I was in exactly the same situation as you. I like you didn't post on IS forums just to keep my head down as you say. have no fear! there is life after exclusivity and IS isn't the only player in the market. Once I have more experience and data I will share my findings with the community since I know there are many in the same position as you and me. 35

An excellent analogy, a Ferrari isn't a car. a Ferrari is a piece of art that also happends to be car. Someone who buys a ferrari uses his emotions and heart, not his brain. 37

shudderstok:
not bad at all, the only problem is you are a minority, "we are the 99%" . I can give you me as a good example. A loyal (ex) gold IS exclusive for years. portfolio grew the last year by over 40% (over 5.5K images in total) earnings dropped over 40% RPI from a peak of 67c to 25c If exclusivity works for you then great, if and when it wont well then I guess you are always welcome and join the indy club. You will also get a free bonus of people liking you much more around here 38

I have been an indy for 3 days now, I think some patience will help before jumping to any conclusions.

Worst month in years as an exclusive at IS (not for long).
~1,400$ if anyone wants to know. Hopefully that will change soon. 43

Thanks.
A bit OT but do you know of a way to process files in bulk ? The only thing I have found that might help is this: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/101172 44

General Stock Discussion / Re: Experiences after quitting iStock exclusivity.« on: March 18, 2013, 03:57 »Why so long? We plan to have our entire 5K+ portfolio up and running in at least 10 different MS sits in about 1 month after exclusivity ends. That is the main time consumer indeed, uploading 100gb+ to each site also takes time, but 1 month after exclusivity ends + 30 days notice to IS = 2 months, which is quite a lot of time with 2 people and my new 3mb upload DSL helps gostwyck: thanks a lot, I hope for the best but it is a bit difficult to be optimistic after such a bad year. I feel like a beaten wife leaving her abusive husband. Cobalt: an income hit is expected, I was talking of the time needed to get the port up and running at the different MS sites, with the "big 4" being a priority. The faster they get there the less you lose. I do plan to open a new thread on our experience and share what ever I can so maybe I can help the others who are considering doing the same, but we still have 3 weeks waiting period at IS and anyways this is Lucato's thread 48
