I didn't get this e-mail - I checked my spam file and not there either.

check the email on 123rf site, not on your regular mailbox.

did you isolated it, or shoot in studio? I dont see any shadows under shoes?

What is the point of uploading the files if they are not sold? Even if I get a few sales, it is not worth it for few euros... It is pure waste of time. Maybe not if you have only 100-200 images... but if we are talking about 3000-4000 or more, than I have good reason to stop uploading until I see some real sales. I stoped uploading on Yay about 15 days ago, and I wont upload again utnil I see some sales. And not just random ones in every 15 days, but rather on a daily basis. They promised a good sales, and I expect them to sell my images like other sites. I dont care if they are new or not, they gave a promise. No excuses, if no money, no images. I dont play games, by the end of the year I will pull out my port. if they dont start doing business. So far, YAY is image storage site, not image selling site, at least for me. Not happy.

I'm already a member at a bunch of other sites. Why should I bother with yet another one?

Because it's dead easy money. You upload the photos, we get the customers, you get money.


But seriously, there are already a bunch of microstock sites? Why do we need another one?

Most of the sites in the microstock-industry have issues that both customers and contributors don't like. That might be strange policies, difficult upload processes, weird rejections, not a focused marketing or customer profile, low commissions, confusing websites and a lack of transparency. You won't find that here. We will tell you who we are, what we are doing and why we are doing it. The commissions will be fair, both for individual sales and for subscriptions. The website will be easy for contributors and even easier for customers.

We are aware of the fact that microstock is not as easy, new and exciting as it was a couple of years ago. Still there are huge possibilites by developing a better website, having better procedures and, most importantly, expanding the business model of microstock to other types of digital media.


But customers are already used to other microstock-sites. Right?

Wrong. Microstock is still an industry with strong growth. Talking to potential customers, we've been surprised at how few actually know what microstock is. There are also new market segments that has yet to exploit the full potential of microstock, most notably bloggers. We believe that an easier site with the kind of flexibility a small company can offer, has the potential to get a favourable reputation both among customers and contributors.

With the right strategy we will prove that microstock can be done better!

halloo every body

It is not a vector, it is jpeg. It is an illustration. I dont see vector format available for sale. :p

Ok, I will try it in next batch of upload, in a few days. Thank you.

(So I have to change host name (from submit.123rf.com to ftp.123rf.com, and use my user ID instead of username? and add @submit123rf.com after it? And password is just my password, or is it 123rf+password?)

LOL!

Moneybookers already did it - if you type those numbers too fast, it says they are not correct, and you are forced to try again. lol. The minimum time to enter is about 3 seconds I guess, any less is error. hhhhhh

On every agency I upload, I can use my maximum uploading speed alowed by my ISP which is about 25 kb/s. But only 123rf has the slowest FTP server, and upload speed is half of it - 12 kb/s. Why is it so slow always?

for the first time SS is on #1 for me

roughly:

SS 40%
FT 35%
DT 15%
IS, 123, StockXpert - 10 %

me too. I live in Europe, and I would love to be payed in euro, not in dollars. but what can I do. Pray for George Bush to go to pension, and stop war in Iraq, and dollar will raise again. hhhhh

Stu99, if those are simmilar to already aproved, than why complaining? Their policy is not to accept simmilar. You can always avoid it by clever uploading few days after...

3000+ images. 50-60$ per month. Not bad for 123rf.

The only thing that annoys me is that I have to log in every time, it wont remember my login status, I hate I have to login every time.

Why ever pull out???  stop uploading ok, but erase everything???  What can happen? In worst case nothing...

By pulling out I want to punish the agency for not keeping the promise about good making money! LOL!
