General Stock Discussion / Re: I doubt paypal now

I'm in the UK, my PayPal balance fluctuates ever day depending on what the GBP is doing against the dollar. One day it went down by 40 dollars, then slowly crept back up. Confusing at first, but makes sense now.

Relief

It isn't reflecting changes in currency exchange rates is it? Perhaps showing you what different balances are currently worth in your chosen currency?

I have no idea but this is scary

General Stock Discussion / I doubt paypal now
« on: March 15, 2017, 09:49 »
So here is the story. As a microstocker, i get paid through paypal. Everything was cool until the day i noticed a decrease in my paypal balance. No transaction was made but my money decreased! For example if i had $100.56 it changed to 100.35 without me going through any transaction. They decrease in a way you cant notice. But i made sure i was right. I screen shot my balance and the day after i checked and i was changed!! No doubt about it. Anyone here ever faced this issue cause i don't know any more money transaction companies better than paypal when it comes to reliance.

How much do you submit per Bach? Do you prefer bulk submission or meager amounts?

Why not both? Just not on the same outlets.

What you mean by not on the same outlet?

General Stock Discussion / Quantity vs quality
« on: February 16, 2017, 22:37 »
Would you rather give priority to quantity over quality in this era of microstock where million files are added monthly knowing your "one" super quality image will highly go unseen?

hey all
i want to know how many vector files should i have to make at least $100 per month ?

One is enough. But it has to be a good one.

Thats hard right!!! He said $100 not 100 dwl per month. I doubt anyone could make this with only one image.

Well since
I'm not so oldie in this i cant target big things for the moment. So let's say a $500 monthly would be great. Yea it would be great but is it attainable Today, let's say several agencies combined? Share your experience.

$500? Absolutely. I think people here are more talking $5,000 being a reasonable goal to be able to do this a bit more seriously.
5000 seriously? Are there even microstockers making this much monthly.

There are contributors living in places where $500 US per month is a living wage, able to support a family and other places where that much is merely a drop in the bucket. It's not just how much you upload but how far the US dollar goes in your part of the world that determines "success".

Yup true.

Well i'm not so experienced in micro, have been on for about two years now, uploading on and off. This last 3 months i'v seen lots of progress, increasing amount of dwl, and each month turn out to be bme. This December was the best ever. Then yesterday i read about how things are not really what they seem to be! I read that things are good for newbies only, those of the .25 group. I swear i'm getting sales more than ever every time i increase my port. But....! I'm afraid. Am I losing my time to get nothing in return in the long run? Am I being fooled with those daily dwl? What is the reality of the 'success' i am witnessing daily? Please share with me your experience. I made a resolution to take this business real serious this year. Am I doing the right thing? Some of my vectors are on the first page on shutterstock. I'm more of a calligrapher, I don't really upload photos that are over rated in most agencies like nature, business, etc. I do fonts, calligraphic logo, arabic calligraphy, vectors in general. For the moment my only agency is shutterstock. Should I continue or not. Advice me. Thankxx

Things are exactly what they seem to be, if you know where to look. Taking business seriously and taking it to the right direction is not necessarily the same thing. What is your target income?

BTW use more than just a single agency, that's common wisdom IMO.

The other thing to consider is that even if you hit a wall and just keep submitting more without increasing your income if your level of work and return are something you are happy with, that is fine. If that isn't the case you can switch to something else and your stock sales should at least provide a bit of a cushion to let you get started doing that.

Don't put all of your eggs in one basket since you never know when a site might Istock and crush your income.

Depending on your skill and luck your hourly return might be pretty pathetic though.

I can relate to your profile pic tho lol

I had 9 sales in the past 10 days and 7000 image in portfolio. But my image are not the best that you can find.  :)

Can I see your port?

I'm not a big connoisseur but I can tell you my experience

I sell on Displate. For me is the one that makes the most. You can get from $ 6 to $ 8 for displate image  you sell choosing the minimum price. You can choose the selling price . Earning is 25% on the price you decide after they discount and fees if I remember correctly. They always do discounts for buyers, that's very good. Uploading is a little boring, but it's worth it.

I sell also on Zazzle and Redbubble. I like both, less boring to upload, you decide the percentage you want. I sell less here but i'm not a great photographer. ;D So I'm satisfy.

Whats you experience with zazzle?

Photo Critique / Re: Vector portofolio needs critiques
« on: December 11, 2016, 00:55 »
Your vectors should be catchy. When coming up with an idea, ask yourself why would someone download this vector? What's so special about it? Compare your designs to other top selling vectors of the same kind then improve yourself. if you want to know how good you are at it, look how much daily downloads you get. How much??
