I don't have much english vocabulary, well, I have more now that I've been on microstock for more than 1 year, but sometimes it's hard to find the words... so what I do is add my keywords and then I watch other's images just in case I missed something important... but copy and paste is sooo lazy! It reminds me of that David Byrne song...

Off Topic / Re: Problems with moneybookers?
« on: December 17, 2007, 14:14 »
Had the same problems 2 months ago.
The best thing to do, in my expirience, is call them. Is the fastest way.
I ended up sending my scanned ID, this way my new limit transaction is USD 18.000.

Good luck!

IS is:
my best earner by far,
where I started,
where I learned the most,
and will be going exclusive on february... so yes, IS is the one I choose.

I got a payment on december 3rd and it was processed within 2 days. Maybe I was lucky...

Maybe it was because I use Moneybookers... :)

The jpeg version sells a lot less than the vector, but you can upload both.

Latex, get a VISA card.

I just transfer my money bookers earnings straight to my credit card.

I wish I could! I am on the fourth world... I have a VISA card, but can't do that. We don't even have debit cards here...  :-\

I just have Moneyboockers here, so I have no choice.
Everything was going perfect until my bank change the swift code. They start to charge me $20 on every withdraw. I asked why, they answer they didn't make the charge, and my bank didn't, so... I can't do anything.
One day they send me an email saying my bank account is incorrect... it isn't, so I call them to England, they say I have to verify it again. I am still waiting for an answer... meanwhile I have virtual $1200 that I can't use...
Conclussion: I really don't like Moneybookers.

« on: November 08, 2007, 08:36 »
Wrong!...Reviewers don't have have VACATION benefits. They don't get paid sick days,
nor do they have holidays off. In fact, anytime they don't work....they don't get paid period!

that doesn't mean they can't take vacation -
I'm a self employed photographer - I don't have vacation benefits, or get paid for sick days, or have holidays 'off' ... when I don't work I don't get paid..... I still take vacation though ie... time when i don't work.

same here, but not photographer... designer.

That might be the case KR, but remember that as an exclusive black diamond Lise will be getting twice the commission payout compared to Yuri.  That also means the other sites would have to be able to make up more than half her present earnings to justify NOT being exclusive.

When you consider that the top producers at places like FT and DT have TOTAL sales of around 50,000, producing an extra 100,000 sales for Lise every six months would be a very tall order.  A VERY tall order indeed.

yep... and yuri has to pay a lot of $$$ to his team... i think lise works just with her boyfriend.

I use illustrator, but use the Inkscape's auto trace tool because I like the results better.

Don't be sad, Adelaide, it all depends on the time and $$$ you invest, like on any other business. I am more than 40 hours a week on this, for me is a full time job. You can do it too! I think you have what it takes  :).
