I was wondering how these sold on the microstock sites. Like buttons for websites etc.

i have a number of shots that have high views with few sales. The reason was the shot was featured on the site. i reckon most of the views would be from other photographers.

I am right there with Leaf. Even an old 10D.
And for . of it, I bought an old police forensic camera - Nikon D1H at a police auction for $250AUS. You can get reasonable priced lenses for it as well.

Leaf. I prefer to use a clipping path around the object. the designers seem to like this.

I think you might be in for a law suit. I suggest that if you want a stock photo site you do not trade off another business trading name

I had 18 pounds up so I lost it. But at least they gave it to charity

Just thought I would pass on good wishes to everyone during the holiday season.
Hopefully one day, when we are all rich from microstock, we may all meet.
Have fun with family and friends, and please stay safe.

At the same time my portfolio has grown, the sales have diminished. This month I think I will be lucky to sell 60 images.

$41.25 of sales for a year. 250 in my portfolio. I do like their keyword tool though.

I have 128 photos on SV. And had 9 downloads.
So far $1.80. I have loaded 190 drawings for T Shirts on Red Bubble and just got my first payout.

Well I am a Canon user. I believe 1000 Euro is about $1460 US dollars?
I would go the Canon Rebel xTi for about $500. And a Canon L series lens ... f2.8 24-70 for about $1000
Michaelo is right in essence with his equation, but for under 1000 Euro you would have trouble going below the xTi as the baseline.

my interiors are my best selling shots.
I have gone to the point of deleting any paintings/photos in view and replacing those bits with my own art.
but now, every site I am on rejects EVERY interior shot.
Frustrates me to hell.
Added to this i can get a property release, but i have had issues where the sites will not accept a generic property release.

I have sold one thing.
It appears the majority of the buyers the sellers themselves. For instance with T Shirts, anyone with a graphic program can download pics and logos and make their own cheap T Shirts. Once they order it themselves, they delete the file.
I don't see much advertising for Red Bubble.

Whiz, Susan S is correct, there was another person on this site a while ago who got banned because when they submitted, they forgot to delete the layer they traced from. Personally, I don't see an issue if: You only use the pic as a source for reference points. Similar to what an artist does when painting.
The image is not "photographic" (ie) the image is cartoonish etc.Remember, artists, all artists (including photographers) tend to be a little bit precious about their work. RE: Bateleur ... the pic here is not Jessica's best side

because of the way search engines work, a domain name is not all that important anymore.
it has to be rememberable and relevant, and that is about the end of it.
dreamstime does not say anything about stock photos, and yet they are successful.
the actual "best names" is a myth, continued by those who have parked domain names in the hope of selling them to someone at a later date. of course, in Australian that is illegal for .com.au names. It is illegal to sell a domain name, it can only be transferred at no cost.

I am sure other manufacturers do this, but this is particularly about Canon.
The recommended price for the Canon 40D in the USA is $1299, and in Australia it is $1999.
The Australian dollar has hovered at 90 US cents for months, and it is now 92 cents. Based on that, the price in Australia should be around $1400 Australian dollars for the 40D.
This is an unethical practice called skimming. They do it all the time in Australia, and wonder why people buy stuff overseas and import.

This is pathetic. Imagine the grief you would get if you stole some of their story and reprinted it without their permission.
But this has been my experience with the media. I have had major newspapers steal my story ideas even to the point of repeating quotes I made in the submission as content.

I wonder if they hurt when they bite? Like sandflies or something.
If they do, it is probably a good idea to advertise because it could be causing someone inconvenience. I just read about them on wikipedia. They spread to humans from gorillas 70,000 years ago.
So now I am thinking, man ... gorilla, together? Or unless they shared the same towels. I heard they can spread that way as well.

Wonder if that Genitrax works?
Says it dissolves them on contact. What's with that? I mean, don't crabs have hard shells or something. If it dissolves crabs, what else does it dissolve.
Maybe you only use a little bit, or try it on one area at a time.
