Just in case, I don't see any difference in ODs. But subs drop veeery much down and SoDs hit zero this month. So only ODs stay at the same level.

This is a really bad move from them against us contributors. Cutting our already low commission like this ain't that nice move. It cuts the downloads, but we still get the same crappy .38$. If I can't get the bills paid, then I'll go for another work and stop uploading. Is that what you want SS? Less high quality images? Wake up!
I'm affraid I must worry you - they (SS) don't read this forum. I asked them many times to wake up, change their mind, etc, never got any respond. You/ we are talking to the empty wall only. But, the nature doesn't like emptyness. If there is a hole it should be filled. It's time for some new model agency to build a really great platform for contributors. Fair pricing, respect for our work, ... The place where we could find happy clients with happy artists. I'm affraid it would have to be exclusive (something like Stocksy, but opened widely, so everyone could love it and use it).

Hi all
would also appreciate some feedback: i applied and got a rejection impressively fast...
I sent this link, a site where all my photos are online:
https://www.colourbox.com/supplier/anne-ms-358
I have a lot of people images, maybe that is not what Canva wants? Also thinking, maybe it would had been better to send link to shutterstock, where i have a lot less images, but maybe a 'better' selection:
http://www.shutterstock.com/cat.mhtml?gallery_id=469564
Feedback greatly appreciated!
Fantastic portfolio, I would try out for Stocksy for sure. You seem to have a style compared to what they offer.
Just a few comments, a few photos seem a bit odd, with crooked horizons (intentional or not) and the kid with a thermometer against a blue background. Its not a pose you normally see with sick kids 
Overall great portfolio and doesnt deserve a rejection from Canva. I would send an email to Lee @ Canva and ask for a second opinion.
Good luck.
My thought exactly! You have really great gallery, beautiful and strong work done. And I'm not sure you should bother with any micro site with your work. It's just to good.

Mictostock = micro money. Lately Alamy anonunced that they love micro. I still wonder why... An image that basically is sold for pennies or given away for free to ensure that the CEO's of the Microstock companies become extremely rich  + 10000000... for this post!! I can't wait to see better and more correct answer  And we are still selling on this 0,25 - 0,28 $ sites... 
Be happy (yeah, right) and grab the moment, it won't stay forever. And don't expect it will change with a raise, no no, no...

How was it going? "upload more so maybe sales will come..." ? Sad, how hard it is to be fair with people who bring them money today. Artist is just a robot and his only one option seems to be "work more so maybe..." Sorry, but it's not easy to be positive lately.

Your question is already answered here, just read the forum before asking. Besides, something good for me may be not good for you. Try them all (after reading this forum, and specially DP threads, FT, BS etc.). Have a nice reading weeks.

I recently came across a site called displate.com . They print art on metal. Does anyone have experience with them?
They don't read IPTC, in keywords no commas, you get 25%. There are limits up to 7 files/week and 250 files in gallery if I remember correct. You can upgrade to paid account (lol). About Society6. I asked them if there's option to improve site with adding watermark on our work (after I've found my work without any protection on Pinterest). They say it's bad idea and clients won't buy our work then LOL. Btw, interesting reading here about pinterest sharing art work.

KnowYourOnions, I get really tired of your well known hate to Pond5. Why don't you improve your life and close your account if P5 makes you feel so bad that you need to show it to us everywhere and every day? Seriously...

I hope it is just me but my sales (mid month already) are very poor. I will have to find a soup kitchen and homeless shelter if things don't pick up soon 
My thoughts lately. I don't even want to say in details...

Many new agencies showed up last year and many of them died before opening or very fast after. Why? Are they only dreamers, or get subsidy (free money for new business from government), or didn't prepare proper analysis, business plan, or ...?
And please don't tell me it's photographers fault, that we didn't support newcomer who can't tell us a word about their plan. It's obvious we won't upload whole batches of work to questionable newcomer. Many of the agencies don't even read IPTC, have no FTP, bulk edition system, fast website, etc, etc...
Stocktal, Stockboo, Pixyloo, Ez Medi Art, Ultimatstock, Fox Image, etc...

It's a bit amazing to me that I get minus-ed for my previous post. Are there that many people here who actually think subscriptions are good for contributors? There always will be that kind of ... people. You should really not care about minuses. The world is full of photogs who even don't think about producing and uploading to SS. Many authors left. Many think about it, or stopped uploading, or upload only, lets say, less valuable work. You should care more about pluses on your account more than minuses from the forum, lol Do what your intuition tell you And back to my question, I though SS earns more with SoDs sales (like we/ I do) than on subs... It's easy - one ~100$ sale = xxx 0,3x sales... (for SS that means easy 200$ in pocket with only one sale) I don't think they would cut out SoDs and preffer subs. There must be something else, just don't have idea what it is...

Good question - where did SoDs go?
In March I had them every week, now, since first April there's no even one SoD... I hope it's not the result of new terms changes for clients on SS (higher copy limits etc)?

I gave you the answer in other threads on this forum - they don't have that list and can't control it (at least they admit it in email). I told here in 2014 about my experiences with them (no control at all, no answers, lies, ...), really interesting to read and learn. Welcome to read the threads below. What should be said, was said already, nothing new will come.

You can find images with title words even if it's not in keywords. And remember they take images from Dreamstime too...

Did you see it? I have only one opinion - one huge mistake, nightmare!  I had everything clear and easy to get, now: it looks awfull (!), is useless, can't find easy what I need... Why damage something that is good?
95
« on: April 07, 2015, 10:27 »
Ron, would you please add better titles of your threads? The "10%" title doesn't tell much and it's another time when I open your thread without any idea what will I read about... Thanks a lot for understanding!

"When a clip of yours is sold, you keep 50% of the sale price if your clip is exclusive to Nimia. If it is not exclusive, you keep 35%."
For example, Pond5 lets you set up your own pricing and non exclusive get 50%... What would be so encouraging in Nimia then?
Btw, when I try to open some work I often get: "404 The page you are looking for does not exist or has been moved. Sorry about that!"

Did you read the forum already? So many threads and thousands posts about which is worth and which even don't borther...
