Never done it. I'd be worried about them ending up being sold or given away on some illicit site somewhere.

Well, this is also a problem when you sell on microstock...

Best work will earn 15.000 US$??

Not bad... but as you say is a bet not a job

I can see some people selling photos and vector illustration at eBay, but most of them sell a full CD/DVD photo set, it is posible to sell only the digital file?

Have anybody some experience doing that??

2015-3-28... strangely no sale... anyway I do not worry because it is statistically possible (to have a day without sales); I worry more about weekly and monthly earn

ahhh the old "1 dollar a day" myth ....
here's the cheapest jobs i've seen in the last year so far :

- cambodia : female garment workers enslaved in chinese factories for 80-90$/month, they're often on strike asking for 150$/month but in the meantime it's 3$/day including 2 meals and transportation and such a low salary is only possible because they're women so their money adds up to the salary of their husband or their family, men will make 100-120$ even cleaning toilets and an apprentice clerk or shopkeeper makes 150$ in the capital while white collars jobs in office go from 2-300$ up and same for sales jobs + commissions and bonuses.

- vietnam : inflation booming, salaries from 150$ up.

- indonesia : more or less on par with cambodia unless we talk about Bali or Jakarta, in that case you just can't find anyone for less than 5$/day unless you provide meals and accomodation.

- philippines : similar scenario, you may heard of very cheap salaries but they include rooms and food and extras

- thailand : forget it, the minimum salary by law is now 10$/day (300 baht) and even illegal workers won't move a finger for less than 5-7$.

- malaysia : white collars earning easily 500-1000$/month, blue collars 3-400 + extras.

- singapore : salaries as high as in the west, with an army of enslaved immigrants from indonesia and philippines working for 3-400$/month which is really a pittance in Singapore but still 10-13 bucks per day ...


now ... where's this mythological land of "1 dollar per day" ?

Hobostocker, thank you for share your knowledge with us; i may have to travel to Asia in a few months and this info will be very useful to know the context of different countries.

When i say that in India people earn 1US$ per day I based on a personal communication I had with a friend on 2005 (not my personal experience because i never was in Asia before); he told me that people earn about 2 or 3 rupiahs per hour and 25 rupiahs was a dollar, so i calculated 10 hours of work about 1 dollar (1 dollar per day).

Of course as you told this is not the situation of most workers, but maybe of some of them.

By the way, did you know what is the average salary in Taiwan??

In a lot of less rich countries you will earn less than 100 $ flipping burgers (or equivalent) and 50$ cleaning toilets�
In the country where I live the monthly average salary is around  $150.
Here nobody will spit on 8 or 10 times the average salary�

This thread is turning into international economics issue... In 2005 i was talking with my friend about different countries in the world and average salaries; he told me that in India average salary was 1 dollar per day; so it is a very good business for people in this countries this kind of internet deals/business; and if you live in a country where 100US$ per month is nothing, bad luck for you, because nobody will pay you more if you have a lot of people from India and other countries doing the job for cents.

Golbalizacion also is giving more chances to people from poor countries to work remotely in foreign countries and affecting the work of local people. My brother is computer engineer and now he is competing not only with other local engineers but also with some free lancers from other poor countries, so you must adjust your fees to get the jobs.

^ I think that there is not a single button to push to accept the image or one to push to reject it.
It should be, I imagine, a list to check [yes/no] + a corresponding list of errors.

It would be interesting to know, from somebody with experience in reviewing images for microstocks, how it works exactly.

Yes, you are right... but i use the "ACEPT Button" as a metaphor of just acept images quickly without real check it...

Im also waiting for somebody answer... i never understand the poll; of course if a site is at top of the ranking this site is the best... but i cannot understand what the score means...

Most Popular means what SS thinks you will want to see and be most likely to buy. It should be titled, Agency Selection for your search.

It has to do with, downloads, age, views, keywords, buyers location, previous purchases, previous searches, or who knows how many other things that SS has determined the buyer might want. Nothing to do with any obvious  or simple answer to what it means.

We don't know and they aren't telling.

Nice answer... thank you for your help 

Maybe they arent telling becuse if they do it we can manipulate it by someway

sometimes I also feel like I'm working for pennies; but keeping the hope that by having a large number of images revenues will be higher...

A business with great potential; or a waste of time?

I have noticed two things:

1- Most members of this forum upload photos, no illustrations
2- The sales statistics are different if you sell photos or illustrations

So if I have in mind the general post in this forum I will not have a real perspective which are the best sites to sell vector illustrations

I currently uploading my work to SS and DT and i want to upload to more sites but i dont want to waste time with very low earning sites, so i want to ask to people with more time and experience selling vector illustrations which are the best sites to sell my work.

Has nothing to do with a reviewer.

Any idea how this criteria works??
