wow that was quick!

USD    249 for  3 months
USD    999 for 6 moths
USD   1899  for a year


your info is not correct...

not 3 months (it is 599$), but 1 month (249$).







also, for photographers:

General Stock Discussion / Re: May 2008 earnings breakdown
« on: June 01, 2008, 04:47 »
50% less income comparing to april.

none of sites were BME (except 123rf, but it is my 2nd month there) this month for me, especialy FT, it was the biggest down.




FT - 38%  (60% down earnings comparing to april)
SS - 35% (30% down)
DT - 10% (10% down)
123rf - 8% (BME 50% up)
StockXpert - 5% (30% down)
IS - 4% (0% up/down)

In total, I earned about 1000$ less than last month. :(

a slight raise:

Hi Fotolians,

I am happy to report that Fotolia has listened to our members and as a result we are raising the commission structure for subscriptions.

The new commission structure will be as follows.

Ranking     Payment / Download

White            0.25 Credit

Bronze          0.26 Credit

Silver             0.27 Credit

Gold              0.28 Credit

Emerald         0.29 Credit

Ruby              0.30 Credit

Sapphire        0.31 Credit

Diamond        0.32 Credit

This is an effort to appeal to the concerns of the majority of contributors. Subscriptions will be released soon with the new commission structure. We hope to raise the commission even higher after we receive more data after the release.  We would appreciate your support as we make public this new service.

but still low.

(there are only 2 sapphire members, and 0 diamond members).

Why can't a credit based subscription be offered? A plan were you pay for so many credits to download  images that are priced by the size.  This would be fair and Fotolia would still generate alot of business!

how do you imagine that?

600 credits for 200$ ?

than FT must pay to photographer 300$, where is the profit for them? LOL!

you get 0.23 per sale. (that is what you get, dont make up some weird mathematics like you never saw subsription site, and talking about some 8 cents, dont be ridiculous).

.23 credits is 0.23 dollars. however it is still too much low. 0.5 would be fair. (for every site).

prices of oil increeases, every product, food etc... prices increases, only our work prices are lower and lower.... come on.... if this continues they will be spiting in our faces, and we will be still smiling.

I think that main problem here is too many photographers. If you dont want to participate, thats ok, there will be somebody else to replace you. Photographers are not important any more. Even Yuri. There a ton of photographers who copy his work, some are doing very well. If Yuri is replaceable, then we all are.... they dont give a rats ass about us.

General Stock Discussion / Re: What's your top earner?
« on: May 30, 2008, 02:13 »
It used to be FT a month ago, but since they changed their search engine, no SS is my top earner.

783
funny thing, I earn more $$ from 123rf than from istock. I dont know, perhaps my images are not what IS buyers want, but I dont know, I do well on other agencies. IS is worst earner for me. Dont like it at all. Slow upload process, low money....

FT vs DT?
 
FT has problems lately with low sales, and If they dont improve them selves, than I would vote for DT....

Chode, you are new at 123rf how is your experience? I remember you werent sure about uploading there

In first month I earned $85 on 123rf. But on Istock i am already 4 months, and I didnt reach  $80 yet.

Hope they will fix this soon..

there is nothing to fix. I wrote to support few days ago, they responded:

There are no plans to reverse it back exactly to the old way. We are making changes to it to improve sales overall for Fotolia and our contributors. We appreciate your feedback and wish you a lot of success.

this is the way it will be.

What I find disturbing is my DLs for my first Monday were 18 for a portfolio of 7; for my second Monday it was 20 DLs for a portfolio of 192. At this rate I'll need to produce around 20,000 images per week to make a living. Better quit messing with these forums and get to work!!

dont worry, I sell about 20 per day with 2700 images on line. lol. only few days when I upload large new batch my sales jump to about 50-60 per day, and few days later it gets back to 20 again.....

If Yuri sign it, believe me, they will listen. And I hope many silver and gold members will too.

Cappy was a silver member, he deleted over 1000 great images from his portfolio and left. Few of them also announced they will leave FT if this continues... If nothing changes soon, I wont upload new images at FT, its not worth it for couple of dollars. I invest a lot of money in my images and I want it back, and earn some above what I spent.
