Author Topic: StockXpert -- Anyone still actively uploading there? (Read 9156 times)

Things sure have changed there. I havent uploaded there for ages. Thought I'd give it a go, see how it went.
Didn't go too well. Uploaded on Jan 18, just got reveiwed today, 29th { I used to see a review in a matter of hours at StockXpert}. Only sent them 3 pix. All three large sellers on other sites.
All three rejected. I'm no stranger to rejections and 99.9999999% of the time, I couldn't care less about them.
One a shot of a fieldstone bridge in winter. Thanks. Not interested. No problem, I can dig that. No biggie.
However, the second shot was of a dining room table, the third a shot of a brick sidewalk. Both rejected for need of a property release. A property release for a table and a sidewalk??? I know I've been out of action for 9 months, but... what changed?

I have continued uploading there, and manage to get some sales every day. Not what they once were though. Sales have slowed considerably.

I still upload and get an occasional sale.

I still get sales there but mostly are the 30 cent subscription sales. Once in awhile I get a pay per download, but very rare. It'll take awhile before I hit payout there again. The quantity of sales just isn't enough to add up.

I still upload and I still get sales. Mostly subscriptions, but some regular sales. Reviews are quick, most everything I submit is accepted, and I still manage to beat their payment minimum every month. They're fifth for me this month at 8%; not brilliant but not bad given the small incremental effort.

I haven't uploaded for more than half a year and still got payout every couple months. At least I do not have to worry about ridiculous rejections.

I still upload there. I get a payout almost every month.

PixelBitch · « **Reply #7 on:** January 29, 2010, 17:20 »

Only joined a few weeks ago...have had almost 100 percent acceptance...same day reviews and constant sales...although at a low price...am concerned for their future but removal of images if need be are a simple folder deletion away.

I still upload to StockXpert just about every week, review time is not bad, a couple of days top, rejections almost nothing to none, very little SALES! though $:-\$

a.k.a.-tom · « **Reply #9 on:** January 29, 2010, 18:00 »

sounds like I'm in the minority... I rarely had rejections there... these kind of threw me for a loop... and I never waited that long for a review...

How many of you are with IS as well? Think it has anything to do with that?

Today they approved 10/10 to me...

cathyslife · « **Reply #11 on:** January 29, 2010, 18:10 »

I still upload, I still get sales. I got one Jupiter sales on Jan. 1 and the rest have been PPDs, total of 31 in Jan. I also contribute to IS.

250 images. Started about 7 months ago.
Subscriptions opted out at STX.
Opted out at IS.
No rejections.
No sales.
Not good.
I still upload from time to time. Don't know for how long though.

sharpshot · « **Reply #13 on:** January 29, 2010, 18:20 »

I stopped uploading. Not sure what the future of StockXpert will be and I am not wasting time on them after I opted out of subs and my earnings plummeted. If there was news that they were going to continue marketing the site and stop encouraging people to move over to istock, I might be interested again but at the moment it looks like they are just taking money out of the site until they close it.

I still upload, and I still get sales.

elvinstar · « **Reply #15 on:** January 29, 2010, 19:41 »

I just got a payout 3 days ago, so at least they're still making them!

cascoly · « **Reply #16 on:** January 29, 2010, 20:37 »

the only reason i continue to submit is it's easy -- their rejection reasons are some of the worst, and the saless are meager. so i just upl and dont even bother to read the rejection reasons anymore

I still upload there, reviews are quick, no rejections and I get a payout every month.

gbcimages · « **Reply #18 on:** January 30, 2010, 10:54 »

I'm not at IS and don't plan on.

ap · « **Reply #19 on:** January 30, 2010, 16:47 »

there's an angel reviewer at stx, right now, who just approved 10 photos, immediately. i can't guarantee he/she will still be there, for the last time i followed up an immediate approval, my next batch sat for three days and 60% were rejected.

can we say this is the luck of the draw?

10 minutes later...yep, he's gone, my next batch will probably sit for a few more days now.

Same here. Just had a small batch approved before I finished categorizing. :-)

I'm seeing a really nice upswing in sales at StockXpert, after a few months in which they seemed to be really going downhill. I'm now able to request a payment about once a week. Well on the way back to where my sales were last October.

I'm still uploading there and this month they are giving DT a run for their money - for that matter, so is 123RF - but that probably says more about DT than it does say about StockXpert or 123RF

JohnShelley · « **Reply #24 on:** January 31, 2010, 12:52 »

i have stoppped uploading there as i thought they were dead lol...
