Your lifetime earning center page in big bold and your current monthly unpaid earnings top right in small font. this wasn't a mistake.

Anyone know how long the review turnaround is these days at 123RF? I uploaded over 2 weeks ago and still nothing.

Thank you very much!

Same here, it is one of my worst months since I joined P5 many years ago, and the fact that the world economy seems to be going down the toilet I suppose isn't helping.

This question is for video but I guess it could apply to photos as well.

I am considering going exclusive, how long should you wait in order to make content exclusive after deleting the same content on another agency. Should I contact each agency for clarification or is there a general waiting period in order for the content to be removed from each site and their servers?

Thanks.

They're having another town hall meeting on October 8th, might be a good time to see if they can address our concerns.

Another terrible month for me, although strangely enough my best sellers are still on the 1st page of results and also near the top. But all of mine and other contributors videos are below the person who sells their HD videos of a similar quality for $25, and there is me who had to increase my price in order to compensate for the drop in commission.

IMO there should be a minimum cap for HD video from $40 - $50 , that way pricing is more equal and more revenue for P5 which is what they seem to be focusing on these days.

I only work with full HD. Within Media Encoder both target and max sliders only go up to 50 Mb/s so I guess i'll have to play around with both codecs to see what works best.

Thanks.

Pretty much normal. This month looks like it could be the best of the year... they always do though. Give it a couple of weeks!

I'm curious as to know if your volume was pretty much the same as previous months and did you go exclusive with some videos?

Thanks.

I've got to admit this knocked the wind out of me, even though I was mentally prepared for this day since the announcement I still get a nauseating feeling every time I think about it partly because they have always been a fair commission stock media site for nearly a decade.

And over the years they have steadily grown their business, expanded, entered new markets, released new product lines (images, AE templates etc), continually updated their website and all this while maintaining a 50% commission, so what gives? New blood in the ranks looking for world domination?

Not sure if I will compensate by raising prices which obviously needs no mention that P5 has already thought that one though and expects to gain (except our customers of course).

All the aboard the race to the bottom train, next stop 35%.

Are there any traditional stock agencies that pay in cryptocurrency? I'd be happier to experiment receiving some earnings in a small cap cryptocurrency than deal with paypal.

Where does one opt out of this?

I know everyone has beef with istock and I do too and for good reason however I'll be honest and say that it's actually a bit difficult, terminating my account there feels like breaking up with a girlfriend in a long term relationship that's been going sour for quite some time, you know you should break it off but you have so much history together something is stopping you from doing it when you should have left a long time ago.

In terms of pure earnings videoblocks can at least match istock? are the sales constant or do they vary month on month? I ask this again as I was reading an old thread here about videoblocks and there were quite a few mixed opinions.

If in the future things were to improve over at istock can you reapply after previously terminating an account? if so how long is the cool off period?

Thanks
