At the begining I told you that Yay (and any other new agency) is pure waste of time, but you didnt listen to me. :p "It is so easy to upload, it is so beautifuly designed, bla bla...." who cares about site design if there are no sales! Money is what counts, not aproved images, or easy workflow....

If may is bad in europe, howcome Fotolia is doing well, and they sell mostly to EU.

Mine are about steady.  If it hadn't been for the threads here I would not have known there was a change.

Wonder if it has to do with portfolio size?  Smaller ones tend to feel the ups and downs more accutely.

my portfolio counts about 6.000 images online

The new system is pushing exclusive images first, and I dont have any exclusive images on DT.

Suljo, đe ti je Fata? Jebes ajstok ba,


Dont worry be happy! hhh

Since change my sales have dropped dramaticaly too. I used to have 10-20$ per day, now when I have 3$ it is "good" day.

Yes, you are right. Come here to Bosnia and you will see there is always somebody around cevapcici .

I am from Bosnia, and I love "cevapi" LOL

I never use "nobody" keyword in my images.

I dont know, it is ridiculous to me. I think buyers never use it. If they do, they will miss a lot of good hamburgers without "nobody" keyword :p

I see a lot of images of objects, food, etc... with "nobody" keyword. I mean, what the...? Why? Do you really think that buyers type "nobody" in search?

this month, 123rf brings me more money than Dreamstime! Sales are never better on 123rf (and never worse on DT)

UDMA Card reader, usb 2.0

50mb/s

why pay when you have PhotoBucket and simmilar... for free?

Who is Yuri Arcurs?

I dont know. IS was almost always on LAST place for me. I hate it anyway. Complicated system, but not much money in return.

30% less money than last month (march)

you should search for

woman health

not womanS health

leave that "s" out.


nobody put keyword "womans" in their images. I know I dont. But everybody put word "woman".

his fotolia profile is not working. he should enter ID number, not username.
Ih he is complaining about such images:





etc... no wonder they were rejected. First they are technicaly bad (poor lightning, overexposed, bad composition (distracting background), low color profile, low contrast, etc...), and second it is not stock material. They would never get sold on fotolia.

They dont hate you. Your images might be ugly. Please post some images so we can see what are we talking about. Thank you.

many threads about this are opened already. we all have such losses, and we got over it, there is nothing you can do. They took back from me over 50$ for such reason, in past 1 year. I can only be angry, and nothing more.

You all forget we are giving our full size images. So he will have all our images full size on CD or what ever... I dont give anybody my images, unless they buy them

Also, I would NEVER give my account details to someone. It is not that I dont trust him, but I just dont want to think about it, and want to sleep peacefully. Maybe he would never steal from me, but I just dont want to think about it.

got mine 15th, MB

QuoteIs it possible to post Editorial images on Fotolia?

NO.

QuoteWhat forms of payment does Fotomina offer?
Payments are sent out via PayPal.
   

Many photographers cant use PayPal for withdrawal purposes. Moneybookers is a MUST HAVE option, if you really want some serious contributors.

But, at some point I will cut 5% of your commision, so I can eventually afford FTP

You are following a very smart industry strategy, called Fotolia commission reduction strategy 

I learn from the best

I ofer you 10% commision
No, you would have to send me images on CD/DVD, no FTP, sorry. But, at some point I will cut 5% of your commision, so I can eventually afford FTP

Whoho! I will be in BIG7 in no time! I promise! You will all see! I deserve a chance!
