I'm curious to find out if anyone here advertises or promotes  there stock photos/videos, vectors on social media? And if so does it help?

General Stock Discussion / Motion Elements
« on: March 17, 2024, 22:55 »
I have been making some money on Motion Elements. Not much just a few bucks one month and a few the next.
But then again I have only so far roughly 730 files there.
They are photos, vectors, videos and even audio files.
However this is the only stockphoto site where I can sell something and not know what it is.
There is no record of what I sold and I have no way of finding out.
It seems they do not record sales of any individual product or item that you sold.
I've contacted them before about this and never got a satisfactory answer.
Anybody else here on Motion Elements?

General Stock Discussion / Question for those on Panther Media
« on: January 13, 2024, 15:13 »
I found  17 pics of mine on Alamy via Panther Media. Many were vector images and the rest were photos.
Anybody else here on Panther Media? If so do you know if they do distribute your images to
Alamy and other stockphoto sites?
I found this out by accident. I downloaded a copy of one of my images from another site
and google searched it.
Which is how I found this out, and I have already sent an email query to Panther Media
asking them about this.

General Stock Discussion / Can Stock Photo shutting down
« on: September 13, 2023, 23:48 »
As of October 1 Can Stock Photo will be shutting down. Another casualty in the stockphoto business.  :(

Now that eyeem has been accepting illustrations I've already submitted 7 of them.
One of them has been accepted. Took at least 2 weeks.
My 1st non-photo that is officially for sale here.

I'm suspecting strongly that some stupid incompetent  AI program is being employed on stockphoto sites to
accept/reject pics.
For example I submitted one video that was rejected because they didn't accept identifiable business logos or icons.
Fine with that except that my video was an animated abstract work that did not have any such thing at all.
I resubmitted it just to see if I would get the same reaction or reason for rejection.
This time it got accepted without any problems. Go figure. I can't.
I've had pics submitted on various sites only to be rejected.
Then I would submit them later on the same sites and have them accepted. Again go figure.
Once I submitted an image showing clearly a doll to one website to have it rejected.
Reason for this? No pic of identifiable person accepted without a model release form.
Since when does a Barbie doll need that in order to have it accepted?
Or does the AI have a problem discriminating the difference between doll and real person?
These type of rejections would be laughable or comical if it wasn't so annoying.
Anybody else have issues like this? I know it can't be just me.
If they are employing real humans instead then I don't know what to say.
Other than such people either have cerebral issues or vision problems.  :(

Another stock photo site to bite the dust recently is twenty 20. As of the end of July this year. I'm going to miss  that site.

General Stock Discussion / eyeem now accepting illustrations
« on: October 02, 2022, 15:05 »
A few days ago I logged into my Eyeem account and found out that they now are accepting illustrations. So I have submitted 7 of them for approval.
Has anybody else done the same? If so have they been accepted?

General Stock Discussion / Deviant Art
« on: February 26, 2022, 03:33 »
I'm wondering if anyone else here has pictures on this website and if anyone has sold anything here?
I still have pictures here from several years ago but nothing sold.
It's not really a stockphoto site but more like a POD site where you can sell your pics as wall art, prints or on mugs.
While they do have many photos here it's mainly a digital art site with plenty of fan art.

General Stock Discussion / Made 7 sales on 500px
« on: January 22, 2022, 18:36 »
Made 7 sales on 500px (2 photos twice). All sales were made on the same day and purchased by the same client.
The purchaser was VCG. The Chinese version of Getty Images.
The pictures purchased were some old ones that I had uploaded here 6 or 7 years ago, and so far the only ones
I've managed to sell here on this site.
I should be rejoicing but I'm not. Simply because each pic that I sold here was for one cent only.
So in total I only made 7 cents for 7 pics.
No pun intended but how low can they get? An agency as big as VCG pays only one cent for a photo?!
This is supposed to be the 3rd largest photostock group in the world and they only give me a penny for a
picture.
Well I certainly don't have any incentive to upload anything more here.
Anybody else have had the same experience here on 500px?

Last year I registered with this agency called "Twenty20". It's run by Envato. I know that website also sells photostock but they also have this as a separate agency. Why I'm not sure.
Does anyone else here sell pics through them?
For those not familiar with this company here is their website: https://www.twenty20.com/discover
I've made about 4 dollars so far selling 4 pics.
But as I'm a beginner who only started getting into the photostock business as of last year that is probably a small accomplishment.
Nothing to really brag about but at same time nothing to really cry about either.
What I like about them is that they have no minimum threshold or payout level.
Unlike other sites where you have to reach 50 or a hundred dollars in sales before you can collect anything.
