I have "problem" with Pond5. I am on Pond5 about a year and i have 200 videos in my portfolio but only 7 views without any sales. Is that normal on this agencies?

I just submitted my first 2 videos to Pont5 and I'm waiting for the review But I think that it depends on the type of videos. Can you link us your portfolio?

In case you have a clip at both frame rates (e.g. a 3d animation), is it ok to submit the same video at 25 AND 29.97fps? Or one will be rejected?

Too many, in my case... I've lost count... hehe!
And I don't even have a great number of sales....! lol

How many times do you check it?

I upload simoultaneously to all the agencies, and then process the uploaded files starting with the agency that need less clicks
The order is this one:

Graphic Leftovers (0 clicks needed)
Isignstock (0 clicks needed)
StockFresh (0 clicks needed)
CanStockPhoto (just a few clicks needed)
Veer (just a few clicks needed)
123RF (just a few clicks needed)
BigStock (just a few clicks needed)
Shutterstock (just a few clicks needed)
Panthermedia (just a few clicks needed)
Depositphotos (just a few clicks needed)
Dreamstime (too many clicks needed)
Fotolia (too many clicks needed)
Alamy (manual upload, and way too many clicks and typing needed)

So, what's the alternative to PayPal that I can use with any microstock website?

Congratulations. You had been lucky. Your argument has the same value as the guy who smokes since 20 years and says: "I never had cancer and I smoke" or the guy who drives drunk and says: "I always drive with three beers and never had an accident".

Nowadays we are in the lucky situation to have almost unlimited communication worldwide. Fraudulent and bad behaving companies are easy to identify. The only reason we continue to use them is lazynes and fear of change.

So what is a reliable alternative to Paypal that every micro/macro stock agency is accepting?

I use picworkflow and it works well for me.

It does what it's supposed to do, distribute your upload to mutiple destinations. And it's quite fast too

>25? How can you submit to more than 25 agencies? Is it worth the time?!

I'm stuck at 10 microstock + alamy

No, pure io mi affido ad un commercialista.
Domani prover� a chiedere anche a lui

Hi guys,
this is a question to other Italian microstockers.

I have a "partita iva" so I have to create an invoice for each payment that I receive.

Where do you send your invoices then? Do you send a copy to the corresponding agency?

What do you do?

Thanks a lot!
Stefano

Congratulations!

I don't know about the use of the IronMan figure in the preview image, but it's not (or at least it should not be) included in the layered PSD you're going to download if you buy it.

In the page is specified "photo not included in the download".

On evanto marketplaces I often see pics from Pixar and Fox movies used only in the preview. But I don't know if it's legal or not. I suppose it is... since they are not selling those images.
