Hi,
Soon I'll spend few weeks in China. I hope to take a lot of photos, including people shots. I take models releases in english but I thing that chinese MR-PR can help to explain (to non english speaking people) how it works. Do you have an idea if chinese MR exist somewhere ?
Thanks

For 10 weeks photographers are not reimbursed for XL sales (payed only $0.30) at StockXpert. For 6 weeks same photos.com an JIU+ sales seem to be lost for contributors (and not for agency). Portfolios opted-out from subscription program are still avaible at Photos.com. The "bug" struck everywhere.
I know enough about programming to say that even the worst programmer in the world doesn't need so long to fix these issues. I think they never counted pay us.

I've just found it at Istock forum. Istock admin Joyze said: "When we find fraudulent purchases, we do a refund back to the credit card so that the original owner of the card doesn't have to pay for the purchase. If the person who made the fraudulent purchase then uses the credits to download files, we do not remove the royalties you've earned from that download. iStock takes that one for the team! I believe that is the compensation that sjlocke is speaking of."http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=74099&page=1Istock is only one "gentelman" site ? Why Fotolia, Dreamstime and Bigstock... don't do it.

I'm very surprised to see 123rf doing so well in earnings pool results. The score of 4.2 means for me that average photographer earns about 60% of SS or 70% of IS at 123rf!
It's not my case. In july 08 I got more at IS than in 26 months at 123rf! Am I only one unlucky person at 123 ?
Poll :
Let's say your best earner (usually SS or IS) is 100%. What part of this money you get (at the year) at 123 ?
Example:
Your IS earnings = 2000$ and 123rf earnings = 200$ -----> 200/2000 = 10%

Things probably won't change at StockXpert so I'll remove my portfolio.  I hesitate to reupload my images back to them, but only at 800x600 size. My question : is 800x600 px size enough small to prevent EL usage. Any EL's buyers here ? Thanks.

Do you know Albumo's email adress ? I want to write them, but without using their contact form.
Thanks

My RPD is still falling down here. Worst in 24 month! Number of subscriptions is very worrying. DT subscription payout is the lowest of all sites I'm in. They promised rising in the middle of july but now Achilles gave new date :
"Let's schedule it for the next alignment of all planets. Wait, that will be never. What do you say about "just" Mars, Venus and Saturn?"
Good thing they respond, bad thing we have to wait long time.
DT's business model is based on astrology. Why not ? After alliance random payouts everything is possible.

3-4 moths ago I became exclusif videographer at IS. I was thinking that exclusive's treatment was better but probably I was wrong. Review time ist very very long and same for exclusives and non-exclusives. I have still less then 250 DL and don't get extra money. One positive thing, sales are still ok but not better than before beeing exclusive. If they don't (quickly) improve the review time I'll become non-exclusive.

I noted that majority of best ranked photographs upload very few or nothing since the subscription program started at Fotolia. Exemple Yuri Arcurs and Galina Barskaya didn't uplod for one month. I don't like Fotolia anymore, maybe am I not alone ?

Josh from Crestock said two months ago :
'Pricing models will always be under constant review, so its more a question of when we can change prices and commissions, rather than if we can. Luckily, we have a great team of professionals who are much more savvy at watching trends and knowing how to crunch numbers, leaves the rest of us to taking care of photos.
Having said that, feel free to keep discussing the matter, the future of Crestock belongs as much to the contributing photographers as to anyone else.

Crestock's forum is turned off so I post my question here. When and how Crestock's subscription prices will change ?
Thanks

My regular sales decrease and I have more and more subscriptions sales at DT. What about yours ?

My earnings decrease every month but downloads are steady. I have more and more subscriptions sales at DT and almost all in maximum size. Just curious what size you sell generally for $0.21-0.30.

Have you tried AlamyMeasure new tool ? I found it very interesting. It'll be nice to have this kind of analyse at all microstock sites.
BTW my CRT is 3.3%

I've checked my referral credits and something is wrong here. My "total revenue from affiliation" ("Affiliation Credits" tag) is different from a sum of total revenues off all my affiliates ("My Affiliates" tag).
