i sold 100 photos GGREAAAAAAAAT )

So he came and so he left. Why is it all so predictable? 

As far as I remember from the shutterstock thread it is also supposed to give you cross site statistics - on image basis.

No, that's Lookstat.

The idea behind using this site for uploads is that you only upload once to them, and they take care of distributing it to all agencies.  If one uploads to 10 agencies the bandwidth / time savings would be quite significant.

Yes, the bandwidth savings are considerable. That's all you get for a hefty fee per month.

I have made more with Mostphotos, Panthermedia and Rodeo, all midstock sites.

I had quite some sales on Mostphotos too, April-May last year, when everybody had about the same rank. Nothing since then, but my rank is still around 50 and yours around 1030. That means you've spent a lot of energy on commenting and stuff. That's no critique by any means but it illustrates the fact that the social networking, grooming and shoulder-tapping aspect there is more important than the intrinsic value of the photos to get on the front page (and sell).

Cutcaster is OK but I feel the few sales there are just random hits by a very limited buyers base.

FeaturePics was very OK till half last year, then came to a sudden stop for me. Like any similar oddity, it probably has to do with the search engine. On some sites, you are the search engine's darling and you don't know why. On others, you just don't get airborne.

Zymmetrical: better than all 4 for me the past year, considering I just uploaded 1/2 of my port. But 2/3 of my sales there are people shots in situation, not (except 1) in studio set-up. It might be portfolio-dependent. Just wait and see who will survive. For them it's as tough as for us to survive in a market with too many suppliers.

Which is nice about iStock, because they are all independent, they can't fill the queue with their entire portfolio at once.

This kind of short-sighted protectionism will turn sour on IS sooner or later.

What comes after subs?

Getting paid in Zimbabwe dollars and placement fees for the contributors. All you can download in a month for 1$. 

.

Since it becomes customary to report sales on the "low earner" sites, here my most recent sale (2009/03/05) at Zymmetrical. Earnings 18$.



I had a question about the payout method (PayPal) which apparently is done automatically over 10$. Since Paypal charges fees for payouts from some sites, wouldn't it be better to ask explicitly for payout or put the limit higher?

Attila is at work again!

I found proof of Atilla!
(all batches N = 10 submitted, accepted table)

I suppose the site didnt pay for the small size microstock pictures so I would like to warn the author or the microstock site about it. But my question is, anybody has any experience on finding "robberies" or other fraud uses?, and what you did?

Once I was looking for info online about a particular Filipino landmark cathedral and I stumbled upon a thread in a history/tourism forum about that cathedral I wanted to document more. The main shot was one of me on iStock with that particular cathedral and the big iStock watermark all over it. The site owner apologized for the "ugly" watermark in a pissed off comment that things like that (the watermark) should be outlawed 
I did nothing. The time for emailing and complaining you can do other shots.

If income will increase in (much) more than subscription fee so why not?

It doesn't have anything to do with income! Not even with time saving. You still have to do all dirty work (attach MRF, catgorize, submit) on the site itself. The only thing it does is that it uploads from FTP server to FTP server. The only advantage is when you are on limited bandwidth. If not, Filezilla just does the same, and free. If you like an easy solution that does more, like tracking what's where, use ProStockMaster.

Good job guys - I think you're all legends 

Not really. Why don't you put up a full-size rejected photo somewhere and ask for some input here? You can watermark it. It might help to hear some opinions of the legends. 

The number of sites to handle doesn't depend on the upload if they have FTP, since Filezilla schedules all. It depends on the time spent on the site to submit/categorize/attach MRF.

You can easily submit to 20 if they have a very good site programming quality (especially MRF attach) and no categories, like: CanStockPhoto (the best), MostPhotos, YAYmicro, Featurepics, 123RF.
On the other hand if all sites were high-maintenance like Fotolia or dead slow/clumsy like Zymmetrical, you could only handle 3.

The decision table has 9 fields. Obviously, the top rights are the ones not to add and the bottom lefts are a must to add.

₁ Should normally be one position to the left if they didn't have this obnoxious IFRAMES or scrollable windows that make you click and scroll all the time to get anything done. I get FSS (Finger Strain Syndrome) from it.

₂ If you feed the beast with a specific strategy.

No, no, not at all. I have no connection to them. But I work as a graphic designer and buy a lot of images for different clients. Mostly I buy from iStock. I also try to sell some images myself. I have a small small portfolio at a few sites. And I can't say I'm getting rich from sales yet ;-)

OK, I'm sorry and I stand corrected. But the pricing scheme of ColourBox is crazy. Just 150 euro and you can download all for a month. It's one of the worst deals around for photographers. I had a look at their pictures and some are good but in very limited numbers. For 75 euro more per month, your friend can download the cr�me de la cr�me from ShutterStock: all the top artists are there. If it is just about a few photos now and then, Dreamstime has an equally good collection and it is much cheaper than iStockphoto.
