Hi guys,

We're inviting you to participate in a conference call on Thursday 7/31 at 2pm Easter to discuss these changes further. We want to be as open as we can about this.

Please see details at http://www.stockxpert.com/forum.phtml?f=showtopic&n=15651.

Thanks!
-Steve

This is by far the best effort from a stock company showing their willingness to listen to its contributors and I hope it will not be listening without actions.

oh money is in .. finally ...

Thanks for the info .. will try to contact them again.

They reply earlier saying payment has been made to me and even give me a paypal reference number. I query paypal about it but they told me that the reference number is not for my account ..

well I think my money is gone ..

If i still dun get my last payment .. can I do anything about it??

Just sharing a photo of an exhibit in Zurich

interesting concept ... great work leaf!

Merry Xmas to all and Happy 2008!!

My Goal for 2008

1) Increase my portfolio by 50-100 images a month

2) 25% increase in monthly income

3) Get a new camera possibly the Nikon D300

4) Enjoy Life ...

Nov 04 submitted my first 2 pics onto SS ..

but actual decent income starts coming in Feb 04

Mine is issimple.com

I like it very much cause i can just append anything to the front as sub-domain eg stockphoto.issimple.com, photography.issimple.com

But so far .. not much work done on it ..

1300+ files online .. 43 downloads ..

13 for sept so far

Rank (all times)  93
Rank (7 days)    153
Portfolio:  1765
photos sold: 3920

My aim is to be ranked 50 or lower by the end of the year! 

Looking at the photo sold vs ranking ... fotolia's ranking is base on income and not by download

Oh CS does charge which is the reason why now i try to use my basic account for all payout

Quote from: dbvirago on May 10, 2007, 15:09
I have a premier account also. Most microstocks pay me and I don't get charged a fee. I just got my first payout from CS and there was a fee attached. I think it is a combination of the type account you have and how the agency submits payment.  If LO sticks with a $100 payout, I don't know when that will happen.

BS does bring in decent money for me ..

CanStockPhoto does not charge any fee.. not that i know of.

the reason why i get to pay a fee on paypal is because i am using premier account. But it's possible to waive it if the stock site do something about it

I suppose that's the main reason. Silly of me as well. Now I put my "basic" paypal account as the payout email to avoid the troubles.

Just to bring this point out in case others are not aware of it

Quote from: photoshow on May 10, 2007, 03:36
Well I doubt LO is sending out enough payouts just yet tpo qualify for mass payments which would remove the fees. In the meantime if the fees are to much for you I suppose you could always request a check but banks charging fees is nothing new.

Finally manage my first payout from LO. The payout to my paypal account (premier account) resulted in me being charge a fee.

If some other stock site can payout to premier account on paypal without the need for me to pay a fee. I suppose LO can do something about it too.

I am very impress by CanStockPhoto auto keyword suggestion and automatic catergory insertion. All i need to do after FTP is to approve them

1 per 114.

CanStockPhoto is the lowest earner among all. about $15 a month .. hahah. that will work out to about $180 per year. Good enough for me to get candies for my girl

haha

I prefer to trust my own chart base on earnings .. LOL

no point having a great number of hits if my photo will not sell there.

mine is about 80% of previous month.

From what I remember when i started stock about 2 years back. April has always been a lousy month.

At least I think the $500 goal is achievable in SS and definitely something to work towards for those who have yet to reach $500

I would defiantly pay a token for that if it meant being on the first page, however if there are 100, or 500 side show images for a certain keyword term (and there will be in the future if people place 50% of the portfolio in the sideshow), and only 8 are shown on the first page - it would almost be better to take your chances with the regular search. 

or take this example.
in a few years a keyword term YYY has 500 search results.  People like the sideshow feature and many put 50% of their images in the sideshow - there is now 200 of the images in the YYY search in the sideshow.
-of the sideshow images only 8 are shown but they are apparently shown is random order and sorted every time, so any given image would be shown in 1 out of every 25 searches.  If you have an image in the main search that comes up in page 1 it is shown 25 out of 25 searches.... the side show would NOT be the best option.  Lucky oliver is down right now so i don't know how many images it shows on a page but maybe 50 - that means the image in our example has a 1/10 chance of getting on the first page with the regular search.

I think in the end, the sideshow would only be worth it for images that are stuck at the bottom of the search results and are neglected.

Agree with Leaf 100%.
