Veer Market Place has been very quiet lately. I have had no sales and few views for a while. My new submissions have been pending for 10 days. Does anyone have an explanation?

disorderly · « **Reply #1 on:** November 30, 2009, 19:39 »

My last submissions took a little longer to review, which I attributed to the Thanksgiving holiday. Views look okay; sales have vanished. Between the lack of revenue and my lousy acceptance rate, I don't think I'll give Veer much attention.

epantha · « **Reply #2 on:** November 30, 2009, 20:32 »

Sales slowed down quite a bit this month. Hope it is a temporary situation caused by end of year and holidays. $:-\$

Very, very quiet for me too, almost dead.

cathyslife · « **Reply #4 on:** December 01, 2009, 08:27 »

I have only had 3 sales there since August. I am trying to get my account closed as we speak.

sharpshot · « **Reply #5 on:** December 01, 2009, 08:39 »

Sales were OK last month, I don't expect them to suddenly rival the big sites, it will take time. Compared to all the other new sites I have tried, they are doing well. I expect more from them because they have the Corbis connection but we will have to see if they really want to push microstock.

I see two very pronounced periods of activity in my Veer views+sales chart. It suggests that Veer did some kind of promotion that generated bursts of views and sales that lasted 3 or 4 weeks then died. My big sales happened between mid Aug - mid Sept, then again from mid Oct - mid Nov. Veer has been completely dead for me in both views and sales for the past two to three weeks. Do your stats match up with this?

If this theory holds true, that we generated sales during a period of heavy promotion only to see everything vanish when marketing activity ended, Veer will have a very tough road ahead. To succeed, they'll have to sink a sizable investment into consistent advertising and get market share from the big players.

PixelBitch · « **Reply #7 on:** December 01, 2009, 11:11 »

This is exactly what I am finding...no sales since mid November...quite a few views though.

Also finding the the average sale on Veer is the highest I'm getting on any site so far...higher than iStock.

Yes, pretty dead for me to. Only the occasional view and even rarer sales.

I am not giving up on them yet. Figure I will give them a year or so to get their footing.

I have the worst rejection rate there of anyplace though.

Looking at the regular Veer site I see that they have better images on micro than regular RF in many cases...I think they will be a winner if we all stay with it.

After I raised the concerns, suddenly a sale was reported. Images from almost two weeks ago are still pending.

Stu99 · « **Reply #11 on:** December 01, 2009, 17:15 »

My steady stream of sales suddenly stopped on Nov 15th, seems odd. But there again who can predict the regular ebb and flow of a new micro. As far as I am concerned it is still early days and will continue to submit.

The weirdest thing is that I just got same kind of sales as you. 3.50 + 17.50 + 35.00 = $56

From Veer website:

When will I be paid?
The minimum threshold for payout is $100.00. Royalties will accrue until you surpass $100. If you don’t happen to hit $100 during the year, you’ll automatically receive payout of any accrued royalties after the close of the calendar year.

You will be paid 15 days following the month your accrued royalties surpass $100. So if you made $50 in March, and $75 in April, you will be paid $125 by May 15th. If you made $105 during the month of June, you would receive payment on July 15th.

Yesterday was a record day at VMP. I earned more from them in a day than I normally do at the other Micro's in a week!
Ryan is very quick to respond to any question i have too.
Submissions take a while to be reviewed and can get a lot rejected.

In general I am happy I have stayed with them.

Anyone else notice a burst of sales at Veer? After about a month of little to no activity, I saw a big spike in sales for the past two days. This is now the third significant spike for me since Veer's launch... wondering if these are tied to promotional pushes on Veer's part.

Also, is anyone else having to log in nearly every single time you pull up your Dashboard? I've had to do this ever since the security lapse this past weekend.

sharpshot · « **Reply #23 on:** December 17, 2009, 07:07 »

No sales spike for me, very slow this month. Not had any problems logging in either.

cathyslife · « **Reply #24 on:** December 17, 2009, 07:48 »

I've made three sales in 4 months, so I pulled my photos. My reject rate was almost the same as my accept rate. I just don't think they're buying what I'm selling, on Veer anyway. Other sites seem to be holding their own.

i think they have one of the most fair payout methods around - paying out everything at the end of the year, even if it is a couple dollars.

NitorPhoto · « **Reply #26 on:** December 17, 2009, 09:46 »

They need to offer what others are offering. I mean the same amount (or at least a comparable number) of images in order to catch the attention of buyers. There is no way I'll upload 10k images without having a proof they will sell. And I am sure I am not alone. And because photographers do not upload they do not have customers and they can't prove decent sales.

In my opinion they should motivate photographers to give them more images and give it now. This should be the first logical step. If they are a strong player with a giant behind them they should have to spend a lot of money to build up their collection first. They should pay upload fee to photographers or at least offer them in-house upload from DVDs. Well, I asked them about this second option... no answer.

sharpshot · « **Reply #27 on:** December 17, 2009, 11:12 »

I don't mind uploading there because it is reasonably easy and they do have sales. They already have all the images they selected from snap village and judging by the review times, they are getting lots of new uploads.

I do wish they would let us know what they are doing to attract buyers to the site. The other sites all seem to be bragging about the amount they are going to spend on marketing next year, Veer will have to do more than they are. I still have doubts that they are really serious about microstock.

I sold more images with a smaller portfolio at Snapvillage than now with Veer MP.

A total dud.

