Opted in beginning this year for photos.com and JI on StockXpert.
After two months not a single picture per download from those two sites only subs.
Is it worth staying opted in.?..

Your thoughts.

I have had 4 ppds so far at photos.com: 1 X $21 and 2 X $3 and 1X $1.5.

I do not know if is worth it. I have the feeling, I get less ppd at StockXpert , becuase I am opt in for subs.
I just calculated the average earnings /dl for jupiterimages and photos.com together. For me its  $ 0,4.
Just for the sake of comparision:
At SS the average per download earnings is much higher with $ 0.59/dl.

I think I had a couple of $1.5 ppd with photos.com.  That is very disappointing.  I get loads of subs sales but I still don't like just 30 cents commission.  They need to raise it or bring in higher tiers, like SS have done.  If it stays at 30 cents, I might opt out.

I've had a couple, but that's not enough to make up for the loss of income generated by the subscriptions.

Only subs for me. A real "hack" from my experience. I still can't believe I sell extended licence at a ridicule 0.30$. I stay opt-in because If not, the files popularity can go down without all the photos.com and JIU sales.
