, my worst for several years.  So I can believe that cybernesco isn't going to make a payout this month, I used to make over $500 regularly, so its a big drop.

thats incredible.. pretty bad.. I have less than 1k sales and I will be over 170$..

123RF / Re: Time to put 123RF in the top tier forum section
« on: October 30, 2011, 23:55 »
I guess it all depends on what each person calls earnings. 50 dollars a month might be huge for some and a complete waste of time for others.

heard that before...

5115
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... ;)

with 20k sales cannot be true or something is pretty wrong..

Photo Critique / Re: Four months zero sales in Zoonar
« on: October 30, 2011, 07:23 »
I sell a few there and individual sales are often for much higher prices than the average micros.  It can go a few months without sales but then I get a few and it makes up for it.

never found their reviews honest, how are they these days?

Better to have tried and decided to drop the project than never to have tried at all!

Not if you waste time and resources of contributors, not knowing what you're doing.

I am sure they have lost more money than you :)

Total Contributors: 37506

False. Many more. Tha'ts just the total number of contributors that have opted in to be showcased at istockcharts.de

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?  :)

absolutely :) we do need a little more % to be happy and keep on supporting!
