You don't want to do that!!  There's a request payment button in the management area.

Roughly 1 in 500 is an EL, SODs between 4 and 15 bucks a little more frequent

Ron,

Oops - fixed 

They're #2 for me behind Shutterstock and more than 3X iStock at #3. I have a large port at the sites that don't throttle my uploads. (DT, I'm looking at you.). So yes, 123 really does earn me more than the rest.

Looks like, compared to IS, a 40 times bigger port yields 3 times the revenue so RPI is roughly 1:12 which is approximately the same as I'm seeing.

I have to ask...

If this site is anywhere higher than 5th for someone, what other sites are you submitting to and is there a big variation in port size?

When uploading additional formats on FTP you put a file with the same name (e.g. image.png) as your main image (e.g. image.jpg)  in the "additional" subfolder which is automatically associated with the image - I don't do model releases but believe there is a subfolder for these that probably works the same way.

Curiosity satisfied

The doors arent closed, but having to wait a year is ridiculous...

Other agencies do the same thing. You get rejected, you have to wait some amount of time to re-apply.

Sure Stocksy's waiting period is a bit longer than most, but hey, it's their sandbox, their rules.

I'm starting to get the feeling that many of the complaints about Stocksy are rooted in the idea that they aren't micro enough. They don't take typical stock (for the most part). Their rules are different (image exclusive, long re-apply wait period, etc).

As far as I know, Stocksy didn't ask to be mentioned and discussed on a microstock forum. They're not calling themselves microstock. They're not pricing themselves as microstock. And yet it seems like a lot of folks around here wish they conducted themselves in more of a typical microstock company kind of way.

What would be the point of that? Then we'd all just be complaining about yet another typical microstock company emerging.

I�d agree with this, existing work is effectively your CV and, even on micro, there are these with both distinctive style and quality (90% + AR everywhere) that would get them in.  There is very much a �riff raff need not apply� vibe about this but as Mike says, their sandbox, their rules.  Out of curiosity, are there any accepted members who have not had a strong relationship with IS ? (Not suggesting anything, just curious).

Looks like a high standard and not for most of us peons
Notwithstanding the high standard, I suspect you will find similar on cheaper sites but without the same digging needed
Can't see too many shopping there for their blogs
Better than average chance that many of the selected contributors will need other homes for a fair percentage of their images
Subject matter coverage is limited
In most areas of commerce there is the high value low volume market as well as the low value high volume so wish them well

I am really on the fence now. My sales have basically tripled, still not much $$ but the numbers are up. BME few days ago already, in DLs and $$. Last month was good too. If April shows the same trend, I might start uploading again. I stopped back in November so I have about 160 images they never got. But I dont want to reward an agency for being greedy bastids. What to do.

If you don't want to rewards and agency for being bastids you don't upload anything more and delete what is there already - I wonder how many have actually followed through on statements made towards the end of last year?  I'm certainly not going to upload any more with the current RC system unless they change it to something that rewards performance per image instead of just port size and there is a better than average chance I'll delete what's there one I resolve the day job situation.

No problemo - I thought they would auto update on reaching a new level -  no such luck but they did act on the request very quickly.

If you mail support, they will do it for you.

I am fulltime but wish I did better. The problem is I am the only person who would employ me and I am on my second verbal warning for my obstructive attitude. 

Consider this a written warning
