Did you get a jar of Vaseline with that email?
Ouch! Seems that all is not well in the land of $1 images. Seems that the $1 image companies aren’t making quite as much profit as they want to and are making “some changes”.
First off microstock GrandDaddy istockphoto have decided to…erm….do some “housekeeping”. See the email they just sent out to selected contributors. .
This is hot on the heels of some more than unwelcome announcements by Fotolia which seem to increase image prices but reduce contributors earnings and also change the way exclusive images are paid out. See the fallout discussed here
Heads up to http://www.stockphototalk.com for the lead!
As if it wasn’t bad enough that you had to sell your work for peanuts, now you’re all are being asked to bend over and… well….I’ll let you imagine.
Lube up boys….
