This month I've been charged $17 tax on $57 earnings for US sales. I am registered in the UK and have never paid tax on US earnings before. I have submitted the correct tax form. What's going on? Also, why is the tax rate so high, that's like 30% tax!
I've raised a ticket, but has anyone else experienced this?
Hi folks,
I've just received the email about offering up selected images to the Adobe free collection, and wondering how to play it.
Last year I made a few quid (relatively speaking), but since then my sales have increased dramatically. My initial thoughts are that Adobe only offers this as it benefits them more than it does us. However, I can't help thinking of the old adage that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
How are you guys approaching it? Only offering selected images, all, nothing? My initial thoughts are to just offer up everything, as actual income is better than potential income, and even if I lose out on a few pictures, with consistent uploads it's possible to replace any deficit that might occur.
Cheers!
I uploaded some picutres on 12 April. They were subsequently labelled "Data Marketplace". How long did it take for your pictures to move on from the Pending stage?
Many years ago, I learned a lesson about photography that has stayed with me ever since.Sometimes the best place to capture a subject is the last place you would ever think to look.Best Place
Back then, a photographer could actually make a respectable living selling stock images. Better yet, it was an excellent side hustle for someone already working professionally behind the camera. Even after long assignments, I still loved shooting simply for the joy of it.
Today, anyone can download thousands of seagull photos online for free within seconds. But at that time, quality stock photography still had real value, and there was demand for authentic, well-composed images.
One day, a request went out for stock shots of seagulls in flight.
So I grabbed my camera gear and headed straight for the coast. Any excuse to visit Santa Cruz was a good excuse in my book. I had always loved the place. It felt less like work and more like a mini vacation with a camera. I was absolutely certain I would come home with great shots of seagulls soaring dramatically over one of California’s most iconic beaches.
Hi everyone!
I’ve been working on a new tool called MetaBrain.online to solve one of the most tedious parts of our job — keywording and titling stock photos and videos.
I know the niche is pretty crowded, but we wanted to build something that actually feels good to use every day. Here is what makes MetaBrain different:
We are currently in Beta, and I need your brutal, honest feedback to make it better. What sucks about your current tools? What are we missing?
Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
I have decided to rebrand my website a bit. Since i haven’t made any sales on FAA or photo4me sites. I think it’s worth selling on own website.
I have noticed I have photos that have been sitting in pending for almost 6 months. I wonder is it worth it to delete them and resubmit them or will they again be marked as data marketplace? Should I just delete them and take it as a rejection?
I’m facing a lot of rejections for "similar content" on Adobe Stock. Does anyone have advice on how to fix this? For those selling AI-generated content, where do you get your prompts? If you use AI to generate them, what specific instructions or frameworks do you use to ensure the results don't get rejected? I’d really appreciate some guidance.
I am a stock media producer from India, producing since 2018, contributor based model is not generating any revenue. I sold my entire library to one UK based company in perpetuity.
But now i see the AI trend is slowly reducing demand.
Hi! My name is Andrea. I've been doing photography for a little over a year. Here's some of my photos. Any advice?
