Title: The feeling I get when I open the "single & other" tab in my earnings tab
Post by: Brasilnut on July 05, 2017, 06:19
Hey all,

Do you also get a feeling of excitement in anticipation of seeing your "single & other" download in your earnings summary tab. Usually it's only a few nickels above a standard sub but I'm always hoping it's a $80+ download...it feels kinda like playing a scratch card lottery  ;D

No, because I see the total earnings right away.  :)

With my account it sometimes takes a while to factor in :)

over a year for me, the Alamy lottery is a lot more fun. (although the monthly total from SS usually beats it)

To me Alamy is like winning a lottery and waiting months to get paid... :o

Sometimes, many months. I wish they would change that to pay at the time of use. I finally got one from last year to clear, now I have a bunch from this year, unpaid.

I know what you mean, but it is a USP for Alamy (compared to the micros) which suits certain buyers.

It seems that the under dollar Single is the new "On Demand" :p
$0.59 instead of $2.85, glorious microstock times.

Not anymore. They have conditioned me to not care any longer.
