I have a question, I use google using the links, for example, the link of my photo on SS ... is it as good as to upload the photo on google?

thanks

Is it news footage?

yes, from an helicopter... the video is not there anymore....

In short, Netflix bought a video on Pond5 (news footage) that he put in a movie ... a mini scandal, here in Quebec ... who put the video for sale?

same for me, very bad month... a video sold around $ 50 will save the month ...

I have left my portfolio at 4 agencies, SS, DT and DP! havent uploaded for a year, I am only active and uploading to Adobe/Ft and Istock!....youre right though in the sense that smaller agencies are quite useless!

I started a year and a half ago with (photos): DT, 123, Almy, SS, IS, AS and Cva. I do not upload anymore: DT, 123. Rare sales with Cva and Almy, by cons, big sales on ALMY ...

My top (for $) is IS, followed by SS, AS and Almy.

I occasionally sell 4k videos on SS and Pd5 (and I contribute on AS, Pd5, SS and StoryB). No sales of videos on AS and StoryB.

I keep SS only because I sell videos, my average RDP on this site is the worst of all.

This month, I sold a video on SS (around $ 50), no sales of photos since? AS, a big sale of $ 94, no sales of photos since ...

...

Oh I'm a video novice too, as I said I've only got around twenty 4k timelapses I captured with my Canon 6D. Some encouraging sales though for such a small amount.

Next step is to get a full-frame mirrorless camera that can do normal 4k video, looking at getting either a Sony A7 III or Canon EOS R.

Switching systems will be expensive but has to be done really, think mirrorless will take over now.

I also just got an iPhone XR which does reasonable 4k video, handy for places that I can't use a big camera for some 4k editorial video.

Go for the Panasocin GH5, for video is the best in my expirence, I had the sony a7sII, and it was amazing, but the GH5 has 4K 60 p, and 180 fps in 1080... For stock it works (Panasonic doesnt pay me hehehehehe)

Good article brasilnuts, I saw that you visit Spain (Seville) I live near, in Cádiz

I have the pana g85, my 4k videos are amazing!

Nice post Brasilnuts

I know it might not seem like much (since I've mainly focused on videos).

But, recently decided to upload some of my images as well.

Currently I have a HUGE image portfolio of a grand whopping total of about 50 images Which, probably only took me about 20 hours to curate, edit, keyword, etc... so (at the moment) my 'effective' salary for images is about $0.02/hour...

BUT... it's still pretty cool the idea of having made a sale from an image I took! (I suppose I am thinking the 'super' amazing thing is that... with the "2 million images uploaded" this week thing from shutterstock, mine happened to be one of the ones that was purchased (via subscription). And I didn't have to upload 50,000 variations of the same thing to get that...!

Now I just need to figure out how to multiply that number by about 1,000,000 per month... and I'll be set!

Congrats! I started with a portfolio of about 100 photos - one and half year ago. Today, I have about 1500 with some agencies and around100 4k videos ... I do not regret at all, I have a beautiful progresssion which is confirmed with the number of sale and $.

Hi, I only have videos on P5, and sometimes, nice sales. I ask a question to those who have a portfolio of photos on this site, do you sell? Is it worth it to put in some effort?

So, a lot of people are happy! I checked my button for payment and everything seems to work.

Always nice to have big sales!

I am very happy with an email I received today:

christiano, you've made a sale!
Your commission $ 94.05

My biggest sale so far (contributor for 1 year and a half).

I hope to have many other messages like this one!

Wemark just replied to this to me. This was the most interesting part of their message.
      "I believe that we'll speed up the review process for all photographers around the second half of 2019"                           

I also ask them to delete my account. Wonder how long that will take.

you can erase all your pictures by yourself. You just have to select the entire batch and click  the trash bin button.
that's it.

Where is Wemark. Still in business. My images are still not reviewed. Anyone had their images review ?   I am guessing another one bites the DUST.

same for me. i deleted my account last week. no more time to waste...

I tried several times since this morning (5/11/2018)... server error.

Just like I did recently with twenty20, I just deleted my account. Another 2 seconds of my time well spent.

Hi,  i had a sale (31-10-2018) that appears in microstockr but not on the site of Alamy... is it normal?

Where does Microstocker get the data? From Alamy, so what you are saying is logically impossible. Doesn't mean it's not true, but since the reports come from Alamy, how would Microstocker see this and not you? 

DACS US the transfer fee is high, I'd rather just let AL do the work.

Good question, no idea how microstockr could see ... but I can say that Alamy updated the information at the end of the day while microstockr had displayed the sale in the morning, the same day ...

So Sammy's reply #1 was correct.

100% correct!

You may need to wait for the next server update on Alamy to see it.

If you can't wait click the "Download Sales Report" link on your Alamy dashboard
then

where it says "Please enter a date range " put todays date as the end date

and select "Date of Invoice" instead of date paid and click the "Go" button and it should show sales up to and including todays date.

I learn something! thanks

the worst for me (i contribute to 6).
I ask them to delete my account a few weeks ago.
a big 18,37$ since a year!!!! a big joke.

My best score so far - look the graph. Great progression with IS, not the same with SS and AS 

Downloaded pic stats for september are online... but not the royalties statement.

First, you're not thinking globally and the agencies are (more or less) global in their sales. Friday in the US is Saturday in Australia for example. Generally, in my experience, Saturday in the US is the worst day of the 7 as it's a day off for most people that day.

I assume you're thinking about consumer uses of stock versus business uses, but I haven't seen any content differences, just volume ones. That's probably going to vary depending on portfolios.

But even if you could get an answer to this question, what use would it be?

Who are you to tell me that I'm not thinking globally? Do you know me? Do you know how much it's my effort in stock market photography?

If you judged me by my portfolio, sorry to disappoint you but you are completely wrong about me!

Relax
Read the reply and take it for what it's worth for it's information
No need to take it personally

if I had the same answer to this same question, I would have taken it positively ... she answered perfectly. Each person has a different perception, but I do not see any problem in this beautiful answer, none! Then to answer, same thing for me, I sell anything on weekends, only the volume is very different.
