Hooray ! Just reached my payment threshold so made a request. I have a feeling that will probably be my last payout from DT.

Absolutely stone dead. For weeks I have been hanging at $98 which makes me unable to withdraw my money. I never upload anymore now.

Same here. 404 error.

DT still dead and hanging at $96 so will never be able to cash my earnings for a very long time. They are pathetic and I will not be bothering to upload anymore.

IS have done much better for my images this year as well as SS.

Well still at $96 and hanging so no chance of cashing earnings for a long long time as I need $3. This is just tragic when I have 1225 images (that sell well on SS)  :-\

Still dead and annoyingly only $3 away from payment threshold of which will take weeks to achieve.

There isn't even a zero showing or balance of earnings anymore, as there is every month, even with zero earnings.

Maybe there aren't many other iS audio suppliers on msg (?).

I am referring to image sales too.

I have been getting consistent audio downloads at IS, this year with increased images sales up until last Thursday and I have not had a single sale since 30th June in both media.

Anyone else experienced this unusual halt ?  :-\

Would this do the job ? It seems highly rated

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Epson-Perfection-Scanner-ReadyScan-Technology/dp/B00ECBRW5E/ref=cm_srch_res_rtr_1


pretty sure, it would! Myself, I am using the Epson Perfection V370 which is totally sufficient, and results get accepted by all the common agencies without any hiccups.

Your preference for Epson is reasonable, they are IMHO great and support all Operating Systems (I mean really OS-es as in Win-Mac-Linux, and not Win3-Win-7, Win-8 or Win-10 all of which are only flavors of one-and-the-same Microsoft stuff of some lawyer-son, Bill Gates or what he calls himself, who is abusing young girls in India as guinea pigs for his dirty "foundation's" vaccines mania)!

If you want to avoid unnecessary vendor lock-in, then you also want to make sure to avoid Canon like the plague (they're still using the same old driver set that's around since the 1990s and wasn't so great on my Win95 back in the day either)...

Go for the V550 if you find a good price. As resolution always comes at a cost (file size), I have to confess that I rarely use the full-blown 9600dpi setting of the V370 (nor even more than its hardware resolution of 4800dpi very often). Agencies aren't overly enthusiastic about large files either. So the extra specs of the V550 may or may not be a deal breaker (or rather -maker) in your case. 35mm slides and the occasional 120 film scan work great on both models. I am even playing around with glass-plated negative antiques and old 16mm film clips on the V370 right now. For me, the lower-priced V370 model is therefore already a more-than-sufficient scanner for microstock..

Thanks Cliff. Most helpful.

Why, after uploading continually, do I not see sales for weeks, then a few in one go, then weeks without, then a few in one go, etc etc ?

191
I had 2 "on demand" sales last week, each for $5.40.

What is going on at IS ? haven't had a download for 4 days. That is unusual as I sell audio pretty successful there.

A long time with no sales then a few. A long time with no sales then a few. A long time with no sales then a few. That's the pattern. Awful place despite uploading new content all the while.

Dreamstime.com / Anyone submitting audio ?
« on: May 17, 2016, 05:28 »
I had a recent email informing me DT are now accepting audio. I have submitted some for review to see how the land lies but I do notice no audio is live on the site as yet. Anyone else having a punt ?

Select correct subjects, make good photos, and use relevant keywords.

Do that myself but sales have drastically declined of late for myself.

197
So after a few weeks of trialling $79 prices for all clips it hasn't worked. Not a single sale. Time to lower the prices reluctantly  :-\

Well, at the very beginning sales were poor, but with a good SEO and spreading around the word among friends and photographers like you thing are going better and better every day.
People that want my art now simply buy through my site.
:-)

I just find the process of getting it up and running with the various downloads, plugins a bit complicated. A simple site that hosts your work would be a simple, easier option.
