I have my private portfolio on Smugmug for a 4 months...
I spent a lot of money on Google Adwords, and also 16$ bucks every month on hosting, but till now, nothing! Not a single sale, but lot of views...
So, my conclusion is marketing is the hardest part of this business...

If P+ doesn't meet with price resistance from buyers, at least it means we get more money for the same # of sales. 

I didn't go into it expecting a best match boost because I had read about the failure to give E+ the promised boost.   Although a boost would be nice to have :)

Lisa, IS is truly winner here, we are just collateral winners!

Veer / Re: Disappearing payments at Veer ?
« on: May 10, 2011, 07:02 »
I also have problem with missing payment...

I sent several messages to support last several month, and at last two support did not respond ...
In  first responses support promised a solution, but till now problem is still here...

Problem is too small automated annual payment from Veer to Payoneer, what is reason why Payoneer rejected it several times...

Amount is 10,49$... I know its small money, but I want to clarify that... :-\
Veer was trying to make payment of that amount for several months in a row, but Payoneer refused due to "too small amount" (min is 20$)...
After each trial, the amount were returned to the pending balance, except for the last attempt...
So, I hope that payment service will add this amount during the next payment...
But, It's strange to me is that support does not send a reply and why the "problematic amount" does not appear in the balance after last failed payment...?

borg, thanks for asking that question - I couldn't figure it out either and felt too dumb to ask.   :)


No problemo!
Perhaps I am a bit dumber, so I asked why ... ;D ;)

P.S.

   
If you go to Aspen with small motorcycle....!? We can go together, as "dumb and dumber" ... :P :D

607
Can somebody explain this to me...

Is it way to put image exclusively and ONLY on IS, or possibility for non-exclusive contributors to make prices higher for their photos and also you can have same photos on other sites???

Leave your money on Moneybookers or on Paypal if US dollar is your account currency and wait for a better time...
Probably next week will be better...

So, what was I told week before? Dollar goes up!

Shutterstock now rejects everything! That can not be right!

611
Just Digitally signed, not scanned and sent by email...

612
I am mad because I have to wait 30 days to get available my money in balance after agency payout...
Do you have similar problem with "pending balance"?

613
Shutterstock is OK!
But I can't forget their reaction on our comments when taxation started...

614
After U.S. troops killed Osama bin Laden in Abotabad, north of Islamabad in Pakistan, American officials announced that the body of al-Qaeda leaders was thrown into the sea. In accordance with Islamic tradition


Oh my God... Who is crazy here, we or someone else!!! :P :P :P

615
So what!
Will come another Osama...
Problem is western politics, not in some quasi leader somewhere in desert...

Less than 10% of my Shutterstock sales are from the USA.
But I have many pictures of European cities in my port.
Percentage is slightly higher (about 30%) on Veer.

Me too!

Even without lot of landscapes of Europe...

You can make mix of everything good from other sites...

Keyword percentages from SS, lightboxes (private or other) from IS, zooms from Alamy, etc...

So, where was problem with "Contributor collective" topic?

623
SS rejected 3 of my images in my last batch, quite opposite with BigStock, they approved all..
So where is technical standard between these two sisters?

So again, a new site for large fish who probably can negotiate for percentage of earnings with large agencies ...
Deja Vu and nothing new!

P.S.
Please, just change name of this topic " Senior contributor's collective" and then we, "others" will shut up!
   
It seems that the "sphere of interest" is again before anything else... Am I right, Lisa!?  ;)
Like similar in near past, when big players were very silent when the IS reduced rates, because of that  enough "biggy players" repeat history again, now in this case...
   
Interest above the "critical attitude"!!!

Fala Suljo! Bomba!
