OK, so as a NON-exclusive I will only ever have images in the lowest price range, is that right? I'll never improve move up food chain or improve my standing in any which way?
Your P+ images, I think will be up one level
Sorry, but what is P+ ? I don't think I have anything with a plus. How does one get that (not that I expect at this rate to ever get anything around here with a plus attached to it...that would probably require SALES).
Thx
Photo+
Thanks Kelvin. That was helpful. Maybe one day I'll consider it. But right now most of my sales are for the Xsmall or whatever so if they don't want to pay more than a buck for something I can't imagine ever getting them to shell out "real" money. If and when I do get a sale I seem to really attract the tightwads.  |
   Posted Fri Jan 18 8:42AM | ^ If you put your best sellers into Photo+, they will make you double even in XS size. Worth considering. |
    Posted Fri Jan 18 11:05AM | I don't know if it is a fluke, but since the price slide values have been announced 9 of my last 20 sales have been Exclusive +. Some buyers are not looking for the cheaper images. |
          Posted Fri Jan 18 11:24AM | it is NOT in affect yet. (it only was for about one day...) |
        Posted Fri Jan 18 11:26AM | Well... Sales are virtually non-existent, search engine is not working, site is slow, our brave Dev Team is fighting with the Dragon, ekhem... "slider" to exclude exclusives from the search. The others are silent because they don't know what to say about their bizzare "deals"...
And while the istock is in his own world, here on the http://www.microstockgroup.com S...stock is giving an offer to iStockphoto Exclusive Artists to quickly join them! Great job Istock/Getty!
I do not know if it is still possible, but it would be nice if you at least try to save this ship. |
    Posted Mon Jan 21 10:48AM | Is "next week", when can we see those new changes? Can you talk now about exclusive content on all the price ranges? |

iStock community,
We've been actively listening to all of your feedback on how we can improve the Price Filter on our Search Results Page. As a result, we are going to delay the release of the new Price Filter. It's still coming soon, just not this week.
Stay tuned, I'll keep you updated!
Kris from the Ecommerce Team

Thank you, Kris.
What are you planning to do about the filter-out Exclusive feature?
|
     Posted Thu Jan 24 11:04AM | Thanks for the update Kris! Much appreciated. |
     Posted Thu Jan 24 11:08AM |
Thanks Kris.
update the last "new" price slider including also Esclusive content (not also dollar-bin) at 1st point of the slider . Please.

Yes... If needed, lower the price for exclusive content to non-exclusive levels (cheaper images = more customers). |
   Posted Thu Jan 24 11:37AM | I actually really like the proposed price slider breakdown - however, I think they need to add a way for exclusives to be able to add files to the Value collection. Do that in combination with the slider change, and I am a happy camper. |
   Posted Thu Jan 24 11:55AM | We have suffered many issues lately, our income from IS has dropped between 50-75% from last august, depending contributors, as you could read in the forums, something "extra" would put a lot of us (me the first), out of business, I mean in bankruptcy and "out of here". Therefore it is very dangerous what you guys are planning, could be the "coup de grace" for exclusivity here.
Please be aware of this. |
      Posted Thu Jan 24 12:06PM | I do think you are trying to help exclusives in this so please don't forget where video is placed! At the current rate I will not be able to stay exclusive which is a shame sine I have been here from the beginning in video. Video is NEVER even mentioned here in seach threads no matter what I say! |
