thank you for the link.

so, I forgot it, sorry - here is my portfolio. What do the experts say? Is it possible with 1000$ in 3-6 month like rene says?

thank you.
Anja, I am at SS since more then 1 year with Illustration and Video. I earn only a few $ but I would have the "foot in the door", because of that I am accepted at about 8 agencys and have Video and Illu there for more then 1 year.
So I have passed already the first 500$ step at SS. (I think I must not new accepted with photo... or?)

What would be a good number of files for upload as starter? 100 in a week? More? less? Or is the risk for "sinking like a stone in nirwana" to high for this pictures if I upload to much?

Hi rene
Thanks... but my question is too - is this realistic "today" or was it realistic 4 years before

If I go to independed, I start as Zero with photo.

and another question - how long does it need to get all files into the PP of istock? In the moment there are only about 100 old files in. I have read that independents make more of their money with PP than istock.

thanks

Hi, I am exclusve at istock for some years. My income rises until 2012, since end of 2012 it drops down very sloooooow, but it drops down. The downloads are falling very fast since istock kills the XS size. I have produced mostly for web concepts and not for fashion or high end customers. The changes of istock in the last years brought me about the same money, and more and more falling downloads. I think its similar at the most of you.

Well - the change NOW I see with very mixed emotions. I produced the mose photos for web - who should pay for a web concept 40$?
Yes, its to early to say anything - but I think about droping my crown. I think about - and I want to ask here for some inspirations for or against my desicion.

I have about 5000 files , earn in the moment about 1000$ (but not this month) - is this realistic to earn the same "outside"? How long should it need to get this sum? I know, its hypothetic, but the guys of you are droping down the crown - how long have you needed?

(sorry for my english)

I think you can only added to the FB group if you know anybody who is inside and he can invites you. Then the admin can check you. I think the project is in a sensitive beginning phase and they must try to "save" as much as possible until the project can go official online. because of that the group is now "hidden". Its not because of "big members" or "family faces".
