« on: June 29, 2017, 03:45 »
Hello! We are quite big studio and have around 50k+ images on 123, however it seems that since last year we are keeping falling down on income, like around 40% less, than same months of last year. Anyone with big volume can support me with his statistics? it feels really bad.

Hello! Im here again for some advices maybe. I am quite medium-big contributor on microstock world, and when other agencies are somewhat +/- stable on income, bigstock keep going down really big for past two years. We upload to SS and it copy portfolio to Bigstock, however income been growing big from 2013 - 2014. starting in summer 2014 it goes only down. Maybe i missed some big changes ?

New Sites - General / 500px need advice
« on: July 05, 2016, 02:55 »
For past half year got banned there twice for "spam" then with angry email spam for support, getting unbanned. This happens due many image submission and people reporting it for spam. I dont understand the stupid policy of this stock. They look for contributors for their marketplace, to sell RF images, however ban them for uploading too much.

Any ideas ?

« on: March 23, 2016, 08:03 »
Decided to renew uploading there. Do i need to attach release to photos with people? It says " We believe you need a model release to sell this image with a commercial license."

But not sure where to attach it to. Can some one help ?

Hello! Would be thankful to know. Since almost every stock have 50 partner stocks, and many of them collide with each other sometimes, is it worth to upload individually to partner stocks (standalone) ?

123rf have panthermedia.net as partner, what if i will also upload to panthermedia.net ? what happens then?

Shutterstock.com / Partner program
« on: August 27, 2015, 05:16 »
Hello! I might be blind, but how do i set up shutterstock partner program? For example on fotolia, you can join that 1$ program, than Istock also offer sells on thinkstock if im not mistaken. How do i setup shutterstock partner program? I heard shutterstock send your work to Bigstock - is this true? Or i need to setup it ?

Dreamstime.com / Dreamstime PRICE
« on: July 08, 2015, 04:53 »
Hello! Can you please give me more detailed information, because im totally not understanding the system.

Do you set Recommended price or you un-check that thing? The prices are SUPER HIGH, why would anyone buy a photo for 1k$ if you can use subscription and buy it for like 5$. I just really dont understand how that works. If i un-check "set recommended price" - what happens than ? Or if i CHECK it, what happens than ?

iStockPhoto.com / question about istock exclusive
« on: March 30, 2015, 00:32 »
Hello dear microstockgroup forum members! I have a question about istock exclusive. According to the pool on the right > Istock exclusive has raiting 210 (up to this date), and top earner is shutterstock with rating 93 (up to this date). Is it really that huge difference? Does istock exclusive really this much good on earnings? Comparing to istock (non-exclusive), how much is the difference? 3 times, 5 times, 10 times higher?

Thanks for your answers!

iStockPhoto.com / Istock Agreement and Getty
« on: January 07, 2015, 04:19 »
Hello! Title says all. I really need more detail explanation, i am not strong in these law changes and new agreement changes etc. Not a lawyer, and i really hope you can guide me in few questions, i know some of you understand these new changes better and can help me and other people who don't know if the changes are mayor.

I am not exclusive photographer, i do upload on more than one stock. With all this merge with Getty, should i worry about my portfolio? I mean, i know Getty is mostly an Exclusive stock only, and when istock merges, does all my work become exclusive to ? Sounds redicilous, but you never know... Should i worry about that? or i can just accept agreement and ignore the changes, because they are not affecting me that much? I am from Europe, and i guess the TAX changes not going to affect me much either ?

I really appreciate for your advice, hope you will help me.
