Fotolia needs to provide an opt out for this terrible deal. If they don't provide an opt out removal of images maybe the best business decision available.

Why not just a sole proprietorship? I am closing my corporation after 32 years for a lot of reasons. Mostly to save money and simplify my life. Unless you have liability concerns, why incorporate -- and the corporate vail can be broken.
My tax guy says an LLC provides a measure of liability protection... but it's far from perfect. He also says the LLC can open a 401k for itself allowing me to defer a portion of my royalty income... and pay those taxes latter. Eventually I see myself picking up a photographer insurance policy and trying more ambitious shoots with models, locations, etc.,. Organizing into a LLC is partially with a view towards those plans.

My tax guy recommended that I organize my stock photo and video accounts into a single member LLC. So I registered one, got the EIN, opened a checking and 2nd paypal (business) account.
I'm beginning the process of changing 15 microstock agency accounts. Has anyone done this recently? If so was it easy or were there issues?
Thanks

Anyone know what the social media license pays?

My photos were quickly removed... but then came back. Will write support again.

I hate this deal. A good portion of my port is travel and travel editorial related. Much of my material is subject matter they decided should be given away for free. Deactivating my port maybe a sound business decision. Certainly something I'm thinking over.
I see it differently : once your embedded images are clicked 100 or 200 times you could make one sale, the average conversion-rate on e-commerce sites is 0.5% to 1%, photos are a bit harder to sell so maybe you can expect 0.1%
I do not believe free use of my images will ever result in a sale. Only lost sales.

Photogenica is showing the portfolio names I only use (or used) at Veer, 123. They are also showing the name I use at DP and others...

I also requested removal of my images and videos from Shotshop and all partner sites. Allowing subscription buyers to resell images is unacceptable. I'm considering deactivating all my images. Hopefully DepostitPhotos management will correct their policies in a timely matter.

Just dragged a preview of one my images to my desktop. It's 1200 pixels. The Clashot watermark is very tiny down in the right corner. Even worse than FAA. Getting lots of views too. Does anyone know if an opt out is possible? I don't see a opt out button at deposit.

You have to write support. There is no self delete function. They are usually quick to reply.

It would be better if there was an "editorial" button in the photo submission page.... like the one in the video submission page.

Photoshelter has a (rudimentary) universal search feature. It would be great if Photodeck offered that as well. Especially if it could separate photos from the illustrations... something Photoshelter lacks.

Click More, then Download. The sales list is a monthly lump. Click and scroll from there.

Non exclusive uploads are checked as "exclusive " in the pending files section. Seems to be a bug in the upload process.

My images have been waiting 32 days.... Is it only me or are they that far behind?

They have my files too. They are showing a name I only use at Veer.

The Canon 6D has GPS. It's fun in the desert but will drain the battery over night even while the camera is turned off.

Of the 150,000 some images added on SS this week, 10,000 was from the factory above. I looked at this guy's port one month ago, and since that time he/she/they has/have added 40,000 images!!!! Mind boggling. Kudos to them--smart businesspeople.
274614 images.... plus 10K added in a week! Gotta wonder... how many employees are needed to do that?

I've heard about 120K views are needed before a video (with ads) makes the $100- payout minimum.... The video creator must own or have permission for all content in the video. Videos with "matched third party content" (borrowed music) carry ads too but the earnings go elsewhere.

I love the "idea" of having my own site but have no desire to process individual rf transactions. I'm also careful to make sure my paypal transactions are less than 200 per year. I don't want to trigger the dreaded double 1099 reporting.
I would happily pay a percentage of sales for an easy upload to a semi-customisable template (with common sense licensing terms in place) and central processing of sales with a monthly payout.

About 185 of my approved uploads went missing on Friday. I wrote support. They said the tech people will look into it....
