Missing iSyndica

Dave Navarro — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 10:46:47 +0000

I feel like a drug addict going through withdrawal. It’s not so much that I miss the ability to upload once and “syndicate everywhere” (I do miss that), more it’s a matter of missing the analytics. Being able to log in every single day to check my sales stats not only helped me to [...]

R.I.P. iSyndica, you will be missed

Dave Navarro — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 23:50:12 +0000

It is a with a heavy heart that I read the news today about the passing of the much beloved iSyndica. A tireless worker, iSyndica would spread my great cheer to many MicroStock sites without prejudice and generally with much expediency. As our relationship grew, iSyndica did more and more for me… Adding meta-data [...]

Mid June Update

Dave Navarro — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:18:53 +0000

Well, a little after mid-June, but better late than never…

The “summer slump” has officially arrived and sales are down all over the place. I’ve had zero sales at ClipCanvas and MediaStock this month. ShutterStock sales are down 80% from last month. And Pond5 sales are down nearly 30% from last month. The only [...]

(WordPress is having issues with the post title, not sure why… but this is the April 2010 report, not March.)

April is a mixed month with overall sales down about 9%, but a new Best Month Ever (BME) at both Pond5 and ShutterStock. ShutterStock was the surprise for me with 7 sales (8 actually, [...]

Dave Navarro — Sat, 01 May 2010 17:14:33 +0000

April was a big month in MicroStock with lots going on at many sites… plus the NAB convention in Las Vegas. Lots of web site updates and a number of problems as well.

Pond5 gave away $25,000 in April… although not to one person, and not in cash. They gave away $500 a day [...]

Busy, busy, busy…

Dave Navarro — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 11:14:54 +0000

It’s been a very busy month for me. I lost my primary income, so my sole source of income (for the moment) is now MicroStock and I’m not making nearly enough to cover all my bills. I am managing to pick up a contract job now and again, but not enough. So it’s a [...]

Stock Footage News — January 2010

Dave Navarro — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 23:38:25 +0000

As is pretty typical this time of year, most of the stock agencies are behind in reviews… some more than others. Over the Christmas and New Years holidays reviews slow to a trickle and fall behind. It usually takes most agencies about a month to catch up. As of January 25th RevoStock is a [...]
