What is wrong with the business concept of SS IS FT?

The leading agencies of today weren't late to the game, unlike you. If you don't offer something new, customers will stick to what they're familiar with

Additional you would keep all earnings. Isn`t this you all complain about every day.

100% of zero is still zero.
And how are you going to keep the site going without income?

Never said you need to spend any cent for marketing. Millions? Who is talking about millions of dollars? Welcome to 2016. So many ways starting with social media to attract customers. If we would have a contributor made agency this would be a nice way to attract many people.

It's not that easy. You can't rely on that marketing 'strategy' alone.

Who is buying your images? Yes people working in marketing/ design. If you offer them the same content and let them know we are "fair trade for contributors" we made the first good point. The customers are mostly design related people too. Community based content is the most favorite one.

Fair trade is of no benefit to the customer. Maybe one or two altruistic designers may give your agency a shot, but most clients will look further for a cheap subscription deal.

Asked for your wishes and ideas not for you money or time. So blabla. Iam bored already.  I will come back with a ready-to-go solution maybe in a half year. Mabye more/ other people are ready to join then.  Thank you and good night 

My wish is that you come up with a decent business plan before I spent time helping you with free advice on how to start an agency. But if you're bored already, maybe this isn't the way to go for you.

What I don`t get is why the PP defenders and fanboys always get so hysterical and emotional.

I mean, what happened happend, what is public is public, what is proven is just there. Soooo....apart from getting emotional: for some, suddenly all the admitted practices, settled lawsuits, testimonials etc. are invalid, disappear overnight, are all soooo justified etc. and everybody coming here posting warnings and problems is bad boy, liar, stole images etc. Paypal obviously is always right lol Denial of truth can be convenient.....

However, as I said in one of my previous posts in this thread: if it works for you just continue happily using it! and just keep the warnings in mind in case it affects you one day! And if not: congrats!

So, just relax guys! If it works for you just go ahead, but please do not discredit and insult those who have trouble with them without causing it or doing wrong....

Some MSG members are maybe hidden workers. For example there was a guy working for Fotolia here at MSG.
I agree. let`s sum up. Keep the warning in your mind, PayPal or FT dont give a **** on single user/ contributor and kick you out at any time they want to.
No for real, that`s true Because this i love SS. Never heard similar from SS. Good luck

  for me FT earnings are only around 10% of SS.

Checked my earnings. Since 3 months now my lowest earner. A few low earners outdated DT lol 

daily regular sales. is working fine here.