Artemis · « **Reply #30 on:** December 17, 2009, 19:08 »

I'm pretty happy with them...i have a tinytiny portfolio there (55 pics), only had 2 rejections and have a download more or less every other day (not counting the serious down in sales the first half of november) usually between $1-3 range...
Not so spectacular, definitely compared to SS and iS, but still better than DT for me (with 227 pics).
I like them so far and am going to upload the rest of my portfolio as soon as i find time.

etienjones · « **Reply #31 on:** December 18, 2009, 07:01 »

At least for me the problem shows in this graph (245 images online), I have had some downloads but those numbers are also going down. I guess the number of online files are growing.

Strange? I don't think so. They didn't promote it, they entered at a time when there was already a glut of microstock companies on the market and the niche they are feeding is very specific (ad agencies, high end advertising.)

In my opinion, unless a company has a ton of money behind them and is going to go after the Getty/istock micro market with something new and different (meaning lower prices, better commissions for photographers, etc.), I don't see how they can be successful in today's economy. I sound pretty pessimistic, don't I.

seriously, i think we all gave VeerMP a little too much benefit of the doubt, because of the older senior .

You have a very low acceptance rate everywhere, so your situation with Veer is quite logical.
For example it is really very easy to get acceptance on BS or StockXpert above 95%

that said, it is also very easy to get a high acceptance ratio with VMP,
give them all that is not on the Big 6,
or give them your new images first before they come on the Big 6.
it works for me.

but as someone pointed out, VMP seems like they are simply doing no promo
and riding on the coat-tail of their daddy site, so in 2010 they are not getting anymore new images from moi.

It is all relative. Can anyone see another site launched last year that is doing better than VeerMP? They are in the "up and coming" section of the poll here, that is amazing for a relatively new site. I don't know if they have started marketing the site seriously yet and how ambitious they are but with Corbis behind them, I will keep uploading. Not had any big problems with rejections yet. Some reviewers are stricter than others but that is the same with most sites. I upload small batches and most of them are being accepted. They have their quirks but overall I think they are doing much better than SV so far. If they do get aggressive with marketing and Corbis really is interested in microstock, they could be in the top 4 sites by the end of 2010.

Yeah but it shouldn't be 1/10th the acceptance rate of that of Istock with 1% of the revenue

I just had the fun of experiencing this for the first time.

20 of 23 rejected (excuse me, "failed"). Only one was not what they were looking for. The rest were all due to technical problems, especially blur / focus, with pixel quality issues being second most common. I guess my 5DII just doesn't cut it anymore. At least it's still good enough for iStock, though.

That's the last Veer will get from me, unless things change. It's just SO not worth it.

Do not feel sorry I just got 100% rejected. Mostly old stuff already selling on other sites so it could not be that bad :-) As in old saying it's theirs circus and theirs animals, they can do whatever they want :-)

I used to have acceptance rate ~80% at Veer last year until December.
Submission during last month, ~60 pictures in 2 or 3 batches - 100% rejects.

From a marketing perspective - you all are correct, we've barely begun and there hasn't been much at all. This will change later this year.
While I know it looks like we are quiet now - I can tell you we are working hard behind the scenes on some great stuff. And that 2010 is going to be a big year.
We'll definitely give our contributors a heads-up on marketing and traffic generating initiatives as things get rolling.

maybe it was the Xmas hired help and not the regular reviewers who massacred your batch.
(whisper... Atilla and her children, perharps? )

no, seriously, i think ithe site design that is not so user friendly could play a part in Veers trouble to take off as they hoped. many times i still needed to fart around looking for the link to get to where i want to be.

i wish all sites take a lesson from IS , as they have to be the most user friendly site.

i find it is just the new sites that tend to design the most complicated navigating sites .
maybe all those video game nerds are getting the contracts to design these new stock sites

Based on the delay structure, I would assume we could expect our 2009 payments to be distributed by January 15. I hadn't remembered seeing that, so that is a nice surprise and I'll look forward to it.

Yeh I'm pretty sure they messed mine up as well. I live in Canada and am pretty I filled in a W-8BEN form. They too deducted withholding tax. I too never had problems before. What is going on with the micro industry lately regarding the with holding taxes any way? So much stumbling around.

Yup, just got my payment notification as well $1.75 (no tax deductions). Hope to buy a small bar of chocolate tomorow

Seriously, all due respect to Corbis for paying out any earnings at the end of the year, regardless of the amount. They always did this at Snapvillage as well. It's an example to other sites that just hang on to the money earned. Regards, David.

For me it was $11.55 with no withholding tax deducted. As an American living in Germany that is correct. Happy they got it right.

$49.85 here and nothing withheld. I'll be happy to get it, and will try not to think too much about how long it took to accrue.

Did you submit the W-9 form on their site?

I also got my payment advice, no deductions made. US resident with SSN here.

I am in the US and don't show any taxes being withheld.

Goldenangel is right, you should probably fill out the W-9 if you haven't already.

Also go the Payment Advice Note.

Does anyone know where they are sending the money? A cheque? Or Paypal/MoneyBroker?

====i find it is just the new sites that tend to design the most complicated navigating sites .
maybe all those video game nerds are getting the contracts to design these new stock sites

i've been noticing this across the board lately - sites tossing out slick new websites but not bothering to beta test them thoroughly with actual users

I filled out the form before and they have witheld taxes @ 5% on US sales
I think that is correct for tax treaty between Australia and US.

I looked on my details and there was a button to "redo" tax forms.
Is that for if I want to change some details or do we have to redo it every calender year ?

I like that they pay out whatever amount left over at the end of the year. Very fair.

I don't like that I haven't got a single view in 1 month with a portfolio of around 250 photos.
