Well - another year almost over and how do you feel about it?
Did you get enough return for all your work and were you happy with sales generated during the year.?
For me, I was happy enough - put in a lot of work, building folios and now seeing quite regular sales.
Here's to 2009!

Well, it really is getting a bit tedious now.
Every time I log into BigStock I'm seeing the same old earnings balance.
I've had 4 sales there in 2 months - earnings have really sank there for me!
Is there some explanation?

Yesterday on a certain site ( fairly well known photo selling agency) I received a personal message form a lady who wanted to "love and be loved" with email address listed for reply.
I thought it a bit odd and unexpected.
How do you feel about this? I would have thought that this would be not encouraged on such sites.

Do many of you have to clean your camera's sensor or have you got an effective anti dust system?
It appears the Olympus still leads the way in effectiveness.

I have recently been experiencing very slow sales at BigStock.
How has it been for you?

Due to consistently dismal sales, I haven't uploaded to a particular site for a number of months now.
This site is outside the "Big 6" and also "Up & Coming".
Since stopping, my sales have ceased also.
The thing is, I'm not too far off my first payout.
If I decide to close my account of course I will forfeit my current balance.
Is that what they are waiting for? - Yes - it's one way of making money for them. Get fed up, stop uploading and quit.
The integrity of sites was recently touched on here at MSG and I feel it's something we all should keep an eye on.
After all, we upload with blind faith and hope and trust we will get a fair deal.
Have you a similar experience of this? or what are your views.

Just wondering what type of images are selling at Cutcaster.
If anyone who had sales could post a link or two.

You know when you think about it, the "Search" on all sites obviously plays a very vital role on how many sales we get.
Images sinking to the bottom/rising to the top.
It would be nice to know the exact criteria for each site but I suppose we never will.
Also, I'm led to believe that they are seemingly changed around every so often.
Anyone with any insight or views on this?

Right guys, this is your chance to show off and let everyone know who has had the most EL sales (across all sites) since they became a micro contributor.
I'll start ( and at the bottom of the ladder) with just 1 so far.

After a very long time with no sales, just had 2 in 2 days at Snap Village.
- both $3 each.
Encouraging!
How about you?

I've just shot and submitted some images of a memorial of quite a famous person.
The statue is new, so I'm wondering what is the chances of it being accepted across the sites.
I read somewhere that that old memorials are OK but newer ones are copyrighted.
Will soon find out anyway!
Have you had any experience of this or know the position?

With patience in short supply these days and contributors anxiously looking for return (and rightly so) on their work from new agencies- How about the next "Start Up" site?
Will you be diving straight in and uploading your full port or adopting a "Wait & See" approach?
The thing is, new sites need to build a database of images and most of that has to come from us the contributors.
Personally, after some experience of much wasted time and effort on previous start ups, I'm now firmly in the "wait and see" camp.

As an add-on to the recent thread posted by Whiz, do many of you use "Copy Space" (if relevant) in your list of keywords.
I suppose it's a big help to designers, but do all sites allow?

Have you sold Sepia toned images.
What kind of market is for them?

Just wondering how long you will give it at YAY micro before you decide to continue there.
I see people with a lot of images uploaded there and already asking about sales.
It's early days yes!, but it seems people have less patience now, having previously being "burnt" at other sites after many tedious hours of uploading which proved totally unfruitful.
I do wish YAY all the best - It's a slick and fast site and it would be great if it took off, but as we have seen before it's not easy for new sites to break into Microstock.
How about your views on this.

It's been a long four months since my last sale at Featurepics.
I haven't been uploading there and the way it's going, not looking like I will.
Will bide my time for payout - that's it!

After quite a few months there I finally made a sale!
Let's hope it's a trend!
Anyone else getting sales?

Is anyone else experiencing the Snap Village site slow.
For me it's even slower than before.

« on: June 04, 2008, 16:24 »
I've been there a few months now and there is zero happening for me.
What's your experience?
Looks like another plug to be pulled!!
I see it has been dropped from the Up & Coming list here.

Well! there seems to be a move on sales now at Snap Village.
I've had 3 in the last few days!
How is it for you?

I read somewhere recently that camera shake is more emphasised when using digital as compared to film.
Do you find that this is so ? - thus the more need for a tripod or image stabilisation!

Just wondering if any of you have ever had a toned image ie. Sepia etc. accepted by an agency?
