Pond5 / SS & Pond5
« on: May 12, 2023, 12:07 »
Now that SS has acquired pond5, is there a point in submitting the same videos to both? And if one has to submit just to one of then, which would be better?

Not sure how Adobe is going to be impacted by this but this seems pretty big.

Shutterstock.com / Shutterstock Approvals
« on: February 24, 2023, 03:59 »
Has anyone noticed that Shutterstock appears to be approving every image lately and very quickly? I did an experiment with grainy images SS would never have approved in the recent past but they too sailed through. I wonder if there's a catch...

General Stock Discussion / Wirestock Premium anyone?
« on: February 03, 2023, 11:37 »
Has anyone gone for the Premium services on wirestock and if yes, is there any difference in performance/revenue/speed etc.?

I'm increasingly tempted to go for it considering the diminishing returns of microstock in general where every keywording session feels like a soul suck.

Microstock News / Unsplash Plus apparently
« on: October 18, 2022, 11:31 »
So it seems the world's favorite free photography site is actively monetizing all the photographic wealth they gained for nothing.

123RF / "Exciting" news from 123rf
« on: June 14, 2022, 10:04 »
Just received this lovely email from 123rf about this exciting, new thing they're doing.


"We hope you're well. You may have noticed a Free Images link on our header - well, that's because we're working on a new section on 123RF.com.

About a decade ago, we had a Free Images section on 123RF whereby contributors could choose images from their portfolios and offer it up for free. It drove traffic, exposure and purchase consideration to the Contributors portfolio.

Today, we're reviving this initiative and we hope that youd be a part of this too!

Heres what you can expect:

1. Portfolio Exposure!

Similar Images from the paid section will be displayed to drive traffic and consideration to paid content and soon to your own portfolio as well. Were also building in new and exciting portfolio features. So stay tuned for more from us.

2. Easy uploads!

You can upload or pick images to be included into the Free section. Weve written up a guideline on how you can do that!

3. Monetization!

As we build monetization programs on top of this offering, you'll receive a share as well 😉

4. #FeelsGood

And most important of all, its all about giving back to the community!
 
Need more information? Visit 123RFs Free Images section or email us at [email protected].

We are looking forward to what you could offer and together we can reward our community for their appreciation of our work for all these years. Lets create and share!

Sincerely,

The 123RF Submission Team"

General Stock Discussion / Picfair Plus
« on: November 23, 2021, 09:27 »
So I keep getting spammed by Picfair on "Exciting Offers" about big discounts on Picfair Plus. Now I haven't sold a single image on the site in 3 years. But does anyone have a Picfair Plus membership and has it helped in selling more than you do on the free account?

I mean, I don't mind paying a bit to an agency that treats contributors fairly if they actually make some good sales.

Alamy.com / Is Alamy down?

I've been trying to access the site for over 3 hours and haven't been able to.

Same for everyone?

Now if only they make more sales, they would be the perfect agency. How can you not love this agency though. What a lovely gesture...

Adobe Stock / Adobe Stock reviews slow?
« on: May 26, 2020, 14:26 »
My images are stuck in review for over two weeks. Usually they get reviewed within a week.

Now I realise there's a covid crisis on but this has never happened to me before, not even in April. So was wondering if this is happening to everybody.
