Shutterstock.com / Shutterstock Madness

Shutterstock has flaming lost their mind!  .10 cents and image and the level resets to that every January.

Shutterstock.com / Asian Sales
« on: August 06, 2015, 15:56 »
I haven't had a sale from any Asian countries in I don't know when.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Seems like all my sales are North, South American and Europe.  Once in a great while I will see  a west Africa sale.

General Stock Discussion / Do we just need to talk?
« on: July 17, 2015, 12:10 »
I have been hearing from many that the future of Microstock might not be entirely sound.  I can't help but wonder if it would be useful to try and have some kind of an agreement among agencies not to put pricing below a certain threshold and also have a serious conversation about subscriptions.  We do this with oil to a certain degree through governing agencies and so forth.

I know, I know, this is not exactly the free market system, but I would like to see all parties represented and some kind of solution hammered out to benefit all parties.  The agreement should benefit buyers, stock houses and photographers/artists.  In the end if all parties don't feel like they are getting a good deal then the future may very well be in jeopardy.

I know this is a very simplistic idea and probably talked about frequently, but I just wanted to say my piece about it.  I don't think we need unions or anything crazy like that but certainly some kind of solid representation would be useful.

General - Top Sites / Interesting Month
« on: July 13, 2015, 07:19 »
For the first time since I started in stock a year and half a ago, Shutterstock is the clear looser this month.  My personal rankings for July so far...

1.  iStock (really?)
2.  Dreamstime (another surprise)
3.  Fotolia
4.  Shutterstock (oddly enough this was my biggest earner last July)

I also wanted to add that Shutterstock is being outsold 2 to 1 by Fotolia.

123RF / Removed

I recently removed all images from 123RF.  I wasn't even competing or worth my effort.
