Shutterstock.com / Slowing sales at SS ?
« on: April 28, 2008, 02:51 »
Have noticed quite a few forum posts at SS have been reporting slower sales in recent times.

Are we to expect this as SS grows bigger with more competition among contributors or is it a reflection of the current global economy?

SnapVillage.com / First "Snap" sale
« on: April 26, 2008, 13:39 »
Well! - the waiting is over - first sale at Snap Village.

Lets hope the trend continues!

General Stock Discussion / Payouts & Exchange Rates
« on: April 18, 2008, 03:07 »
Just wondering will photographers in the Euro zone will be putting their payouts on hold with the current unfavourable exchange rate of the Euro against the dollar.

I have some I could take out but am going to leave for the moment.

Featurepics.com / A sale - after 3 months!
« on: April 14, 2008, 13:45 »
Well! - after a span of 3 months I finally made another sale at FP.

No email notification - so if you are there you might want to check in.

Albumo.com / Closing Account @ Albumo
« on: April 10, 2008, 14:39 »
I have twice requested to close my account in the past few weeks but with no response.

Anybody else taking the same route and with similar experience?

56
Can anyone define the "when is" and "when is not needed"

For example if you are taking a private home but not standing on their property - you don't need a release. Am I right on this?

It seems some sites will accept without while others reject!

General Stock Discussion / Slow Weekends?
« on: April 07, 2008, 14:24 »
How do you find weekends for sales?
Is it particularly slow on any sites for you?

58
Shutterstock.com / Regular uploading at SS ?
« on: April 03, 2008, 14:11 »
Is it really necessary to constantly upload at Shutterstock to maintain sales?

Can a folio sustain sales with irregular uploading?
What are your views/personal experience on this?

Panthermedia.net / What about the Panther ?
« on: March 28, 2008, 17:57 »
How is it going for you on Panthermedia?
I see it as a very slow animal!
Long review times and very few " clicks" on images in Stock Agency.

CanStockPhoto.com / Closing Account (not so easy)
« on: March 25, 2008, 17:40 »
Last time I tried to close my account at Canstock - it seems that you have to delete all of the images yourself - and  you have to do it one by one - certainly not made easy!!

Shutterstock.com / Accepted at Shutterstock
« on: March 13, 2008, 16:10 »
Just got approved today at SS.
I think it was my second attempt. I might have tried once before, it's a long time ago and I never got back to giving it another shot.

I really became inspired when I read here in the forums of others getting accepted.

Got 8 out of 10 so obviously feeling good and also won a few bob at Cheltenham - so a pretty good day all round!

Panthermedia.net / Slow reviews at Panthermedia
« on: March 10, 2008, 04:29 »
Quite slow the review times at PM
How do you find it?

According to a recent report they are taking in  a lot of images each day!

Panthermedia.net / Ratings & Comments at Panthermedia
« on: March 07, 2008, 16:38 »
Does anyone know what effect ratings and comments have on your images at PM?

Also, does your participation in the community make a difference?

Albumo.com / Any Updates on Albumo ?
« on: March 03, 2008, 17:55 »
Seems very quiet over in Albumo - has anybody got anything to shout about from there?

Panthermedia.net / Acceptance rate at Panthermedia
« on: March 01, 2008, 07:33 »
Have just uploaded a few pics and was wondering what is the acceptance rate like at PM.

Any experience?

SnapVillage.com / Snap Village ( That name??)
« on: February 26, 2008, 15:40 »
Do you think the name is going to stick or is there any chance of a change?
Needless to say, a lot of photographers are not crazy on it.
However, it's good to see the that SV's database of images is really increasing.

Who knows, when it comes out of Beta we could see some action!!

Panthermedia.net / Is Panthermedia worth a shot?
« on: February 25, 2008, 14:40 »
Just wondering is it worth the effort of joining and uploading.
You know the way it is with less established sites - all that work and little return!!

Any views on this one?

SnapVillage.com / Snap Village Slow
« on: January 29, 2008, 16:36 »
Do you find SV site slow to move around in with pages taking ages to load.
I know it's only in Beta so that's probably part of reason.

Hopefully it will speed up soon.

SnapVillage.com / Snap Village - How do you see it?
« on: January 21, 2008, 05:31 »
Just wondering how you see SV and what you think the future might be there.

General Stock Discussion / Canstock - is it worth it?
« on: January 21, 2008, 05:27 »
Have been with them since last summer with just a handful of sales.
Beginning to think!!!

Is it worth it?

New Sites - General / What about Thephotostorage ?
« on: January 11, 2008, 14:52 »
Have just been checking in on this site.
The quality of images seems OK but I haven't seen any downloads!
Anyone with experience of?

General Stock Discussion / Good start at Featurepics
« on: January 10, 2008, 04:26 »
The year has got off to a really good start at FP with nice Dls in the last few days.
How is it for you?

General Stock Discussion / StockExpert rejections
« on: September 21, 2007, 17:05 »
They're certainly big on rejections.

I like to see my pics get a chance and there are other places where they will.
The long review time and then being throttled by rejections does little to encourage uploading.
I think I'll stick with the ones I know!
