Try Vodoo or look at your 99 with high concentration and try to imagine a 100 while refreshing the page each 5 min. I made a thousand downloads this way :) Small animal sacrifice worked sometimes but not often as making a trip to southern hemisphere to flush a toilet making water twirl the wrond side

Hmmm I just did all that even got to the southern hemisphere in the last 5 mins and back and nothing lol. I think your a witch lol

Anton, maybe your referral is waiting for his/her ID to be approved by SS

more likely yes. hopefully anyway

I don't want to prove anybody wrong :). I may take these lines away of course. Then, would it sell better, then 6 individual images ? According to your experience - what is more profitable ?

Well I know that you dont want to give away 6 images in 1 but personally I say still do it that way there are so many fitness images out there and if you offer six exercises all same model same outfit as yours is then I think you would sell it much much more that way. Why not upload it with the lines taken out and upload all images seperately incase a buyer might just want one of those exercises but a larger file.

I added these lines not only for esthetic reasons (I thought it looked well, like a background - ready to use), but also to avoid giving away 6 pictures in one.
But look at that picture:
http://www.shutterstock.com/results.mhtml#photo_id=1221074

Although it is cut with lines it is very popular


The difference with yours though is that it would only be used by a very specific buyer and they would always want the full images otherwise they wouldnt purchase it but if need be give it a go you may prove us wrong :)

Maybe its spam if both of you got this mail. I never got an email about any of my goldcalves signing in ( I think)...  Was there any weird links about weird stuff in it:)

No its not i spoke to the person today as he was asking info about the site

As a personal trainer I can tell you now that personally it looks great but I dont think it will sell well. People are looking for full images of exercises and you have a couple where a line cuts off the body. That to any gym or fitness professional will not be useable.

I think if you uploaded it without the lines then it could sell very very well

Anton,

I got a similar email from someone 2 days ago. They told me they signed up through my referral link. However, Shutterstock is still supposed to approve their ID adn that takes 24 to 48 hours. I am also waiting for the referral to appear in my list so let's see...

Thats good to know Denis at least there is still hope :)

Ive not had a single one yet on any site :( I feel left out lol

You don't get referral money by somebody just signing up. If so, everybody could sign up with a faked account. You get money when the person buys or sells something of course. If it's a photographer, you will have to wait till he gets accepted and makes his first sales.

I know that but you have a section where you can see a list of your referred photographers and mine doesnt have anyone on there so im guessing they have signed up but it hasnt counted my referral.

Shutterstock.com / Finally get referral and nothing shows up :(
« on: February 11, 2009, 13:35 »
I got an email from someone just now telling me that this morning he signed up to shutterstock via my link (which is a referral link)

Nothing shows on my page that the person is my referral.

Anyone know why, does the person have to get accepted first or something or do they update there system every 24hrs maybe so will see it then?

Is annoying lol

My rant over :p

« on: February 10, 2009, 18:45 »
I would say try again over time you might have improved as a photographer and taken better images so you may get more acceptances. No harm giving it a try

94
Just uploaded my first hdr to stock we shall see if its accepted anywhere :)


95
HDR is something I want to start doing soon. A friend of mine on istock sells a lot of his hdr images and they do look fantastic but from doing searches on different sites I dont think they are big sellers

Hm , now Im confused , more than what ? More then nothing that was publicly written , or more then anton9 wrote in his PM ?

You cant add something that wasn't mentioned , if you don't know what was mentioned , and it would be waste of time and forum space mentioning same thing twice , cause It was probably mentioned , or it wasn't ?


LMAO! I think we'll have to let our young lovers have their own little 'secret squirrel club'.


You really do sound pathetic so next time I see in a thread someone has sent a private message ill assume they think its a dating site. Grow up
