General Stock Discussion / Pond5 pending review times

« on: March 12, 2017, 04:22 »

Hi,
I'm trying to bring my portfolio to Pond5, so I tried first to upload a dozen of photos. This was about a month ago (maybe more).
Since then my files are still "pending review"!
Is that normal on Pond5? I thought iStock was slow, but Pond5 seems even worse!

General Stock Discussion / PP sales on iStock have disappeared?

« on: March 03, 2017, 10:31 »

Hi,
I can't find anywhere, since a couple of months, my partner program sales stats on iStock.
What's happened?
On ESP I'm getting no stats, so I'm still watching the iStock stats to understand what's going on with my photos. But only regular sales are reported, partner program ones seem to have disappeared!
This migration to ESP is driving me nuts.

Shutterstock.com / SS Siteboost doesn't work anymore

« on: October 09, 2012, 15:09 »

Hi everyone!
I've recently bought a new computer and, I don't know why, now I can't use SS Siteboost. I've tried to download it again but it doesn't work.
Does anyone knows of a similar plugin?

General Stock Discussion / RF photo in a contest

« on: August 18, 2012, 03:50 »

Hi everybody,
I'm thinking on joining a contest in which winning photos will be used on a calendar that will be distributed for free in some local events.
My question is: can I use a photo that I'm selling on microstock agencies?

Dreamstime.com / "Please ensure that you don not use different MR documents for the same model"

« on: May 19, 2012, 03:49 »

Hi everybody!
I'm having problems on having photos accepted because:

"Please ensure that you don not use different MR documents for the same model. If you uploaded more than one MR document for the same model, please email a list to support with the IDs and names of the releases you wish to keep and the IDs and names of the releases that should be removed".

I've never heard of this until now, so I contacted the support and they answered me that "we don't accept more than one model release per model, unless the model changes age category group" and "we kindly ask you to email a list to support with the ID's and names of the releases you wish to keep and the ID's and names of the releases that should be removed and than resubmit your files".

I'm very confused! I thought that every shooting session needs a different MR, even if the model is the same. If I've understood what they want I have to upload a new MR for each new shooting session and after the approval I have to remove all the old MR of that model, kepping just the last one.
Am I right? I'm going nut with this thing!

General Stock Discussion / Microstock photo as wallpaper?

« on: May 03, 2012, 04:39 »

Hi everybody,
I found this site http://www.maxisciences.com/chocolat/wallpaper that allows downloading pictures in very big size. The photo with orange and chocolate is mine and I'm selling it on microstock agencies. Can they do that?

123RF / Where are my sold credits?

« on: May 02, 2012, 05:51 »

Hi everybody,
how can I see the number of credits I've sold? In the "earnings" page I only can see downloads and earnings, but not credits.
I need that info to understand what may be my new royalties in 2013.

Alamy.com / Alamy RF prices

« on: February 02, 2012, 04:54 »

Hi everyone,
I'm starting to sell something on Alamy and I'm surprised for the prices. On Alamy I sell only RF photos that I sell also on other RF agencies, but Alamy sells them at incredibly high price! Can anyone explain me how is it possible?
I've tried to read Alamy guidelines but I can't find info about this difference from other RF sites. Why a customer is paying 70$ for a RF picture that can pay a lot less on Shutterstock?
By the way, I'm glad that this happens

« on: December 25, 2011, 04:29 »

Hi,

Can you help me?

Shutterstock.com / Level up!

« on: November 29, 2011, 18:34 »

Hi everybody!
This month I've reached 500$ on SS: obviously now I'm enjoying the new royalties, but I'm also having more downloads than normal! Do you know if the raise of level gives also a best placement in the searches?

123RF / Photo stolen from 123.rf

« on: November 11, 2011, 05:25 »

I've found one of my photos on this page http://desmotivaciones.es/2742321/Quien-nunca-lo-haya-deseado
Obviously it's been stolen: I've sent them an e-mail but they've ignored me, so what should I do now?

DepositPhotos / It's DP a safe place for our photos?

« on: November 01, 2011, 05:57 »

I'm about to join DepositPhotos, the only thing that's telling me to not do that it's the rumor about the connection with a piracy site.
I know there is only one person (or maybe just a little more) complaining about that in a topic, and that complaint it's about one year ago; but it's still bothering me.
What can you say about it? It's DP a safe place or not?

Is Veer worth uploading? What's your experience with sales? And is the upload process fast (like Canstock)?
I've a portfolio of 750 photos.

Microstock Services / Stats software for middle tier agencies?

« on: July 26, 2011, 03:40 »

I' using Microstock Analytics from a few days and I find it very useful. My problem is that I upload also on 123RF (there I earn more than on Fotolia), Bigstock and Canstock; those agencies are not covered by the software, so I wonder if exists a tool working with those sites too.
