Not a sale since January.  Ouch.

I think that judgement is fair. Photo was found on flickr, with no option to buy, and they took it down as soon as photographer warned them.
It would cost them only a few dollars to buy the image, if they knew that's what needs to be done. Photographer would get his 25 cents for it.
I wonder why people put photos on flickr and similar "show only" sites and then cry if image "borrowed"?

Yeah, I went into a museum.  There wasn't pricing on anything, so I just took a painting.  I figured I'd give it back if they asked.

I'm trying to find a good rm agency. I'm really drawn into Blend (or SuperStock)

I read on this forum that you need to have "diverse/ethnic" images to get into Blend but I don't always see this in the search results.

Do they only want ethnic images?

Blend just closed not too long ago, so I don�t think anyone is selling much.

You now have to click on the contributors tab from the Account settings link - but there is a glitch there as they have two View payments links.
The top one is for the current months sales the bottom one is for the payment details.

Ah yes, there they are.  They just need to change the text for the sales link.

It�s not fixed here.

I�d say about 1/15 or so of mine are MU.  Never had a big one though.

Note that your model release is irrelevant here.  It�s the terms of the license that apply.  Your release is between you and the model, so you�d better be working with agencies that support that.

Hi
A friend of mine wants to buy the rights to one of my photos.  I am on several stock sites but the one he wants to buy is not on any of the sites, but the photo is similar.  For example, if I have several images of Cabo San Lucas, and the one he wants is of the same place, same location, but not exact, am I violating any agreements with the agencies (assuming most contracts are the same).

Any suggestions,
Thanks,
Trish

If you're not promising exclusivity, this has nothing to do with your other photos.

I can sometimes make $800-$1000 a (week)day with 10,000+ clips, but $200-$400 per day is more likely for me.

February, 2018 was my BME, averaging $5,000 per week during that month.

So, it can be achievable with hard work.

I would take anonymous posters with seven post history comments with a grain of salt.

eta: eight posts

What he said is true.  We have voted to remove the membership cap.  We will still have the same standards during the "call to artists" as previously and be looking for new members that compliment or add uniqueness to the collection.  They're revamping the "call to artists" process a bit as well, and the plan is for applications to be reviewed much faster, as they realize the long waits were not the best experience.  I've also expressed the need for a more in depth "what we're looking for" description.

I don't know if they're going to go back and re-review previous applications or whether you'd need to apply again.

I thought you were kidding.  I have more than 10k files and make nowhere near that.  Nowhere.

will be amazed if we get 30% of the actual sale price, more like 30% of the royalty paid from Getty to 500px I would imagine?

Absolutely.  Nobody is going to be getting 30% of the sales.  It will be 30% of 500px�s negotiated cut, so 30% of 25% (or whatever they negotiate), so maybe %8 of the sales price?  Can you cut $.02 into that small a piece? Lol.
