it is easy to upload? does it support ftp and read IPTC?

Yes on all counts cept my host doesn't read all my keywords and I have to go in delete the read keywords then paste in all my keywords.

I suggest double checking if it reads all of your IPTC data just in case your host does the same as mine.

Ah but the thing with this is they're all independently owned and operated.  We do share a network though maybe that's it.

78
I'm not exactly sure which one mine is.  It's either Linux or Windows.  I'll have to look into it.

79
Is exporting a database to the hard drive the same as backing it up?


Yes.

Okay good cause that's what I've been doing.  I just need to start scheduling a time for me to start doing that at probably late at night would be best.

I'll look more into the code you provided.  When you say type into the prompt are you talking about a DOS prompt or some prompt somewhere else?

Thanks!

There I've got everyone added from the post so far.

I don't have the premium version but I think it would be nice to have some kind of social media links in there so buyers and other users can follow if they would like.

I just created my twitter account and added  jsfoto and Anita here is my  https://twitter.com/plingstock

You actually have me on there twice I'm going to be moving the professionals to my other account.  You can unfollow @apotterdd since you already follow me at the @anitapotter twitter handle.  I'd rather have all of the business at that address than the other one.

Just added you Anita.
https://twitter.com/flashstockphoto is mine if anyone is interested.
By the way ... did anyone manage to use the twitter function of the premium plugin? I allways get error code 195

Cool!  I just added you as well.  I need to migrate users over from my other twitter account that I'd rather have on the one I posted.  I don't really use that one for business.

There's a list here
https://mobile.twitter.com/plrang/symbiostock/members

For some reason it says it's not supported on mobile anymore when I click on the link.

https://twitter.com/plrang/symbiostock/members

And I didn't know that there was already a list.  I'll save it to faves and go through it tomorrow.

Thanks :)

I figured it's time as more and more people join in I'd like to stay connected with what everyone's doing.

I'm only on Twitter here's mine:  https://twitter.com/anitapotter

Feel free to add your Twitter/Facebook link :)

Congrats! I'm surprised that self-hosted still doesn't rank in the polls. Start voting people.

I did cept my vote was 0   :'(

That achievement is worth a Tweet!

88
That is just insane!  Why do they have to nickel and dime their contributors like that?

I know I won't get that email but still not a wise move at all.  Now we know what the *bleep* Veer's been doing lately.

Disgusting!

Great job guys.  Can't wait to get one of them myself  ;D

I'll repeat what someone else said...I wonder how long it will be before the Self Hosted section of the poll starts to rise up in the rankings.

Symbiostock - General / Re: Pricing sets
« on: September 03, 2013, 12:09 »
I haven't upgraded either I'm at 2.5.6 the collections section is just in the premium upgrade correct?

I have them all up individually as well as sets.  I have fonts that I make and other things in a series.  One of my sets includes jpg and eps the other two are just jpg files.  That way if they don't want all of them they can still get them individually. 

91
I stopped uploading after the images I created in May got reviewed (can't remember how long that took).

I'm on a break from production and uploading (haven't done anything since July) to see where I want to go and what images I should/need to create.  Haven't figured it out yet.

Once I do and things start to look up on the sites then I'll start back up fresh.  I won't upload past rejected content but that's me.

92
I too quit uploading a few months ago after they rejected around 90% with the reason "Though technically sound we don't want it" <--paraphrasing.  My upload limit never increased when they took it down to 25 a week.  Though I remember someone saying recently that theirs went up.

I don't know what's going on there but it's not good.

Maybe a list on a site that get's tweeted and facebooked that lists the sites and the deals going on at each site.  Some kind of table with a couple of columns perhaps?

Symbiostock - General / Pricing sets
« on: September 02, 2013, 16:09 »
I'm starting to put up zipped sets for sale.  I'm just wondering about pricing strategies since doing this is rather new to me.  Is there a baseline standard as far as price per image in the set or is it priced based on what the set is?

I'm wondering because I don't want to underprice nor do I want to overprice.  Any personal insight or links to articles would be most helpful.

Thanks.

General Stock Discussion / Re: August Sales
« on: September 02, 2013, 02:28 »
August was completely pathetic across the board.  All sales are way down from last year also.

I've usually seen my revenue from year to year go up and I'm afraid that this year it's going to go down as I'm absolutely nowhere near the numbers I was making last year.

On a strange note I made more at BigStock this month than DT so go figure.  DT doesn't even make my top four.

Top 4:

SS
CanStock
DP
FT

« on: September 01, 2013, 19:07 »
Looking over to the right shocked me....has DP really dropped off the map???For me it's always been a steady earner.....but what sets it apart from the others is that DP sells images that don't sell with other agencies.

It's the beginning of a new month so the poll stats aren't up to date.  I usually wait until the 3rd day of the month to do my paperwork.  I'm sure it'll change over the next week or so.

98
Might be a weird question but I have some images that are shutterstock exclusive.

I didn't know it was possible to be "exclusive" on Shutterstock. Many have indicated they'd like to be but couldn't?

Are you sure you have that kind of arrangement there???

True there's no exclusivity at SS but the OP only has some images available at SS and no where else which deems them exclusive though there's not anything on the site that uses exclusive at all.

99
I remember seeing my cache set at 14 days unless it's not actually caching?

Then I'm not sure what's happening with it.  Baffling is what it is.  Wasn't like that before.
