This is cool that we have list, we know agencies of PP, but... do we get this from our top agencies (first touch)? No! That's the point. Agencies (not only CanStockPhoto) shouldn't keep it in a secret against photographer, where my work sells and earns money for others. And more important - we should have option to OPT IN/ OUT. Our work is our decision, isn't?
This is just ridiculous  :'(

Are you telling me, guys, that:
I get $0,30 with DP, when I sell
Maximum 4256 x 2832 $24,90 in Shotshop?
(I have just found my images here as well, of course)
Oh, please, tell me this is bad joke, error, mistake...  :o  :-\  >:(

It obviously should be forbidden ... Who is most happy when I do my work?

Btw. I asked CanStockPhoto about PP. Take a look there  partners of canstockphoto

CanStockPhoto.com / Partners of CanStockPhoto?
« on: February 12, 2014, 16:51 »
I wonder if there is any reason not to show Partner Program list to contributors... ?

Last days I decided to do some research where are my images selling, so I asked my top agencies about PP sites. Here is what I got from CanStockPhoto:

"We currently don't have a full list of our partners that may be shared; or the option to opt in / out of an affiliated partner."

I must say, I'm a bit confused. Didn't ever expect that answer from PRO stock agency...  ???
That's the way it is, how author, photographer loses control over images... Thank you for Partner Program and not clear stats (who, when, where, how)!  :-\

Veer / Re: review time
« on: February 12, 2014, 13:56 »
... you just need to put the horrendously long review time out of your mind or you'll go insane! They've been this way for ages - I guess they're trying to keep costs at a bare minimum?

Last batch uploaded 2014,Jan.05, it's over 1 month so I wrote to them asking question about reason for that long review time. Got replay pretty fast (after 2 days):
"We had a massive influx of image submissions over the past few months. We are doing everything we can to get through them but its taking some time. We are also working on an automation ingestion tool that should hopefully be released in the next few months. When this is released it will greatly speed up the review process substantially."

I got similiar answer few times before in few years. Nothing changed and I don't believe it will change ever. So... as I know, in traditional macrostock business people were waiting long time, but it was about negatives sending etc... We're in digital era and still in the same place (too) long review time. If someone wants to wait, you welcome. This is the best place to relax and not thinking about blocked earnings for long time. You can upload files, think about your photos, is it good, enough, maybe you could do it better, thinking, thinking... Forgot what you uploaded last time...

2010:
"We want to get our service times down to 7-10 days soon. We know the faster your images get on the site, the faster you can start to earn royalties..."
I thought they're talking about review time ;)

« on: February 11, 2014, 16:04 »
They're already deactivated.
No kidding! I have problem with them, maybe you saw before... They said there is no option to deactivate, they just close accounts and bye bye...
Or I can deactivate files one by one, hundreds of files...  ;D But they don't help.
Strange...

Ask them to deactivate all images in your account and they'll close your account in one second! ;)

« on: February 11, 2014, 14:07 »
And I'm thinking about the same, I'm gonna delete all PF. There is nothing going on, no matter if I put new images or not... No clients action at all.
Last 2 images sold in Nov. 2013 ($0,70), wow...

683
Did you ask them, write an email and find what they think about it? I believe they're friendly in personal contact (nobody likes talk about faults public, in marketing site).
I notice there is a lot of that kind work (copied) and I hope it'll be changed soon...

General Stock Discussion / free Paypal account?
« on: February 02, 2014, 04:53 »
Since when there is no personal account option?

I'm setting my Sys site and wanted to add new account (special or business) to my already personal, but I did it wrong and changed personal to special. I found there is no back option, so wrote email to PP. Lady said that Paypal removed personal account completely, so I cant go back.

If someone has personal old accound he maybe doesn't know there are new charges... Old personal account was free of that. We could make income from mictostocks without charge to Paypal.
Now we pay some %  + x basic charge for every income  ??? And its not a small charge  >:(

So, personal, special and business accounts are not free anymore?

Lucky, who doesn't need to do currency exchange.

So, do YOU delete your unsuccessful files? Or what do you think about it?

I did it few years ago, but that was my begining and images were reaaallyyy hopeless. However, even in that images some client saw potential and bought it. Now I don't delete and glad DT stoped deleting old files. They are selling even after 4 years with 0 (zero) downloads before! I wonder how client find them in milions of fresh files ;)
The same images may sell very well with other agencies...

... you get the code from FAA under "Behind the scenes"  and then "marketing" and then "shopping cart widgets"

Thank you!!  :-*

Oh lord... I've spent few days looking for that little thing, and it's that easy! lol :D

Sales of late seem to have slowed down but I did have 14 sales this month...
Wow! That's something!
But nothing wonder if you have over 1300 interesting images here, congrats :)

Btw. could you please help me, how do you guys add FAA gallery into your symbio sites? I'm stuck with that and can't find help...

Symbiostock - General / Re: RM on Symbiostock
« on: January 27, 2014, 03:25 »
Tx, Jo Ann :)

... overall I'd suggest uploading an image and linking it to a professional RM agency, otherwise you take on much responsibility.
And so, I think I'll do that - put RM images on SyS but link it to my Alamy, sleeping well and no worries.
(if I find again the way to do that  :P )

The site is down because I'm finally upgrading it :D when its back up I'll post it.
Should we expect big changes? ;)

I can't find info, how much does the "premium" cost? Is it one plugin for everything or just for RM licencing?
Tx.

... my next email to Alamy will be to close my account.
Am I right that you tried to close your account in Nov. 2013 last time? And they say that women don't know what they want to  :P  ;)

« on: January 24, 2014, 14:58 »

Image was DL second time, RF, not Exclusive...

1,66 < > 4,14 ??

« on: January 24, 2014, 13:17 »
I see almost zero...  ;)
Last few months, since Sept. 123rf was really good for me, nice sales - BME month by month.
In Jan. 2014 it suddenly stopped and I have 2 (two!) sales so far  :o  ;D

Don't know what to think...

"Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days."
I know! but what sens in opening new the same topic?  :P

So, I have over 700 files here and stoped uploading some time ago. Why? After few years still didn't get my 30 In the fact it's far, far away...
Before I joined PM, I've been told this is a really good agency with nice prices, etc. I could think there's something very wrong with my images, but... I have regular payments in other agencies  ???

I have here few DLs a month for 0,23 (dear lord  :-\ ) Payment? Even not dreaming about it - in that speed I suppose to get this 30 in ... next 4-6 years, if nothing goes worse ;)

How is it with you? Tell me you have great earnings, payout monthly and it's worth to work more, uploading here...

Do you use lightboxes here? I started one LB and put there many images, like 100-200 files... Today I can see only 7 (!) images in that LB  ::)
Any ideas whats wrong?

One more person on board there :)
I've read everything you wrote on the forum about FAA and decided to take my chance (thanks for help!)... Lets see how it works :)
I was missing that thing a lot... First impression is great! Site is so friendly, products and prices are encouraging. Now, time to work! :)
