iStockPhoto.com / Re: does your Photo+ quota ever increase?
« on: November 13, 2012, 19:11 »
yep, mine was increasing steadily. But just in the last week or so it has come to a standstill despite new files being approved and sales coming in. Wondering if there is just one more bug to add to the list, with photo+ slots not becoming available when they should...

little bit time consuming, but made a start on it anyway - http://www.shutterstock.com/gallery-580903/artist-picks

Not being one to get into social networking, I'm not sure how useful this will prove to be. But still, I am so glad to see SS implementing new features, making old ones better - and all the while not breaking their site to do so!

General Stock Discussion / Re: Fotolia and Travel Pics
« on: November 09, 2012, 02:18 »
Does Fotolia really hate travel pics (mostly Landscape)? From my two trips I am lucky to get 25% Acceptance Rate from them. Yet, if I shoot a Tomato on White is hits 100% AR. Next time I travel it will be to a Tomato farm with my white boards in hand...

I find the same tab62, landscapes and nature in general, almost 70% rejected. Anything isolated, with a person, in studio, vector or otherwise - 100% acceptance.

Plus, I think (enter conspiracy theory) that they take a look at your uploads before you have even submitted them. I have had some uploads waiting in my admin section for a few days and just submitted some of them - within UNDER A MINUTE they were reviewed, some rejected, some accepted.

didn't check your keywords, but at a quick glance perhaps in the 150-200 dl/month range would be my stab in the dark. Others may disagree.

you have some nice shots :)

Ok this is getting weirder....

The exact same file was just bought for the exact same amount - 7.87 again. Bought on the same day as the refund for it, just a few hours apart.

Anyone else? Now I'm lost as to how to explain this one...

Dreamstime.com / DT Down - 502 Bad Gateway?
« on: November 08, 2012, 00:39 »
Dreamstime just went down for me. No proper redirect page or anything, just a white screen with

"502 Bad Gateway

nginx"

written on it.

Not good. Wont help an already slow start to November.

734
I never bothered with them after seeing their website, and hearing of the difficulties with uploading. I often wondered if I was right not to try them, but watching their rapid decline on the Poll Results makes me thinks they were never worth being with in the first place.

Thanks for confirming it tab62 and steheap

Hmmm it does seem like a bunch of us had a sale on the 6th refunded on the 7th.  I'm a small fish and don't get a sale very often which makes it even more suspicious.  My sale was for a very low price - $7.87.   What about you other people?

7.87 - exactly the same. Something definitely went down. If it was CC fraud at least they were quick about correcting it.

Getting sales, but slower than usual thats for sure.

Just had a sale on the 6th, refunded on the 7th. Haven't had that before. Perhaps CC fraud, if it's happened to a few of us?

Mostly Google searches for me, therefore SEO is hugely important.

Also, I personally would a prefer a reasonable one-off cost to buy the software (after a free trial to test it out) rather than a subscription model.

If you can make this happen, I would seriously be interested, but all the elements need to be there. Thanks for even contemplating it - it's a huge job!

actually, is there a single site that is UP based on updowner.com? It even shows Apple.com tanking, dropping 6.9 MILLION users since april!

Hi, Paulo,

glad that You selling on Photospin with success.
How many did You uploaded ?
And sold ?
Photos ?
Thx in advance

606 Files, 30 sold on October.  5 so far, where 2 were sold for 27$.

The bad: In October 2 files hit the "infamous" 0.03$ value.

Let's see how it goes on next months ( My portfolio is small and  is not as "commercial" as it should be )

Wow, interesting stuff thanks for sharing. I was looking at their payment page, and it states this:

"Each revenue split is based upon the number of total downloads of your images per customer per month."

Meaning what exactly - you will never know what you are supposed to be paid? Am i reading that right?

And 0.03cents in value for a sale.......really?.....iStock will be jealous. ;)

You are not going crazy, here it is :-)

Thats the one!! Awesome thanks jm :)

So - any plans to bring that back I wonder?

743
excel, I track monthly earnings, files online, and payouts. It automagically gives me my earnings total for the year for tax, monthly totals for each library, and yearly totals for each library.

More than enough I'd reckon

Thanks anita, so i'm not going crazy, someone else remembers it too!

Something else we have no info on as far as I can tell - what is an LEL license worth with their RC system? This license isn't even listed, although it is available to certain clients (i sold one in October). So what do we get for those?

« on: November 01, 2012, 19:17 »
thanks leaf, but no, different thing.

Remember in the last site you could see each members "rank" on Dreamstime & IS? So it was basically a long list that showed how many sales you had versus everyone else on this forum? (at those two sites).

No big deal, was just curious if it was still around, thats all

Site Related / The old "Rank" page - gone?
« on: October 31, 2012, 23:56 »
I might have missed this one in a previous thread, but remember the old "rank" page on the site before the upgrade, where it showed you members rankings on DT and IS based on sales?

Is this still here, or gone for good? Can't find it.

It was a good time waster browsing through it..  ;)

New Sites - General / Re: Pocketstock
« on: October 31, 2012, 23:47 »
Reviving old thread, as it seems they are tinkering with prices hugely

This is from one of my files...

 X Small 484x311 px $ 2.00
 
Small 884x567 px $ 4.00

Medium 1767x1133 px $ 8.00

Large 2793x1791 px $ 11.00

X Large 4031x2584 px $ 14.00

Werent these WAY higher when we all signed up? Not sure many will be happy with that, so many will only join sites that are priced higher than where they already are submitting to.

Then again, with zero sales, who really cares...

highest number of sales in SS ever (not highest revenue - who got all my OD's this month!!??) ;)

Decent all round on other sites, giving consistent growth in line with my goals. Happy about that.

Although got HEAPS of subs on Veer this month, which lowered rpd massively there. Anyone else experience the same at Veer lately?

Overall a pretty good month :)

Perhaps a silly question, but has anyone tried using wordpress with a woocart add-on? I'm pretty sure that allows digital downloads in some form, but perhaps like microstockinsider mentioned, it may be too labour intensive, im not sure.

Anyone tried a wordpress-related solution with an ecommerce add-on?

(forgive me if even asking this question is too naive - i've not tried either ktools or any other solution, but its something ive got on the drawing board for down the track)
