Adobe Stock / Re: Earnings per sale

February 2010: 78c per sale
February 2011: 57c per sale

I think too much subscription dowloads and royalty cut is the reason of RPD decline..

Adobe Stock / Re: Fotolia cuts commissions again
« on: January 24, 2011, 15:32 »
The thread has been closed by Fotolia and I have been banned from the Forum for being a little bit to firm ..... no rule broken as far as I know (maybe they just made a new rule up !!).

I have to be careful what I say here as the last thing I want happening is my portfolio being pulled by them so will leave it at that ...... this is one of the reasons I havent posted here in a long time :-(

Take care ( all those who matter anyway!!)

I am disgusted how fotolia acts.
And 25% royalties is too low to motivate me to upload new images.
Also RPD at fotolia is lowest of all agencies where I am contributing.

The search engine is stripping numbers out of tags, and other weird stuff.  Like 3d tries to pull up file #3.

This happens only if 3d is first word.
car 3d - is ok.

[irony]This is really good search engine[/irony].

Every search which starts with "3d" returns: File Not Available

I tried 3d cloud, 3d car, 3d man..

I think GLO don't have commerce paypal account.
And because of it there is fee when receiving money from GLO.

Veer / Re: Does VEER actually sell for any of you?
« on: November 27, 2010, 04:45 »
unfortunately it's not doing very good for me - only 2 sales in November, and 6 in October. No ELs at all. So far I uploaded about 800 pics.

I am also little disappointed with VEER.
647 images uploaded. 4 sales in November and 4 in October

Weird!  I haven't had that.  I have the opposite problem - sales ground to a halt yesterday and can't figure out why?!

Same here. No sales on tuesday and only one yesterday. Today still nothing.
I think something is broken..

This should work for you:
Check:
View->Proof Setup->Monitor RGB

and than check:

View->Proof Colors (Ctrl+Y)

123RF / Re: Does 123RF really pay 50% ?
« on: September 17, 2010, 09:20 »
Maybe buyer used some promotional credits which 123rf offered in past (last year???).
I remember some sales (small size) which nets me 0.2$.
But you may try to contact support and ask them..

This is really very low. For my last PEL I received 22.5$.

Maybe buyers don't know these sites..

So tell me, why do you commission these sites to sell your work?

Every business needs time to growth. No one is successful over night..

Ask yourself this question in response to your comment
 "there are several that pay a decent commission and have prices that are fair for buyers and contributors.  If we could persuade more buyers to use those sites, wouldn't we all be better off?"
Why aren't the buyers using these sites now?

Maybe buyers don't know these sites..

Personally, I think it would be a good idea for EVERYONE who doesn't like these changes to stop uploading to IS completely until our concerns are addressed.  These numbers need to at least be attainable and not pulled from the realm of fantasy.  

Absolutely agree.

I will not accept 15% royalty rate. I will stop uploading to Istock and probably delete all my images.
This is too much..

Vonkara links graph image directly from Dreamstime web.
So everybody who is logged in Dreamstime see his graph..
Try to logout from Dreamstime and you cannot see Vonkara's graph..

Bigstock.com / Re: Set Your Own Image Pricing!
« on: September 16, 2009, 07:38 »
Quote from Bigstock:
"!! Important note regarding pricing: You may not sell images at any other website for LESS than you sell your images for here. If your lowest price for an image is $10 here at BigStockPhoto, you may not sell that image, at any size, anywhere else, for less than $10 - or you forfeit all earnings from that image from the date you assign it as Premium. By using this Premium Pricing feature, you agree to this condition."

So I think,
if I am selling at other miscrostock agencies and set small size ~ 1 credit then
it is allowed to increase price for other sizes (Medium/Medium-Large/Large).
Or am I wrong?

Still no email received, no money received.
Maybe I didn't sold anything, but I would rather know it instead of guessing...
