Bryan, I have a question and the answer might interest many. So I don't send it by PM but I'd rather post it here.

I have quite a few images rejected just for keywords and they "need work". As they were uploaded and submitted during the Dash for Cash period, will they still count for the program when I correct the keywords and resubmit? Or will the date of the resubmit be taken (obviously out of the program period).

I was wondering the same thing.

BME at BigStock!

There are roughly X number of images licensed in the world. Starting a new agency and selling DLs does not increase the number of images licensed in the world it only displaces some sales from somewhere else. Therefore taking less for an image on DreamerStock just diminishes the amount of money generated by picture sales which diminishes everyone's income. It's kinda simple. Best thing to do is not contribute a single image and let DS die before they a get even a sputtering of life.

Exactly!

10 cents?  Unbelievable!!!  I can't believe any contributor would sign up for this. 

Been waiting since the 1st.  I like Fotolia, but their payment system leaves something to be desired. 

"Wow" is right.  With an attitude like that, I don't think you'll find many people here eager to help with your problem.  As a matter of fact, many might relish the thought of you having one.  Get a grip!

It's even more powerful than first shown:

That's hilarious!

Shutterstock is performing very well for me. Bigstock has never been a big earner, so a BME is as easy to achieve as a WME; I'm not too worried about it.

Yeap Bigstock doesn't make a big difference either way. I am a bit disappointed to find out It's just me. I was kind of hoping everybody was having a good month which would indicate a growth for the site and more consistent future sales for everyone.

It's not just you.  I'm also having a great month.  Will probably turn out to be my BME. 

When this thread was started I hadn't seen any increase in sales at BigStock.

But the past week or so since the site redesign my daily sales totals have been roughly double what they were.   Have they been doing a big advertising push or something, or did I just finally get a break in the search results?

I had seen a definite increase a couple of weeks before the site redesign, but since then my sales have increased even more.  I don't know what's going on, but I hope it continues.

They closed on 11th Feb and all business has been transferred to IS. Why would you expect the site to be 'up'?

Because I intend to rake in the millions of Dollars earned by my images at ThinkStockPhoto via this site  At least that is how I understood the plan: Opt your photos in for subscriptions at StockXpert, get them transfered to Thinkstock, collect the money at StockXpert 

Yes, they stated several times in the messages they sent to every member that the site will stay running for those opted in into the ThinkStock to check and transfer their earnings.

Yes.  That's what I understood also.  Maybe they think that if they shut the site down, we'll forget about the money we're owed.

My sales at BigStock have picked up dramatically in the past 10 days.  They were very slow for the 3 months prior to that. 

Dramatically is a big word. BigStock has been steady with a slight increase over the past few months. Sales seem to happen in bursts, though - a couple of days of dormancy, and then all of a sudden several sales per day - random images, too.

Just telling my experience. 

I sure wish more people knew about this site.  We need some kind of organization.  Strength in numbers.
