Hi Luis,
can I ask you something?
I'm just curious...
I remember seeing your posts on IStock forum as well. At the end of the month, you were counting your Photos.com downloads.
Why are you so keen on selling your images for 0.25 cent with Getty?
I know you like SS, and I like them too. SS is a great site.
Do you realise that by accepting the Getty deal there is a real danger that SS will do the same in the future? Or what about DT and their higher level images?
No more commission increase at SS, no more higher level subs at DT.
Since you're very happy to contribute to 0.25 cent at Getty, what's to stop the other agencies to do the exact same thing some time in the future?
Everyone gets 0.25 cents. End of story. Might even include IS Exclusives if Getty can get away with it.
So I wonder, why are you doing it?
I'm guessing it's money. You want money and you want it now.
Forget about tomorrow.
But of course, this is your choice and I can only wish you luck,
Hi, how are you? No problem! I agree with you but honestly for now I am growing at IS, so I will continue on Partner Program! I know that 0.25$ is too low, but being non-exclusive you need to find $ all around right?.. I don't believe that SS will lose their customers, they will remain that big agency! About DT I am feeling a drop in sales, I guess I am too new to take big conclusions but I like DT a lot also, don't really know why but do!
SS won't suspend the raises, but if they do what can we do??.. I guess I would opt-out but why if everybody, I guess a lot, once ThinkStock have a lot of pictures there..!
What do u want me to do? What do you expect from Stock Agencies?? To remove ThinkStock new site?? OK I am with you!.. But they won't..
And what about XP, Hemera collection??? Remove the portfolio?? I got there 900 photos! Microstock ain't easy, and unfortunately we need to keep up, unless you have a great portfolio and stick on IS, or better "exclusivity" on SS! (who knows one day right??)
