my payment has come through now

No payment received yet. My Pond5 dashboard shows "Payday Paypal" and "Undo Payday" events today - so they sent payment then swiftly "unsent" it

Deleted account, it felt good!

iStockPhoto.com / Re: iStock non-exclusive subs growth?
« on: August 27, 2015, 07:31 »
Subs haven't slowed much over summer, autumn sales will be the real test

31
Yes, but it took a while! If I compare my income from the last 3 months as an exclusive ( Nov 12 + Dec 12 + Jan 13 ) and compare that to my equivalent Indie income ( Nov 14 + Dec 14 + Jan 15) - Indie income was 8% higher. So it is a small gain for a lot of work, but I can never know how much my exclusive income would have dropped in those 2 years.

32
Yep became indie in Feb 2013 so RPI went off a cliff at that point!

33
Not really uploading to IS anymore, but that hasn't really affected my monthly RPI which hovers around 0.15 compared to around 1.00 for SS (Photos only)


34
problems with Alamy and Fotolia for me, any news? thanks

Calculated my SS photo RPI for September and submitted a vote, most interesting thing is that it 6.8 times higher than my IS RPI for August- couldn't directly compare Sept as PP sales not in yet.

36
I had this problem, email [email protected] and they will make them non-exclusive for you

37
I decided to deactivate my small video portfolio at IS, you get much better sales volume and royalty at P5 and SS. 15% is ridiculously low and my clips getting no views or sales there anyway!

Best month since Aug 2012, encouraged by SS, Alamy and P5

Pretty happy, best month since August 2012. Encouraged by increased sales at SS, Alamy and P5.

Big improvement on April 14 due to a large SOD and multiple footage sales. Hope it continues, but think I was just lucky in May!

28% down compared to March, hopefully just the holidays causing the dip

Also just had a PP bump, IS just added a PP (Getty Images) sale for $28.50, must be 360 coming in.

Love it, look forward to episode 3!

About the same income as Jan 2014, but 10% higher than last Feb so happy enough. SS and IS slightly down on Jan 14, but increases at Alamy, 123 and P5 made up the difference. Also slight bump from Canstock which I joined in Feb.

General Stock Discussion / Re: December 2013 earnings
« on: January 03, 2014, 06:01 »
Dec '13 not a good month with royalties down 30% on Nov '13. Earnings a shade lower than Dec '12 (when IS photo exclusive) at -2%.

46
yes my rates have dropped too

« on: December 29, 2013, 16:50 »
My PP RPD has dropped 58% from October to November, very mysterious! Hopefully payments are not complete yet, but I have green bars all the way through November.

Newbie Discussion / Re: Best noise reduction program
« on: December 11, 2013, 03:17 »
I occasionally use Imagenomic Noiseware to smooth noisy night skies. I think it does a better job than PS or Lightroom noise reduction, mainly due to the large range of controls and presets.

You can change the default thumb on the edit page of approved footage - navigate to see all approved footage and click on the pencil to edit, the link underneath the thumb allows you to choose a new thumbnail. Hope that helps.

Happy with my November - first month since going photo and video independent that I have seen a revenue increase compared to 2012. IS audio sales pretty solid and the odd video sale from FT, DP and Revo, which is encouraging. SS and FT both up and BME, but didn't sell anything on Alamy or GL.
