To take part in the Photographers promotion program it is required to pass the exam and then perform activation in the Promotion tab. After that, money will be added to the account for each accepted image. Info: http://depositphotos.com/promo.php
The link doesn't work!

Until Crestock actually pay contributors for what they have sold on time, Im not interested in anything they have to say.

I just took a brief look. If that's "microstock", then the term no longer has any meaning.
It never did have a meaning other than stock sold on the cheap. Great portfolio I don't care how it's defined.

Sales OK, but no payment as yet. Requested on the 15th.

What is my wish? Well, I'd like to see more images sold 100s of times on Fotolia like this:

And more ćevapčići sales

.. it's not anyone else's fault that they are willing to work for pennies, it is the agencies fault for not giving EVERYONE a fair/good return..
The agencies can only sell our work at the price we agree to by submitting our images. No company is going to unilaterally decide to pay their suppliers more than they are asking. Of course it is our fault if we will work for pennies... if thats what we are asking for thats what we will get.

b) If the market is to be devalued then if its not JIU/PC then it will be someone else, Flickr or Wikimedia Mayflower or another site
No one is making you devalue your work, you are choosing to do so.

I also opted in and my philosophy is not to throw away 5 cents just because its not 50
Interesting philosophy but you could be throwing away 50 just to get 5. For yourself and others.

Oh! s***

Nice images. The video I guess is all about people getting way too tired waiting for sales to happen there

DanP has gone What's that all about? Do you have to sell your soul to iStock when you are exclusive and not have any independent thoughts??

Does anyone know if the approved application files go directly into your portfolio, or if that is a separate step, as it is on iStock? It's not exactly clear.
I Doubt that it has any workflow similarity as on iStock - It should be on high level of profesionalism than amateurism on iStock... I believe it is one-go through... But, still there may be some catch...
Every site that rejects your images you attack!

Bit of inverted snobbery going on here

Ok!
All clear now... I hope you aren't so picky in terms of 'this or that' as iStock initial reviewers ;-)
I hope you are

I opted in. Actually, I opt in everything. What is the point of opting out any offer or deal with these agencies. At the moment I agreed to sell my pictures for microstock prices I said goodbye to wise and reasonable thinking anyway.
Way to go... I'm giving everything away for free, after all that's what they want

I worked in loss prevention for a major corporation for a number of years after I retired from the military. And, as far as I know, the company is not out anything when a fradulant charge is made on the card. I know the company (very LARGE retailor) I worked for could care less, only if the card was accepted. They got their money. It's the credit card company that takes the loss.
I don't understand how a company can "charge" the loss to you. Believe me, they got their money. It's up to the credit card company to recoup or eat the loss. Seems like a little "double dipping" going on here.
If that is true this really needs looking into.

You know, i think i might delete the original post and replace it with my musings on why i wish Laurin Rinder had never taken up photography, but had studied the martial arts instead. I would so carry buckets of water up flights of stairs in lead shoes at 4am if he were my sensei.

...not a nice image!

Could it be that most critics of the US withholding tax have never before declared their income to their local fiscal authorities and for the first time realize that microstock is a business and that tax fraud is a crime?
ummm... NO!

Good luck old hippy,
Don't be a stranger the more people that question the industry the more we all think.
Best,

Could say the same to you my friend

By 'serious' I meant it doesn't look like he's messing around and is prepared to delete contributor accounts if necessary.
Shows how much SS values its contributors, I guess...
Looks like iStock are going to be getting more exclusives!

Yes well done Jonathan. I hope to see you back here, a true professional.

microstocks sell the sort of "microstock images", very very different from what is selling well on macrostocks.
i wouldn't sell well on micros with my actual pictures.
OK, then you don't need to hang around here any longer. Do you
