I joined FAA because I wanted to sell fine art. I was doing well. Unfortunately the site seems to be very confused by its growing greed.

Not sure why the blog claims Bennett is not in control as he remains the Chairman who directs the company strategically if not always operationally.

However, it looks like Pond5 will be different in 2016. Recent slow reviews and introduction of subscription make me suspicious of their new direction.

You should do it privately, since if you put it on IS, someone can't use it as a logo.

Sean, thanks a lot for your advice. I assume that the buyer will only use the image as a part of the logo, since I personally will not want my image to become someone's trademark or registered trademark. I will ask. Thanks for pointing that out.

Any suggestions as to pricing?

General Stock Discussion / Private RM License or Through Getty
« on: January 08, 2016, 13:14 »
Someone is interested in one of my images. The image is not currently on iStock/Getty, of which I am still exclusive.

It is intended to be used for business logo, company business cards, employee uniform and website.

Can I license it privately as RM image? What is a fair price? Thanks for enlightening!

I should have added that my tax form is in order. This is the last payment for 2015. All other payments were ok.

What is the correct email address to send? Thanks!

they don't ... usually.
my guess is maybe you did not file the tax exempt form if you are in a country with a tax treaty
or that you are in a country without a tax treaty

so , they withhold tax.  just that..without any more info re this matter.

I just got a notice that my earning was paid. But it was about $10 less than the earned amount. They did not provide any explanations. What can it be?

I got mine, too.

Alamy is getting better for me. I only have just over 1000 images and sold over 30 this year.

Mine went into my bank account on Monday (7th).


Did you apply yourself? I applied through Alamy. Wonder when I can receive mine.


Yes, I applied myself, to save the 50% and because I wanted to add the iS sales.

I understand it will be a bit later until the DACs shows on your Alamy sales and even more time until you get paid.
I assume you're following the relevant thread there?

Thanks for the link.

I only follow this forum and none else.  ;)

Actually I received a similar request from an audio curator a while ago when I first submitted audio. Just send a message to support directly and they should be able to tell you how to meet their requirements. It's not that complicated.

It's a good lens. Actually BH sold it for $250 last week.

Ok, guess I was right. More purple and green bars are showing up after I posted the above message.

Has GI finished reporting?

I have had no purple bar sales visible in the last two months. However, the money paid to me seemed to be higher than what it is reported on the website. I wonder if GI sales are not reported but paid?

Thanks everyone for the help!

I am happy with Vistaprint's quality, most of the time. When I was not happy, they were kind enough to offer a refund. This time, they did offer me a special deal, so I will stay with it.

Cathy, yes, I ordered from Zazzle in the past. The quality was not good. Zazzle made auto adjustment to my image which does not have 100% black, the colors were totally wrong.

Moo does not do calendars.

I will look into Printpelican, Teldon and GotPrint. Thanks!

92
By the way, I am looking for a printer in North America. Thanks!

93
I need to order 2016 calendars in large quantity.

Does anyone know any reputable printer which can do quality job at prices cheaper than Vistaprint? Unfortuantely, Vistaprint does not offer better prices for large quantities.

94
What if you don't win the contest? My impression, which can be wrong, is, even if you don't win a contest, the organizer usually still has the right to use your submitted image/footage, as they see fit and without compensation to you.

Is it true?

When they keep devaluing our work, it certainly does not give me any incentive to give them my best images.

I always buy extended license to cover any damages including those caused by my own negligence, for a new camera. The insurer once gave me a brand new sensor three years after the purchase.

This year, I have sold at least 5 4k clips through P5, and about 2 through SS.

I still don't know how I can see all of the sold clips other than the slide show. Is it possible?

I'm pricing my latest 4K clips at $199.  We'll see how that goes.

I have sold some 4k clips at this price. Just wish to sell more.
