Sorry for the ignorance, I am not an AI expert (only uses it for silhouettes), but why do you not just export directly from AI to JPG format?
Thanks for the feedback guys, will take your suggestions on board - including exporting direct from Illustrator and seeing if that helps. The only reason I haven't till now is I am WAY more comfortable in photoshop, and as far as I am aware opening an .ai file and then exporting shouldn't result in any loss in photoshop compared to Illustrator, but you're right, it is an extra step for no apparent reason!

oh, and just a minor thing - your favicon is almost identical to Superhugs! No biggie, just something I noticed.

Saw some of the site changes, looking forward to the second part coming, as it certainly has some flaws and bugs.
but nice to see views re-instated.

I've just hit my first payout, after starting on SS just over two months ago. I want to thank everyone here for their amazing support - all my questions have been answered by people here in such a generous way.
In the first month I had about 100 vector images, and in the second about 400. With absolutely no self-promotion I've hit $75 (all 25-a-day subscriptions apart from 5 On-Demand).
I'm interested to know whether you think this is good going, super fast or super slow?
I'm also starting an experiment to compare how my sales do with the help of social networking. I've started a FB and Twitter presence and am putting up some articles on Squidoo. I'll report back and let you know how my sales are affected in another 2 months or so.
I'd appreciated it if you could Like my FB page or follow us on twitter @TnTDesignsZA to help get some momentum going!
Thanks again for the friendly helping hand,
Toni @ TnT Designs Africa
Hey TnT, nice work!! I think you have done really, really well.I made just $55 in my first two months at SS, albeit with photos and nowhere near 400 images. So I think you should be very happy! All the best with it

Hey Leaf,
I have tried numerous times to change my avatar, and unless it's just a caching thing and it has changed at others end, I can't get it to change.
I just want to upload a new one.
Any thoughts?

Has the name change killed it?
After having a reasonable month last month, I have had a SINGLE image view since the change, 11 days ago!!
Anyone else?
where do you see the views ??
In the contributor login section, there is the menu on the left, I think it's just above royalties from memory. It doesn't show which images have had views, just a total amount of views for the day.

Might well be Best Match, but this month is horrible so far. Even more annoying is last month was a BME, so was hoping for that upward trend to continue, but a very, very slow start to the month so far.

Back to topic - yep, I've had those 9c sales too sadly, even a 7c one! Luckily they're very few and far between.

Need some advice... Recently submitted a batch containing both photos and illustrations to Alamy. First time submitting jpeg illustrations, always photos previously. Have a perfect record for QC with nearly 50 submissions totalling 1000 images online. It took over a month to get a QC result, which in the end was a fail (my first, oh no!). The reason - one of my illustrations. I asked about it further, and got sent these crops of the offending image.    Now I can see the problem, but I have no idea why this problem has happened. Anyone have any experience with this? Vectors created in Illustrator CS5, then opened in Photoshop CS5 in RGB mode and saved as highest quality JPEG (12). Seems to be just a problem with gradient banding, not anything else - but why would this have happened when saving to best quality jpeg? Look forward to your thoughts

1200 vectors like the ones you showed us = $300-$500 per month approx, if you are on all the major sites I would think.
It could be way more, you'd just need to see how buyers at different agencies respond to your work.

Nice guide, thanks
Hey Leighh, glad it helped. You have some nice shots - the glowing boots is weirding me out!

Mines still at 50. Could it be based on acceptance rate perhaps? Not that they publish those figures explicitly, but surely they keep them

2 sales in 2010
8 sales in 2011
15 sales in 2012
Thanks luis. Do they sell for more than sub prices if you don't mind me asking? Not sure I want another site with a dribble of 30cent sales.

This is VERY interesting stuff. Hopefully some of the company reps will care to chime in on this thread and explain why they are out of line with the rest of the industry.

Have been toying with the idea of uploading my port to Feature Pics for some time now, and just wanted an update from anyone currently with them... I see they make it into the Poll Results (just) - Is anyone REALLY getting sales there? Is it for more than a few cents per sale? Thanks in advance

had a great last two days, in a pretty good overall month, making it a 3rd BME (not third in a row, third overall)
Definitely finding the level increase is improving earnings.

Done, the POD restriction is added to both basic and EL. Thank you.
Thanks for that, just a note thought, seems you used the original one as a starting point, with many spelling mistakes like itmes, plillow again. plus weird "" (unless thats just how it's showing up at my end). Just thought you'd want to know seeing its a legal document.

Hey Zager, yeah that was the issue. Look forward to the fix.

Cheers AYCS!
Not so sure what SOFT is helpful for yet, but only spent a minute on it. Good to know you are working on things though.

AYCS has made it into the Poll results (even if it is last)! But still, great result for such a new library. Seen a couple of sales this month so hoping that's a sign of good things to come. Keep up good work AYCS! Oh and also I hope the EL agreement is updated soon, I would like to tick that box
