Does anyone have their work for sale on  The Art of Business Cards?  If so, any success?

I'm well late to the party but what happened to former Istock long time contributors?
When Istock changed a while back, I don't recall what the program was and how a contributor could have their images sold on the site.  I had a portfolio since 2004-5 of multi-thousands images and some videos and then when they changed, I did nothing and don't know where I stand now. I can certainly phone them tomorrow but thought I would ask others what the program is.  Thank you.

Thank you very much JoAnn and Mat.

With the new Adobe site taking over Fotolia, please, can someone tell me how I find a particular image of mine to modify the selling price range?  Fotolia used to have an icon for a magnifying glass where I could put in image #, find image and adjust the selling price.  Where to do this on Adobe?  Thank you. 

It appears that Fotolia has removed the "button" to click when one wants to see which  images sold on a particular day and cannot find same on Adobe.
Where can I now find the list of sold photos on either Fotolia or Adobe?

Cease and desist or PAY for your work.  Would you not pay them for their work? Would they work for you without their pay?

I was contacted by a company called shopvida.com who wants my portfolio to sell as artwork to be printed on their products which seem to be clothing such as scarves, dresses, tees, pocket squares and so on.
Does anyone have any experience with this company and any thoughts on legitimacy, honesty, success rate, sales, commission, etc.?  Thank you for your response(s).

Does Fotolia really hate travel pics (mostly Landscape)? From my two trips I am lucky to get 25% Acceptance Rate from them. Yet, if I shoot a Tomato on White is hits 100% AR. Next time I travel it will be to a Tomato farm with my white boards in hand...

no they're just strange - i have a lot of travel & even editorial stuff accepted

I was under the impression that FT does not accept/sell editorial images.
Have they changed their policy?

I've been using Bridge to add keywords/titles for about a year in order to keyword/title groups at one time.
The problem only started about a month ago.

My images are not going through with any title/keyword info using Filezzilla for my FTP.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?
Thanks for any input.

Nope, no sales increase here.  But then, I am an Emerald, and they decided some time last year to rig their search engine against high ranking (expensive) members.  Bet they're saving a bundle in royalties.

+1

+2 with drop in commissions.

Mine is on order!

Well, as of this moment the accounts page has disappeared from StockXpert which, I hope, is a result of Istock's being updated as announced top of this site.  As I had literally multi thousands of downloads reported today, if they are legit, I would hate to lose that revenue.

Thank you for the link, Cathy.  So, I am not alone in this phenomena and, perhaps, should not worry about fraudulent usage.

Is anyone else experiencing huge downloads from Thinkstock coming from the Stockxpert catalogue?  I am having massive downloads and am concerned about possible fraudulent usage of my images. Yes, I have contacted support at Stockxpert but wanted to see if I am alone in this.

Just curious as to any possible major benefit/success rate by listing exclusive images at Fotolia.
I have only a very few exclusives but am thinking of starting to produce some pix exclusively for Fotolia for, obviously, the increased sales amount.  Anyone have success with exclusive images there or any thoughts on the subject?

Years ago I informed my beneficiaries as to the agencies selling my images and the methods of payout and the $$ amount necessary for payout and any other pertinent info.  Let's  remember this is a business and we would not want to die and leave an ongoing business to lose income that may be created for decades.  Likewise the agencies are legit businesses and must abide by the laws of their states or countries which protect the rights of the rightful heirs to a business which our portfolios are.  If I were to die with my beneficiaries I would certainly want my earnings to go to an entity other than the agencies and, perhaps, most likely by US law, to my state's unclaimed funds account.

i had two el on the same day phildate did.  i charge the max of 100 as i feel any company buying image will probably be making quite a bit from my photo and  is still getting a bargain for a quality image.
