It took DT and other microstock agencies a few years to start using facebook for promotion. Why do you start doing it with pinterest so soon? Even the investors agree that there are copyright issues that need to address, why does DT endorse them before that?I would also like to know if facebook and other social media promotion is efficient or not through a well supported raport and making abstraction of each user promoting themselves. I did not notice a surge of income since DT (and other microstock agencies) started promoting through these means.In any case I think the topic covered by this thread is important and should be treathed as such.Bogdan posted in I do not want my images shareable on sites like Pinterest.

My sales this month do not look good. Only about half as I would expect for this month so far. I do not know what the reason might be: the price change or the modifications brought to the search functions. From the above posts one might think that a boost was given to exclusive contributors in the search placement.I hope this is a temporary glitch, as if it continues like this DT will soon become my lowerst earner.Bogdan posted in Levels update (2012 levels)

I do not know what exacly to make about this change. Seems to me like a well taught royalty cut for non-exclusive contributors. Not a big difference, but none-the-less a royalty cut.I understand that DT needs to compete with other agencies paying lower commisions. What I do not like is that they achieve this by cutting commisions from the photographers or increasing the prices for customers. This is the second royalty cut in the last years and (I think) the third price increase. I have to agree that all of these moves have been well taught without noticing a drop of income. I thrust therefore DT that they know what they are doing.Looking to the competition, I think DT needs a face-lift. A new and modern interface, although the functionality of the current one deserves to be preserved. I hope the potential increase in DT's revenue through this last move will be used in this direction.Myself, and I believe many other non-exclusive contributors, would like to stop working with other agencies which pay lower comissions. However, the income generated by DT for the contributors has to increase. I hope this moved will generate the 10-15% increase that Serban in mentioning, and thus attract more of us.Bogdan posted in Levels update (2012 levels)
