11 days for me :(

Does it seem like there was a search algorithm change? I was having a pretty great year on Storyblocks until last Wed or Thurs, when my earnings suddenly had a massive drop. Sometimes these hiccups happen at Storyblocks, then get corrected the next day, but this one has been going 5 days or so. Anyone else see something like this last week?

Same here

Hi,
I quit exclusivity with istock at 2017. Now I have portfolio on iStock, Shutterstock, Pond5, Adobe. Total income this days are 3 to 5 times bigger than that I have at iStock exclusive.

return is when the sale disappears from the statistics? If so, then this happened to me

Perhaps not because of technical quality, but for me, a new camera or lens really gets my inspiration going = a lot of work done in a short period of time. Everything is fun with new gear.  ;)

Totally agree

Month comes to the end and I got some statistics.Upload was started at 28 of january. In the middle of March entire portfolio (2600 footages) was uploaded on SS, P5, FL and VB.

50+ clips uploaded per day with Stocksubmitter? 200+ clips uploaded per day (all sites included)???  :o

I'm impressed.

Yes, Stocksubmitter is super great and handy and with 100 Mb/s connection its not a problem to upload big volumes.

First sale was at February 28 at fotolia. In march I got sales at SS (13), FL (7), P5 (1). VB approved my videos only couple of days ago. So my total income from footage in March was $421. Hope P5 and VB will start to sell soon.

I think you kill details in highlights.

Same here. SS is very slow today. Only half of average day in downloads for me

Thanks for your replies. Now I need to find best workflow to move 2500 files to 4 agencies. Maybe someone can share his workflow?

Interesting thoughts. Thanks, its look like its time to cancel exclusivity.

Hi!
Don't want to start new topic about the same thing.
Now my video port is exclusive at iStock and Getty. I start 2017 with only 300 footages and now I had online about 2500 clips, but my income is not so good as I expected. June was my best month with $650 and august was my worst month with only $28, September and November $300 and $500. I don't want to quit my exclusivity, but my wife want to upload to another agencies. In 2018 we can produce about 4000 video clips, so I can upload 2000 as exclusive at iStock and 2000 my wife can upload  to SS, P5 and VB. My question is - is there any sense to work this way? Please share your thoughts.

PS my port at iStock: https://www.istockphoto.com/sg/portfolio/konstantynov?assettype=film&sort=mostpopular
