You need to use the Quick Create function to create faster products. Do a search on YouTube for some tutorials.

My products always show up in the category that I put them in during product creation. Also no problem when moving then from one category to another.

General Stock Discussion / Re: October Earnings
« on: November 05, 2013, 19:55 »
Do Zazzle, FAA, or Cafepress license stock photos?  I know FAA doesn't so it seems those shouldn't be counted in the monthly earnings thread.

I had no idea that the monthly earnings thread had such strict report policies ;D anyway I don't think it is very relevant because I am sure you know how to subtract ;)

actually POD sites need a picture to be sold (as products) so I don't think it is that wrong to include that on the earnings because in fact that picture was produced for stock purposes and POD is certainly one of them

This is how I see it too, and have reported it now for years that way.

First of all I create all the image for the stock agencies. But in addition to this also use them for POD, and my blogs, website, iphone app to generate referral income. I see this all part of the business model "creating and selling stock images". IMHO if I only would report the activity from selling image license, then this would only show half of the picture.

Microstock Services / Re: Microstockr - iPhone app for contributors
« on: September 18, 2013, 15:48 »
I reset in the iPhone Setting - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings, for some other reason, but after that everything in Microstockr (including PhotoDune connection) worked just fine.

New Sites - General / Re: Solid Stock Art
« on: September 12, 2013, 14:04 »

and again I ask myself, how far can we go before agencies end up business with us?

we seen many cases of kicking out for less but contributors willing to offer XS licenses for FREE and this new one giving EL for 2$ look they are still safe...

$2 EL .....no comments....

ah we get 1$ ;D
We will lock down artist registration from time to time to keep our artist pool small.

Are you serious!  Why as an artist would I spend a lot of time uploading (and yes it's an investment of time) my portfolio only to have it "locked down" possibly at sometime????

It is not your portfolio that they lock down. They only "lock down" signup for new contributors from time to time.

Print on Demand Forum / Re: No sales on Zazzle any more!?
« on: July 22, 2013, 18:05 »
Earlier or later there will be another POD that will get a breakthrough. Many contributor are angry at Zazzle right now. Some have started to create product on Cafepress again.

I had a some sale on Zazzle the last few days, but referrals are down too. And the change with the Volume Bonus is just the hammer. That is where I am loosing the most in the moment.

I am giving Redbubble some more attention now. Had a few sales in the last couple of month.

Continue uploading to FAA, but so fare only very few sales.

New places that I am trying are: society6, CowCow, 500px, 3droses

« on: July 22, 2013, 11:04 »
I am down too. I think multiple factors contribute to the lower sales this month. It is summer, in the past I always had lower sale in the summer. If you kept you royalty rate over 15% your are not pickup anymore by the large affiliates sellers, and you are drooped in rank at the searches in the marketplace. There also have been quite a few problems with the change on the layout, including downtime of the website. I also heard that the individual store places last there Google ranking.

Bigstock.com / Bigstock has a deal with Zazzle?

From the Zazzle blog it looks like Zazzle made a deal with Bigstock.
http://blog.zazzle.com/2013/07/10/bigstock-images-now-on-zazzle/

How much does a contributor get for each sale?
