Noticed for images. The reviewer picks up few files and reviews and then the next day some. It may be a process at SS. I gave it over 1500 images in last 3 days or so.

Strange but true. Adobe has stopped not sure why. Selling nothing for last few days there. Strangely, I got sale from DP, RF and several others including SS too consistently. On adobe my last sale was on 5/20/2019. Nothing after that.

DP is selling more nature photos for me than any other agency. I have no issues in uploading images there.

I evaluated google, amazon and Azure for having a system for processing there. After putting some systems in place, I calculated costs. Those are very high. The storage cost is hourly. I am settled on this now to have the dedicated hardware at my premises. Cloud storage is not cheaper. If you are looking for space for photos, I would say use mostphotos they are generous. You can download them whenever you need. and yeah sale also here and there sometimes.

I use 2 each 2TB external Seagate disks. Western Digital can give you the deathly symptoms anytime. I have seen cases of completely wipeouts with WD. Seagate never gave me any problem.

In my very early days, I had shot some peanuts and salary text photos. Those have bad edits. Those sell every month beginning and ending. Many with feeling down and burnout download them in good numbers.

Another image with blankets, sells a lot all the months.

The past earning is not in total earning. The unpaid earning total is only of March 2019. It does not include past unpaid earning. I have opened a ticket.

You opened a ticket? Because of something that happens every month? I bet the SS contributor support loves the new entry standards.

  My mind tricked me actually. 

I have no wish to operate "dodging  and diving" business. I want to operate legitimately and going with the rules of agencies. If nothing works, I will seek the multiple partners who will have the common pool business and exclusive and non-exclusive accounts will be operated under legal names and identities. I am going to write to agencies to seek all the advice they provide me for doing business with them fairly without breaking/bending rules.

Need your advise and guidance.

I have good portfolios with 10 agencies which are doing fairly well with periodic returns. I am thinking of having exclusive and non-exclusive portfolios with istock, dreamstime and others. Can an individual operate like this or better a business given a name legally can operate with two portfolios. Has anyone tried.

I see with DT, it is the contract of photographer being exclusive not portfolio, so may be I would need another person to sign-up as exclusive as I am already non-exclusive there.

If it works, the business can expand and can have benefits of both being exclusive and non-exclusive. I have resources and means to setup two different production units. 

Please share your views. Highly appreciated.

I realize, for lost royalty it may be in payments, although it does not show in payment history. Will wait to see.

My portfolio is showing only March Sale in earning summary. There is no payment information. Anyone else is also experiencing the same?

I joined Zoonar today. Inspired by Backyardsilver who showed with evidence that in 2018 he received significant earning from Zoonar. Lets see how it goes for individual effort.

It does not work any more. Clicking on setup is error 500. The page you were looking for doesn't exist.

Error code 500.

Best of Luck Pauws99 and Mj. I am in microstock for long term. I am not going away. I wish to to make that dream money even when I am sleeping. After all, we all need money no matter which hour made that.
