Glad to at least see I'm not the only one, July has been pathetic. I wont even make half of what I made in March.

Most of the agency files look like standard stock images you could find in the main collection, what makes them worth 6 times the price?

Both will do the same job and will do it equally well.
Apple is prettier and easier to use if you aren't tech savvy, but costs considerably more money for a similar performing machine.
Windows is more complex and less friendly to new users, but a small budget can get you a very powerful machine.

You photos will not look any different if you process them on one instead of the other.

My sales are almost dead the last 3 days

Found my police writing a ticket on Yahoo front page last month.



Also caught one of my Corvette Editorials being used on the Doctor Oz TV show, that was quite the surprise since I don't normally watch his show.

That's a fancy way of saying since they charge more than other sites for their files the contributor ends up making more money than on other sites with higher royalty rates and a lower file price. Whats scary about that ideology is that the more successful they become they believe they can raise prices and lower the contributors percentage since it won't change the amount of cash we earn at the end of the day. While this doesn't directly cause the contributor to lose money, it does make it extremely difficult for us to grow and make more money as the site does. They seem to be looking at our earnings projection as if our cash amount should be a flat line on their charts.

The poll results are pretty much exactly what I figured they would be, except for that one "Yes, definitely" vote. Someone's a real joker...

They're offering clients 10% off their next purchase. They should give contributors some sort of retribution for the earnings we lose while the site is down, perhaps an increase of 10% royalty rate for a day...This once again shows their priority is the people who give them the money, not the ones that make them the money.
