10 images a day

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Finally I decide to streamline my upload workflow. I have been using sitecopy for months but I was always manually picking files for upload before running it. I decided that it takes too much time. Script modifications allow me to run in from task scheduler at 1AM.

1. Pick 10 random files from my ready images (no repetitions from series should happen)
2. Upload with sitecopy to all the sites in the list
3. Move uploaded images to backup location (I am thinking about putting backup on Amazon S3)

In the morning it does not take long to submit 10 images on every site.

May 2009 earnings breakdown

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Basically all my top 5 under performed this month. Some are barely above 50% of last month some are even 30%. On the other hand Fotolia and IStock did better than usual but both are still below 5% of my earnings. Other slow earners like SV or CS did well too. I guess it’s easy to double when you are so low :-)


May May/Apr
SS 50.86% 61.89%
DT 14.66% 32.29%
SXP 13.08% 53.99%
123RF 9.19% 24.46%
FT 4.64% 153.85%
IS 3.78% 159.80%
SV 1.63% 175.00%
CS 1.55% 200.00%
BS 0.39% 25.00%
CSP 0.23% 1.52%
Total 46.64%

MostPhotos

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Just started uploading to new microstock website. The Swedish based picture agency Mostphotos is different than other agencies. There’s no image review process, photos are rated by other contributors. The agency’s website offers free membership and is run and administered by the photographers themselves.  Also interesting new concept is introduced – New Exclusivity – you have the option to sell photos with an exclusive buyout license at a price of your choice.  The buyer isn’t buying the copyright, but contributors are agreeing that there are no other license holders for the photo and that it will not be sold again.
