General Stock Discussion / Maybe I have UFO on one of my photos!
« on: September 27, 2013, 10:36 »
Maybe, I accidentally photographed an unidentified flying object (UFO).
What I know about photography tells me this should not be a "technical" error...

So, what do you think is the best way to sell these kind of photos? Editorial on Alamy or...?

Balkan / EX Yugoslavia / Hrvatska u EU! US Tax Treaty?
« on: July 03, 2013, 11:32 »
Evo HR u EU! Koliko vidim sve drave EU imaju tax treaty sa SAD! Zna li netko kad Hrvatska ulazi u tu kategoriju odnosno kad će nas prestati "guliti" za 30% US agencije?

Please chose three of agencies!
After 7 days we should start to promote  "The winning agency" on every possible way!
Synergistic effect should be successful, if  thousands of contributors do the same thing in same time!

Let it be our reward for the best agency with benefits for all of us!

Also "a warning" to greediest!

Thank you!

Contributors!
Best paying agencies may not be the most friendlier agency! Our part of earnings is the most important thing here...
We are trying to get more money from our work, not to bring new customers to best and big earners with low royalty rate...
So if you agree with me, try to give more chance to friendly agencies which are giving bigger "part of cake" to us!

Off Topic / I hope that oil will cost $ 100 per liter soon!
« on: March 07, 2012, 05:15 »
To finally end up that story!  :'( :'(

This morning I watched an Italian documentary film ... The expedition was traveling by trucks from Italy to the Pacific and back ...
This episode was in Iraq ...
They showed the place where the bomb shelter hit by U.S. "smart" bomb and killed 1,200 people inside ...
I am from Croatia, my country has gone through the war 20 years ago, although I have not seen or heard anything of war, only through the TV, because I live in a part of country where wasn't war, but this is something different...
This morning I saw in that documentary what is really terrible, shocking, disgusting ...
What "advanced" western civilization can make to the poor part of this world ...
They showed little children hands "glued" to the walls, they were carbonized on 2000 degrees Celsius, which was produced by that airplane bomb ...

 But we are still talking about RPI, PRD, intoxicated with our "gentle" lives, angry if oil jumps 1% ...
People..., their little hands are still there, fossilized on the walls and ceilings in 3D!!!  :'(
I am desperate .... :-[ :-\ ???

My projection for this month is -40%...
That is result for this first third of this October...

Is it bad just for me or..?

11
Last days we've seen the worst and the best in the world of Microstock photography...

What can we do ...!?
We can promote our portfolios from every decent agency on many ways...
Show good will for a mutual benefit ...
I don't need not tell you which ones are good agencies ... ::)
Regards!

Alamy.com / Missing sale!?
« on: January 23, 2011, 06:58 »
Hey guys!

I found one of my photos from Alamy in use on this website, but I haven't this image registered in my sales!!! Why?
Is it the administration's delay of Alamy, (page is from 19th of January) or...!?
What is your experiences?

Here is link:

Thanks!

Deleting a portfolio is a drastic but probably ineffective method, because many photographers will stay...
So what else we can do?

Here is my part of solution:

1.If you promote your portfolio, do it only with your portfolios on "friendly agencies"...
2.Send new content first to "friendly agencies" and later (old materials, for a few months or even more)  to the "problematic ...".

Please continue with suggestions...

General Stock Discussion / Found at Alamy , bought at SS
« on: July 23, 2010, 06:31 »
Maybe it's coincidence or maybe not...

Saw yesterday these searches by customers on my "Alamy customers search": mackerel cooked,grilled mackerel,grilled fish, also quit smoking, lung cancer..

Then I sold, same day these my old two pictures on the SS:


Same pictures founded on both sites in the same day...
So,if this is true, isn't it easier for a customer, to close his account at Alamy and start buying only at the SS!?

Hi guys!

Probably some of you know better about image licenses and terms of use than me....

My girl found my photo in one of Croatian magazine
Daily newspaper will publish and give gratis road map for one of Croatian region...

My picture will be on the cover of one of the road map,on 6th of July...

I have never sold that image under the extended license... ???

So is it  OK, that my photo is on cover of GRATIS road map that is given as a supplement in daily newspapers???

One of the biggest Croatian commercial television, their site:

See the label with a picture, everything is legal, TV house makes money, only we make cents... >:(

Bigstock.com / Funny categories on BigStock
« on: April 26, 2010, 15:51 »
How can I take seriously an agency with such a serious omission???

There is only few sub categories for "Animals", only Birds, Pets,Fish
Also "Insects" are in "Nature" category, maybe they are not animals...?  ??? :P

Shutterstock.com / SS' part of earnings???
« on: April 04, 2010, 11:38 »
How does SS make any money from 25-a-day subscriptions when they pay $0.25 per image to a novice contributor and even more to those who have been selling above a certain level? Subcription of $249 per 750 images (25 a day, 30 days) equals $0.33 per image.

23
Beginning of this year is recognizable by increasing the number of subscription sales...
 
On DT I have 10 in a row in two days.... On other sites almost the same....

Does it mean less earnings, or agencies knows what they are doing...?
Is it a way of attracting more customers and money ,from which we continue to receive our "piece of cake"?
Or is it just "assent" of the struggle for survival on the market ...?

Hi contributors on Printbusinesscard.com!!!

As you know Moneybookers has no longer payment option for payouts from USA based agencies...

So, as you know PayPal doesn't make payouts for many of us outside of "blessing countries", and if you use Payoneer and you are contributor on Printbusinesscard.com please go to Printbussinescard community  forum and give your vote for using  Payoneer as an  alternative payment option...

Printbusinesscard needs to have minimum 5 Payoneer users to be able to open a business account...
I am first...

Support on PBC is very friendly  and  they are willing to help us...

Here is link:

P.S.

I think that will be good for many of us!
