Thanks cascoly.
Unfortunately seems that also the cia world factbook requires credits:

Where can i find a source of free flag images for microstock ?

Hi,
can i use flags files from wikimedia commons for microstock as part of an illustration or a photography manipulated ?
I read this: "I grant anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law." ... but i'm not sure if it is also valid for reselling
I need to use some flags which are difficult to draw (those that contain symbols).
Thanks in advance.

Comparison 2016-2017 after 16 days on SS:
Portfolio +16%
Downloads -18%
Earnings -35%

Yes, same here, 30-40% down 2016/2017 on SS in the first 10 days of January.
I'm curious to hear the conference call of Q4 2016 ... in Q3 there was the first down in download from 43,4 mln to 41,2 mln.
The flood of crappy and spamming images cover the good quality ones.

"Hi, I noticed strong sales drop since monday 21  . I still cant find out where the problem is? Search engine shows results as usual (i'm from Europe). Maybe is caused by upcoming holiday season, Who knows?"
Yes, same here ... Very strange. I notice a 40/50% drop in download in the last ten days ... I'm from Europe, contributor from 2011. In 6 years November will be first month with Shutterstock under 50% of my total earnings.

Good sales, after 18 days FT has 17,70% of my total earnings in october.
Last year had 10,85% and this year, after 9 months and 18 days, has 11,78% (+0,93%).
Shutterstock has the worst performance 2015->2016. Down 3,59%.

Mmm ... I don't know, but these are my earnings stats 2015 to 2016 today after 9 months and 9 days:
1st 123rf +1,80% (of my total earnings)
2nd Fotolia +0,70%
Last SS -3,28% (down from 62,64% to 59,36%).

Yearly download per image rate:
2012: 3,26
2013: 3,11
2014: 2,69
2015: 2,06
2016: 1,50 (prediction after 6 months)
So, if you have 1000 items:
In 2012 you collect 3260 download/year (avg)
In 2016 you collect 1500 download/year (avg)

Actually, if it was my company, I wouldn't be that happy with only a 21% sales increase from a 61% asset increase over the period. Translate those figures to contributors, and it won't be long before many of them chose to bail out.
Yes ... and often new items are low low quality images and vectors ...

It happens to me ... I haven't solutions, the script is old (january 2016).

Mmm ... September is average for me, but 123 has the best performance in 2016 compared to 2015.
Earnings from 123 in 2016 are 6,39% of my total. In 2015 were 4,82%.

I also got those two emails. As I don't like clicking on links in emails (even if they do look legit) I sent a message to Bigstock support if this really came from them. No answer yet...
But, as others, I can't log in to my BS account any more with my old password...
Same here !

3rd April, i will close my account.
I hope that 3rd April will be the "Closing Account Day" on 500px.

Are you experiencing long review times at 500px for curated collection ?
Months for me ...

« on: February 09, 2016, 08:06 »
Thank you so much Z.T. for complete answer  And congrats for sales !

Even if I had a very good start with SS this month, 500px is, surprisingly, my leading agency for February. At least for the time being. It only took 3 massive sales, to claim the first spot. 3 massive sales against ~400 micro-sales on SS.
Very good ! I have only 60 images and zero sales after 5 months. How many followers have you ? And how many point (pulse) reach your pictures (mine 85-98 ..., all my shots are popular ...) ? Thanks, Bauman.
