I stopped using my Payoneer card because of their inactivity fee.
What is it ?

102
I have read with Payoneer you can have a prepaid credit card, do you know haow many dollars you have in Payoneer account for this?

103
Just complain and drain the anger, because there is nothing left to do. It is really frustrating. :( I'm really screwed! Time to switch to another activity if I don't want to starve.
As es la vida!

Could it be, that you have more trouble with selling new photos since around February? I

No, it already started last year for me. Adobe had it's peak for me in Summer 20, since then it's only going slowly downhills. This month is the worst. Adobe isn't even among my top selling agencies anymore.
Same, this month is the worst for me. :(

So for all you haters out there, looks like Jon has fallen on hard times and is selling his more expensive home in the Hamptons and moving to Florida to one that's about $10 million dollars less value?  :o Poor guy, what's he going to do next?
Poor rich guy, maybe he will sell his car and buy a cheap one. :)

Justin Bieber?
Nice for him! Enjoy his money and home! Nice home!
Working hard, some people say it would give you success. You should ask to the successful people like him. :)

With low paying in microstock i would use friends,  family or myself. I think.

Can you confirm if you are receiving this error when you are attempting to log in with your SFTP software, or is this happening in the Adobe Stock contributor portal?

thanks,

Mat
Now, everything is ok, not getting error message, thanks!

OK cool, there was a temporary issue that is now resolved. Will you please confirm you can upload using the new SFTP credentials?

Thanks,

Mat

Microstock News / Re: Are sales on Alamy lower because:
« on: May 06, 2021, 10:54 »
I have the same images on several microstock sites but also on Alamy which isn't microstock I want to get out of microstock, especially SS because I don't agree with the unethical way they treat contributors. Sadly the sales on Alamy are very low. Is this because buyers can look at Alamy then find your images cheaper (via a google search) on microstock? Or is it because Alamy doesn't offer subs to buyers.
Microstock destroyed sites like Alamy. I think.

116
On march i dind't have any sale. On april i have 10 sales for a total this month $ 4.5.  :(
I have 5884 files online. :(

117
I'll gladly take <$1 when Alamy also gives >$200+ as I've seen today.

Thanks Alamy, after 6 months I no longer want to be broken up with you...
Good times are gone! :(
A macrostock became a microstock site! Sad!

Take a look, your image is on The Guardian.

Alamy.com / How to photograph: Food
« on: April 23, 2021, 17:13 »
I wonder how many photos are there about food photography, Alamy for example gives some tips for shooting food photography. It's worth to take photos about food photography, knowing there are millions ? Probably some rare food are not shooting yet.
This the Alamy tips Web page.  :)

How can I cancel my subscription so it doesn't renew after a year? When I paid my first annual subscription it said in the terms and conditions that you can cancel your yearly membership fee at any time, but now I can't find where to do that. Do I have to close my credit card because of this? I hate these kinds of fees, which are secretly renewed after a year.
What do you get when you are premium membership? I ask you, because i don't have it. It is worth?

Honest answer, it depends. I was free account for years, and had two sales. November of 2020 I went pay and the account paid for itself in a month or two.

No way for me to know what's going to sell or not. I'm surprised at what does, just as much as what doesn't. I have someone who wanted to buy some prints. I uploaded the photos to FAA, they can pick the prints, size, style and anything. I do nothing but collect the percentage. (or in truth, FAA doesn't do much except have one of their vendors, fill and ship the order?)

Basic advantages. Personal website, that links to Pixels marketplace.  https://pete-klinger.pixels.com/  they make all kinds of products, this isn't just prints.

Shopping cart widget for your own website if you have one. ** The other advantage is, you aren't limited to the free 25 images. **

Not sure if there are any other real benefits, just those three. People claim that paid accounts get better search placement?

So if you want to upload 200 images, or if you want to promote your own free personalized link, or if you have a website and want to feature your own images. That's nice. $30 a year. Some people like it, some people have found they don't.

My answer is, spend the $30 and see. Just remember (like the person who started this) you need to remove your CC data or it will auto renew. Maybe if anyone tries the site, you might want to sign up and then immediately remove the CC data. I wonder if FAA will write you at renewal time?

Anyway, when your paid premium account goes free again, you'll have 25 images again.

NOT FOR MICROSTOCK STYLE IMAGES.
Thanks!

Funny how things work sometimes, but just tonight (a Saturday night), I got an email notice of a 60% royalty payment from Pond 5 for one of my exclusive videos there.

That one payment is more than I've been getting from Adobe Stock in a couple of months.

So, hey, that quickly improved my attitude toward microstock. A lot!  :D
Congratulations!  :)

Hi Alexander,

I just opened my account today, so I can't say whether it's worth it to pay for a membership. But at least I can upload more than 25 photos to my portfolio.  :)
Ok, thanks! :) I have an account there, but not premium, i have had two sell, i'm registered in Fine Art America on November 2020. Some people here suggest to me that website, i appreciate that.

Well, if in the last time, i can't buy new photography gear, now i will never buy. I will continue with my old cameras, Canon XT and Canon 60D until they broke or i sell them. Also to my old speedlights, i hope they keep working a lot :(
