Tried to in the afternoon, and then tried again on Sunday night. Website said the submission was successful, but there's nothing in the pending approval list.

I hope they fix it Monday morning.

Do I love getting 38 for a sale? No. But IMO that sale would probably not have existed before subs.

Why do you say that?

People who buy subscriptions obviously need images for their work, on a regular basis.   I'm guessing that whatever business they're in, it existed before subscriptions; and it would continue to exist even if all subscription plans ended tomorrow.  They might have to pay a dollar or two for those images, but doing so wouldn't put them out of business.

Yes, they existed, but they wouldn't be so liberal when it comes to downloading. I used a subscription and I still do. I download images I don't need sometimes, because I'm using them for comps. If subscriptions didn't exist, I would just download the watermarked images until I find the right one and only download the one I need instead of multiple.

Subs are also great for contributors. For the contributors whose work has a lot of commercial value, subs are a great way to help them get their images up the search results. Without subs, new uploads have little chance to rise up the ranks.

It's worth it if you can get your images up quickly. If your images contains the necessary meta data, getting it up on some sites can be fairly easy. If you're working with vectors, the task becomes a lot harder because of different upload requirements for different sites.

I have my portfolio up on 2 sites fully and 3 other sites partially. I put all my focus on the best selling sites and I try to maximize their earnings. When I have down time, I upload to the middle tier sites. So far, it's been going well for me.

OD/SOD makes up anywhere between 5-12% of my downloads.

US sales always makes up 5-10% of my sales. I think the majority of most FT sales comes from Europe.

FT doesn't take the title into consideration when searching for images.

If the words in the title are not in the keyword section, you will never find your images.

Don't you need be either exclusive Gold or non exclusive Emerald before you can change prices?

558
why the third name change? It's getting hard to remember who's who on this forum.

This is the last change. Promise.

The first change was because I need to be more anonymous when I reported someone for stealing my images. The second change was because I didn't know that the name Minscer was linked to some sex offender.

Brace yourselves. Videoblocks is all over the news today regarding their support for 360 degree videos.

The secret is out.

Fotolia is showing a clear sign of video sales growth probably due to the Adobestock integration.  This year's growth is accelerating now.  I'm seeing 3-4x sales compare to last year's same month.  Please don't tell anybody about this because it will "dilute" my sales.  LOL.

strange post, why the need to broadcast

I don't see the harm. People broadcast bad news on here all the time, so why not some good news as well?

Have we gotten so jaded that we think a bit of good news sounds...strange?

I don't know about videos since I don't any many yet, but my images have been selling really well on FT. I'm still working to get my entire portfolio up on FT and when I do...I estimate that earnings will be on par with SS.

I'm anticipating a big week next week since a lot of images got approved on Friday.

Sounds good.  Congrats!

Congrats to you as well. It's good to hear stories of success.

I was going to write them today and they reviewed all the images I've been uploading for the past 1.5 months. Go figure.

April is on pace to match my March earnings on SS.

FT is on fire and I'm on pace to a new BME.

Just the amount of sales per image. It's a good way to help analyze what the buyers are looking for.
