Envato / Re: How's your acceptance rate in Envato?
« on: July 02, 2014, 06:36 »
Acceptance rate has gone through the floor lately - and seem to accept what everyone else rejects. On the other hand easy to upload and sales OK - but no more than that but patchy.

"Because of that they give me the highest RPD after Alamy."  Which illustrates why that is such a meaningless stat. Probably my worst underperforming site compared with  my expectations

World Cup effect maybe?

Well thought through Mike - it amazes me how the smaller sites hang around so long.

I'm not sure about "premium quality" as I'm not surely its definable.

MSG posters predicting the imminent demise of the industry and saying its a waste of time while still uploading pictures.

Shutterstock still dominant I-stock clinging on.  RPI declining nano stock level pricing for Facebook and as yet unknown opportunities.

Something totally unexpected!

4457
Judging by my sales Panther already has a small circle of buyers!

A triumph of hope over experience? Don't think so

4460
Pretty good for me but I'm an overall poor performer by SS standards

4461
I've used Vista Print and found them good quality price depends on the various offers at the time

Had one sale for .77 Credits well ".777778333333" to be Precise  :o

The pie is bigger but cut into smaller slices

Alamy.com / Re: Alamy 6th? Surely this is a joke..
« on: May 01, 2014, 10:29 »
Tror,

Alamy actually regard their contributors as professionals capable of assessing their own images and therefore only assess a sample and punishing them if contributors don't do their QC properly but delaying the rejection. Different but certainly not unprofessional.

4465
The daily limit confuses me and I seem to lose files if I upload too many no sales for ages - on backburner

Very few sales for me increasing slowly but a pleasant diversion from stock

Many of us were weaned on Praktica cameras built like tanks!

I would suggest giving it another year and see where you are then don't give up the day job just yet!

I think 1$ per image per month is very high - look at your own stats and estimate from there. To replace your income of $600 you would need about 6000 images BUT there is a risk on income going down (or up) also you need to take into account any production costs


4469
Apart from Istock i've found everyone accepts the Dreamstime one

4470
$1,700 for "decent stills" h'mmmmm  :o

4471
Microstock is not art it is about commercial images

4472
This thread says more about its contributors than shutterstock  :o

4473
tickstock posts a lot I disagree with but has a point of view different to mine that doesn't make him a troll. Personally I see little point in always reading posts I agree with - thats how you stop thinking.

4474
Nice to know some people are doing it properly!

4475
Slow for me but a bit better than Yay - I don't know what other sites you are on but there a plenty better
