Newbie Discussion / Re: Resolution, to begin with

I can't speak for other sites but on Shutterstock, many contributors say that video sales are pretty rare. Generally, photos sell much more frequently. Though there is one contributor on SS who is the rare exception - he sells videos quite regularly - more so than photos. He does so well that he doesn't even bother submitting photos anymore. I looked at his video port and I have to say it's a really high standard. A lot of his videos look like TV commercials.

Some contributors on the forum over on Shutterstock are saying that SS are testing a new subscription package where contributors will receive 5c per image. This is outrageous. It takes long enough to accumulate a decent amount of money with regular subscription prices. With just over 100 images on SS, I made $16.81 and it took a long time just to make that much. But 5c a photo? What a joke. The scary thing is that other stock sites might copy SS and offer their own super low subscription prices.

General - Top Sites / Re: Fotolia no sales

I only just started submitting to Fotolia myself. After about a day or so following my initial uploads, I made my first sale there. Since then, sales have been very slow but to be fair, I only have an extremely small portfolio on that site. Ive now accumulated 38 photos in my Fotolia port and made a total of 4 sales. I also submit my work to Shutterstock, iStockphoto and Dreamstime and I currently have over 100 photos on each of those sites (so still a very small amount of images.) Also just started submitting videos to SS.
