iStockPhoto.com / Re: The 4/3/11 Istockphoto Best Match Change« on: April 03, 2011, 16:52 »I'm a diamond independent. By chance, I did a search a few days ago on "salad", and was really happy that several of my images were on the front page. I just tried that again, and they have disappeared from view. I stopped searching after the first few pages. Yep. My best sellers have dropped several pages. This doesn't look good. 228
iStockPhoto.com / Re: How has the new Best Match affected your sales?« on: March 19, 2011, 00:12 »
Sales have plummeted for me this week. For the whole week I've made less than what I would normally make in a day.

After all the shenanigans at IS lately, I'm not about to complain about Shutterstock's login process.

Anybody remember the last piece of GOOD news from IS? I can't.

Yes. It has picked up for me also.

Much better site! Great improvement. Just wish I could get a sale every now and then.

I'm going to try to be optimistic about the future changes.

Absolutely ridiculous! Just another reason why Congress needs to pass this: www.fairtax.org

Since the buyout, my sales have dramatically increased. This month has been an exception, though. Sales are way down.

Wow! This is amazing. Would any of these pass Istock's inspection?

Veer / Re: Veer Dash for Cash« on: September 09, 2010, 19:24 »
Well, I made it! Just barely broke the 400 level.

Veer / Re: Veer Dash for Cash« on: September 09, 2010, 15:59 »
Wow! Just had a ton of images rejected for all kinds of reasons. I was sure that I would reach the 400 image target. I don't think it will happen now. Anybody else have surprising rejections lately?

iStockPhoto.com / Re: iStock changing royalty structure« on: September 07, 2010, 19:53 »All of this reminds me of why I love Shutterstock. Well, they don't have a track record of screwing over contributors. They keep it simple. In the 4 1/2 years I've been there, there has never been a decrease in contributor's share. There have been increases though. I like it. You could be right. I don't know. I just know about my past experience and it's been good. 242

iStockPhoto.com / Re: iStock changing royalty structure« on: September 07, 2010, 15:33 »
Wow! This is bad across the board.....exclusives and non-exclusives. A few months ago they enticed contributors to go exclusive with the guaranteed next level (total downloads) and now we're being hit with this. Glad I didn't make the jump, but I'm still getting a big cut.

I like CanStockPhoto. Regular sales have been inching upwards and the Fotosearch sales are nice.

Maybe that info is only available for a RM image.

StockFresh / Re: StockFresh - from Peter Hamza and Andras Pfaff« on: August 09, 2010, 17:17 »Reviews have been quick for me, just like they used to be with StockXpert and only a few rejections. Nothing like crestock. I still think some old StockXpert buyers will use them instead of the site that closed StockXpert down. I will give them some time to get the site going, they said they were going to build it up slowly, so I don't understand why people are surprised when they are doing that. I agree. Reviews have been quick for me also. Sure, I've had rejections that I didn't understand, but that happens with every agency. Definitely much different that Crestock.....at least for me. 247

Congratulations Lisa. I'd be happy to just make gold.

Adobe Stock / Re: Fotolia Emails - strange - but figured it out« on: July 19, 2010, 17:07 »I get sporadic emails as and when they feel like it, so rhyme or season. I make sales every day, but only get 1 or 2 notifications a week. Same here. 249
General Stock Discussion / Re: Model Release« on: July 18, 2010, 09:53 »If a buyer wishes to see the signed model release, do the agencies make this available to him?No. A buyer has to be satisfied with the agency's assurance there is a valid MRF on file. That's enough warranty. Why would he need the MRF for, with all the private information? You can guess... Yeah. That was my concern. For some reason, it never occurred to me until now. Thanks for the info. 250
General Stock Discussion / Model Release« on: July 18, 2010, 07:13 »
If a buyer wishes to see the signed model release, do the agencies make this available to him?
