Sometimes it seems as though the pictures are reviewed immediately, then other times it's like months.

One payout every two years there is. A.

Alamy is my favorite. They are nice and helpful when I need help. My top earner so far. And there are more types of images that I can upload.

I quit after one year and three sales there  :o

General Stock Discussion / Wildstock anyone?
« on: February 27, 2018, 08:53 »
I saw some facebook adds for Wildstock but can't find here anything that refers to it. Anyone a contributor, how's your experience?

Stock is the right place for you if you don't care for the money- or lack thereof.

12
Why does it matter there are no sales there don't bother.

Newbie Discussion / Re: what's with all the frustration !

Per hour of work this is the worst pay I could ever imagine. Absolutely anything I do on the side for extra money earns more than stock in terms of pay for hours worked. I don't feel frustrated by it since I knew this might happen, its just not something I feel optimistic about.

I once went a little far for an editorial photoshoot and failed to take memory cards. The place was remote so I was not able to buy one. Knowing what i know today, I would have made about .25 c on that photoshoot anyway, so I did not lose money buy being forgetful.

I think it has a lot to do with the way the wind is blowing. I did terribly in February, but well in march. It's how they tweak their search engine. Let's hope the wind will blow your way soon.

One type of composition I know they tend to reject are closeup-ups that fill the frame. But really going from accepting everything almost to rejecting almost everything was a little extreme.  :-[

Last time I submitted a batch I had 70 images rejected in 74. Before that, I'd had a total of 4 images rejected in one year. It seems as though they are making big changes or getting into some kind of trouble storing images? Anyway, after that rejected batch, not a single sale for a month. Go figure.

photography is light reflected. No light no photography. Plus the turtles move during their egg-laying activities.

It is figuring out what will sell. Images that are in short supply in databases, those that you find only a few with a combination of keywords, tend not to be images that customers are looking for consistently. There are exception, of course, but my experience in trying to supply material where I don't find too many results after keyword searches have ended up in few or no sales. Subjects that are saturated, however, tend to sell much better if you are lucky to have a few customers choosing your photo early on.

It is worth for me. They are very good at negotiating higher priced licenses. On average I earn more there per download than I earn at SS.

Out there shooting and key wording and uploading and having no time for the negativity of this place?

you need better photos, to go the extra step to produce something very unique and more marketable. If you want to stay. Regardless, it is a tough market that will test your endurance.   For those starting now, look up to DT and other middle and lower tiers to heap some reward in one, two years depending on how much you upload.

It is a mistake to think that you can simply upload to stock the photos that you would normally take - snapshots of a vacation or a walk in the park. You need to be very deliberate about what you shoot, and upload. And always ask yourself, "what is the commercial or editorial reason for this photo? How would a customer use it to sell an idea or a product, to to illustrate a point?"

Whether you should stay or give it up is up to you, but you need a change in your frame of mind if you stay.

Thanks, I am a big fan of qHero. Now, I can't really read the content of the web pages on the video. It is too small and the contrast is not very good.

The reality is, despite all evil people say against istock, it is worth it. On average I make 0.28c per image subscription on istock, contrasting with the 0.25 on SS.  On some months they represent my best earner. I don't know what will happen now with the new royalties. I've stopped uploading for a while and will just observe.

« on: February 22, 2017, 22:25 »
As far as I understand it my average commission per subscription is about 0.28c but  I also had a few very low (0.12, 0.16) ones.

What is the difference between the Istock collection and the Istock essentials collection?
