Hi folks.

Does any one here uses the SD Toshiba Flashair (Wifi SD)? I wonder by using a camera with this wifi card, how to get to download to computer multiple files, or one right away I shot, to my computer to a folder I wish? By using the browser, it is a pain, you need to click one by one!

Does anybody uses another solution that would share? Thanks. 

Hi folks, I'm wondering what is your monthly average income at POD sites such as:

Zazzle
RedBubble
Twenty20
Fine Art America
Society6
Crated
Displate
or any other from this 250 places list.

So, what is your POD site/average income. I'm wondering if it worths the effort and time consuming. I will appreciate your honesty. ;0)

Hi folks,
Now a days I'm uploading to 8 agencies and I was wondering how is it going for you guys too. Let me share my data and it would be cool to have yours. ;0)

Assuming that iStock would be my 100% income (my 1st Top  tier), see the other agencies percentage compared to iStock income:

Data based on JUN/2014:
Agency (#files) - Percentage:
iStock (7545) - 100%
Shutter (4895) - 63%
Fotolia (5347) - 13%
Photodune (6213) - 6%
Dreamstime (4150) - 5%
123RF (6522) - 4%
Depositphotos (6345) - 4%
BigStock (4840) - 4%
GLStock (2446) - 0% (Canceled/quit)
Alamy (0) - 0% (Canceled/quit)

Data based on MAR/15
Agency (#files) - Percentage:
iStock (7763) - 100% Still 1st top tier.
Shutter (5287) - 72% ^
Fotolia (5565) - 15% ^
Photodune (6377) - 6% =
Dreamstime (5182) - 7% ^
123RF (6731) - 6% ^
Depositphotos (6575) - 8% ^
BigStock (5234) - 4% =

For those that uses the other method for calculation, the percentages related of total income, the percentages are:

Data based on MAR/15
Agency (#files) - Percentage:
iStock (7763) - 45%.
Shutter (5287) - 33%
Fotolia (5565) - 7%
Depositphotos (6575) - 4%
Photodune (6377) - 3%
Dreamstime (5182) - 3%
123RF (6731) - 3%
BigStock (5234) - 2%

So, as you can see, the really worth agencies are iStock and Shutter, not sure if all others worth the time and effort for uploading, categorizing and so on instead of using the time for taking shots, treating images and so on for the 2 first top tiers.

I still keep uploading to mid/low earnings because we have two common phrases in my country:
1. "The hope is the last one to die".
2. "Seed corn by seed corn, the hen fills its craw".

Here is a online calculator to help you calculate yours. ;0)

Have a nice day.

Hi folks.

You guys that are already selling direct, have tried several WP themes, Joomla and platforms. So, I wonder:
1. in your opinion what is the best platform, wp theme to sell images direct and why. It can be free or paid versions;
2. What is your monthly average selling direct?
3. Does it worth all your effort (Setting all platform, upload, keywording, payment gateway, and so on)?

I have tried Symbiostock, but never had a single sale or even a single registration. :0(

Thanks.

How do I add a city name in the keywords in Dreamstime. Example: "Arraial dajuda Eco Resort", "Sao Paulo", "Ribeirao da ilha".
DT is breaking the keyword phrase into single keywords and as a result rejections about keywords are received.

Is there some way to insert a keyword phrase without braking it into single words at DT?

Thanks

When we perform a search in the MSG forum , it would have the option to show only: Messages | Topics | Attachments as we have when we see in our profile our own posts that we get to filter by these "Messages | Topics | Attachments".
Sometimes, I don't want to see all messages with the same serch results, and just the topics that have such serch results.
Well, just a suggestion.
Thanks.

Does iStock inspectors think that the keyword "World Cup" (Championship term) is FIFA trademark?

All my images (fans in studio with a costume) are going to executive pending and other receiving the rejection about FIFA trademark. What a pain!

Is anybody else facing the same?

Hi folks, any idea how to get to check all downloads history from a single image ID at Shutterstock?

Thanks.

Dear MSG dev team, it would be better if the agency names at the Microstock Group Monthly Survey Vote page would be sorted alphabetically. Would be much easier to vote.

Also talking about votes, on the right column (Microstock Poll Results) should have a button on the top "Submit your vote". IMHO I think a lot of people don't vote because they don't find how to vote at Polls menu.

Thanks.

Hi folks, I did my first upload and it gave the image ID# 203 instead of #1.

Any Idea why? Is there some way to change it to ID#1 or was it some reason to give a higher ID# on the 1st upload?

Thanks.

Hi folks,

My SS theme isn't getting to read the .mo files within the languages folder and the language was defined correctly  into wp-config.php:

define('WPLANG', 'pt_BR');

My .mo/.pot/.po files are within the correct folder as well, into the wp-content/themes/symbiostock/languages and the files are:

pt_BR.mopt_BR.po
pt_BR.pot

Any idea what can be wrong?

Thanks.
