Selling a digital creation as stock is different from simply selling copies of it.  What you are selling is not the file, but specific usage rights to the file.  You can't sell that if you don't own it.  When you buy a file, you are buying the right to use it in stated ways, but not the right to sell it again. 

There may be some exceptions to that, but they would be rare, and expensive.

Get better software, and make your own designs.  You ARE an artist, aren't you?

Totally agree with you!

For my stock animations I use 3D models that I created myself . But I need more complex 3D objects.. I would like to buy some 3d objects/models, is this possible? Or I must created all by myself? Which license allows this? Is there some page that sells this?

Tnx

After every image submitted the screen goes blank and I need to start again at home page.
Are they trying to discourage uploads?
Nobody replies to emails.
Is anybody left?

Yes, I have this problem too.

Alamy.com / Re: What's happened?
« on: March 20, 2018, 10:57 »
About 20 sales in 2018, from an Alamy port made of under 900 photos. Last sale from March 11th. Not very impressive, when compared with other agencies.

Update: last sale from today, 03/20

Wow! Travel photos?

Yes.

Agree with others, stats on Fotolia, thats we need. And subcategories, I use this too.

Btw I am emerald now, this little green sign there.. happy happy  :)

It's a high number for me with a small port. Over 30 subscription sales, this has never happened before and I'm a bit suspicious. Most of the images are for one industry but a few are just outdoor scenes. Even an image that has never sold before. I barely make payout in one month so it's very unusual for me. I wish I could think it's a sign of things to come but I don't think so  ::) Am I in danger of the sales being reversed?

You do not need to be afraid, Such sales are happening here. Be happy and Congrats!

Maybe I missed it, but is there any kind of option to change thumbnail image on my accepted videos?

Less uploads there and that is it..

I have to agree with others... 12k clips should be wearing much more.  Could be a lot of factors.  Adding a link to your portfolio could bring some good constructive criticism to help you out with this.  I've uploaded about 1,200 clips in less than 3 years at Pond5 and earning over a thousand dollars per month.  I'm sure there's people with an even better sales to portfolio size ratio.

Really great work! Which camera do you use?

Example2: My earnings 0.29 Credit is reported as 029. Missing decimal point.

Does anyone else have this kind of problem?

Good luck to everyone!  ;)

Please include your account number so we can investigate.

Thank you,

Mat

« on: December 22, 2017, 04:41 »
Yes, this December is very strange at SS. A lot of zero sale days. Though AS and IS are much better in December, than ever. What's going on in micro stock world?

"... IS better in December ..."? How you know that?
