I really didn't expect this place to be such a hostile environment, there's some toxic people here but i'm glad everyone isn't like this. Thank you to the 1 genuine response iv'e had from this forum.

Tell us who you are and what academic institution you are studying at and you might find us less so but I'm guessing you won't.

The thing is - you have no credibility. A number of people are university educated here, so know that you are full of crap.

a) You don't wait 3 weeks before your thesis is due to do a survey. A thesis usually takes 1-2 years, and this is something that would be done at the beginning. Unless this is an undergraduate course, in which case calling it a 'diseration' is not the correct term to describe what you are writing, but rather a paper.
b) Your questions are too generic to derive any meaningful data. The only one that appears somewhat detailed (perhaps disguised to hide your true intent) - is - "which stock clip sells the best and go into detail".

Just an FYI... dissertation is the correct term for a final year paper in the UK.

�As the Arctic gets warmer and warmer, the severe weather picks up,� Dr. Cohen said.

and a different climatologist says

�The frequency of cold waves have decreased during the past fifty years, not increased. That alone shows that such claims are baseless,� Mass said.

 

Surely not all 'severe weather' constitutes cold waves, so it's possible for there to be an increase in severe weather while still having a decrease in cold spells?

I upload to all the ones you've mentioned. The last three I wouldn't have bothered if I knew then what i know now.

DepositPhotos generates 0% of my total revenue.
123RF generates about 0.1% of my total revenue
MotionElements generates about 1% of my total revenue.

You might do better you never know. The only one you haven't listed which generates me more than 1% is iStock, which comes in at 3% of my total revenue... but the commission split is terrible and they're far from the best of agencies, so it's up to you whether you give them a try or not.

Well the prices went from $49 to $79... so their USP was that they were $30 cheaper than most other places. Now they're the same price as most other places, so people may as well shop around. Probably other reasons as well, but I'm sure that has a bit of an impact.

I've noticed for the past couple of weeks that when I go to the submit.shutterstock.com site the page won't load and it says unsecure site next to the web address. Then, when I refresh the page, it loads and brings up the https version of the address. Not sure if it's related, but had never encountered that before a couple of weeks ago.

I don't want to edit !  just upload !! 

He's on about your buyers... they most likely will want to edit to some extent.

Or just a change to the search algorithm which has resulted in some people benefiting and some people losing out.

Hi - wondering if we get 50% of the extended license fee if a buyer chooses it?

Sure do.

Yeah, if you've got the business account version then the $3 changes to $50/$100.

Big drop for me in September, so I'm assuming there wasa change to the search engine... looks like I missed out from the changes this time round!

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!

Alright calm down! If you've put so much effort in, then you'd think you'd know the answer to such a simple question. (Note to self: don't help cicerocastro... he'll take it the wrong way and kick off.)

thats my question. If you make money selling photos and videos on microstock tell us your secret, can I spend my full time to upload all my stock? worth it to leave my current job? tell your secret!

The secret is a four letter word.

Starts with "W". Ends with "K". And in between, contains the letters "OR".

Wordmark?! Ah wait... four letters, sorry.
