People who make that kind of money on SS, would they care about or need a 2 cent raise? Seems a bit underwhelming. Say you make $5000 on SS per month, and RPD of 1$, that means you have 5000 downloads, get a 2 cent raise, and you make 5100$ per month. Make that 5200$ including the ODDs which would go up as well.

yep but if we think that way we would be happy getting 36 instead of 38

My comment was not pointed at us mortals. For me a 2 cent raise makes a difference indeed. I was merely referring to people that make 5000 dollar per month and wondering if a 2 cent raise wouldn't be underwhelming for them. I am thinking they would need a bigger raise to keep them motivated.

how can it make a difference to you when you have said a few days ago that you make 60k a year, if I had that type of income outside microstock I would leave, like 5 years ago

"better in our pocket than theirs"

no doubt!

a raise in any agency would be a major move but it looks like they don't really want to do such or don't need to motivate us even further

actually if we think closely the agencies doing poorly should be the ones giving incentives, the others like SS we are already "happy"

Indeed, so they hve no incentive to improve their incentives.
Wonder what would happen if they became a monopoly, as many people seem to desire.
Another cliché: "Be careful what you wish for".

I don't really wish that once I don't really trust 100% all agencies I contribute too, sometimes I wonder if I trust any of them, in the end the totals speak for themselves but it doesn't mean its all good...

You slacker, that took 8 months, what is wrong with you?

Seriously - WOW - glad to see an indie "newbie" can be so successful.

Some newbie!!

Depending on the ratio of subscriptions to everything else, you should see some nice income increases - it's impossible to tell with the SODs but I'm guessing that they, like the ODs pay out at a higher rate.

It's time to get more of your older Christmas stuff up there
