I put a number of photos on Deposit Photos a couple of years ago and have been making about $20-$30 a month since. I haven't uploaded anything there in a couple of years.
However, last month I had one day where I made $61 all from on demand sales. Great, but I figured it was a one off thing, I just checked my numbers for July and in July I had one day with $125 in on demand sales. Apart from these two days, every day in June and July has been a buck or two as normal. Anyone know what is happening to get me these big days, and if there is anything I can do to get more of them?
First off - Congrats! I hope these are not fraudulent purchases and they return them on you. It happen to a me a few times- big days only to be returned.
In the past they had a glitch like this where full payment was made by mistake into the account of the artist. It was one of the ways we found out that we were getting royally hosed by them. Once they reversed the royalties it was mostly a sub, but the image actually sold for a rate like you are seeing. So like $60, then adjusted you got 30 cents and they kept $59.70. I am not saying that this is the case but I would bet not trust that until you have the money in your bank.

...In your pocket, not in the bank!!! here we don't even trust the banks holding our money!!!
Well I just put in the request to withdraw the earnings so will see if they show up in my Paypal account in two weeks.
I did some more digging into the stats and it was one photo that was sold on demand many times during those days. Some website or email list must have linked to that photo to drive all the traffic and purchases but I don't think I will ever find out why, just hope it happens again.
With 30 photos for $29 why would anyone use On Demand at all? Hope it's real.
Has anyone here ever had the free photo of the week on DP? Do they pay for a huge number of subs, since we aren't free? That could be nice.
Isn't on demand one credit all sizes and vector anyway?
Ask the OP but does that mean somebody downloaded 500 OD files to make that $125? Sounds fishy to me. I don't like and don't trust DP. The same people that run it, also run a free photo site.
To close the loop on this, I just received my payment into Paypal today so seems like it is real and not a scam, hopefully will happen a couple more times before my luck runs out.
Couldn't agree more! They are the biggest cheaters iStock is a good company compared to them!

Home » What Price Translation?
Some of the biggest companies in the world have managed to satisfy a significant part of their translation needs by using volunteers. Two of the best-known examples are Google and Facebook. Both of these internet behemoths started out as an English-only platform. They understood that in order to succeed internationally they would need to have their products translated into different languages and engaged their users to do so.
It may seem tempting to assume that they did so for reasons of economy. In the case of Google Translate, that factor may indeed come into play. While Google has the deep pockets required to bankroll a free service of that nature, it's questionable as to whether it would choose to do so. In the case of the user interfaces, however, both companies had more than enough cash to finance professional translation. Indeed, rather than just hiring a German translator, they could both have simply bought an entire German translation service. They would both have understood that amateur translators were more likely to produce translations with errors than a professional German translator in Adelaide. Why then would they expose themselves to this possibility?
The answer is almost certainly as a way of engaging users both old and new. Users were encouraged to make Google and Facebook their own, in a very literal sense, by making the interface a part of their own language. Facebook in particular turned the translation project into a very social activity. What is, however, worth noting, is what Google and Facebook did not let these amateur translators do. In short, they did not let them do anything which would have had legal and/or reputational significance for the companies. It seems safe to assume that if either of these global companies need significant company documents translated, they will employ a professional.


As I've said many times before, the fraternity of Freemasonry provides Masons with the unique opportunity to meet people they normally would have never had the chance to meet otherwise. I heard a story yesterday I thought I'd share.
Yesterday, a friend and Brother of mine Jerry Agles, a Past Master of Morton Lodge No. 352 told me that Brother Phil Jackson was leaving the USA and going home to New Zealand. I met Phil just over a year ago in Pekin, and we had a great conversation over dinner. He's an unforgettable character, and I can see why his friend are so sorry to see him go home. He's made a lot of friends in the past three years, and has been an active member of the lodge.
The funny part of this story was the Jerry told Phil he couldn't leave until he'd "replaced himself" in the lodge by presenting the lodge with a petition for a new member. Something we should all do, every year. Well, Phil presented the lodge with a petition for a young man he knew from his church, and work has begun to raise this young man a Master Mason. So Phil Jackson has fulfilled the requirement placed on him by Jerry Agles of replacing himself.
So Phil, I'm sorry to say, I guess you're free to leave the country now... we'll all miss you, and best of luck to you and your family in New Zealand. Keep in touch, Brother Jackson.

Pfizer pulls TV ads with heart expert Jarvik
Lisa Richwine
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc said on Monday it was pulling television advertisements for its Lipitor cholesterol drug featuring Dr. Robert Jarvik, inventor of the Jarvik artificial heart, because they created "misimpressions."
The ads involving Jarvik had come under scrutiny from a U.S. House of Representative committee as part of an investigation into celebrity endorsements of prescription medicines.
Democratic lawmakers had voiced concern that Jarvik's qualifications were misrepresented in widely seen TV commercials touting the blockbuster drug. They said Jarvik seemed to be dispensing medical advice even though he is not a practicing physician.
The commercials, which portray Jarvik in various outdoor activities, also raised eyebrows after news reports that a stunt double was used in a scene with a man rowing across a lake.
On his company's Web site, Jarvik describes himself as a medical scientist who has worked in the field of artificial hearts for 36 years and does not practice clinical medicine or treat individual patients.
Pfizer, the world's largest drugmaker, said it was withdrawing the Jarvik ads voluntarily.
"The way in which we presented Dr. Jarvik in these ads has, unfortunately, led to misimpressions and distractions from our primary goal of encouraging patient and physician dialogue on the leading cause of death in the world — cardiovascular disease. We regret this," Ian Read, Pfizer's president of worldwide pharmaceutical operations, said in a statement.
"Going forward, we commit to ensuring there is greater clarity in our advertising regarding the presentation of spokespeople," Read said.
New Lipitor campaigns will be launched in several weeks, Read added.
Lipitor, part of the statin family of cholesterol-lowering medicines, is the world's best-selling prescription drug. Global sales fell 2 percent to $12.7 billion in 2007, hurt by competition from low-cost generic forms of Merck & Co Inc's Zocor.
Lawmakers probing the Jarvik ads praised Pfizer's decision to stop running them.
"We trust that Pfizer is sincere in its commitment to 'greater clarity' in its advertising. My colleagues and I look forward to meeting with Pfizer's management team to discuss their plans related to direct-to-consumer advertising," House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell said in a statement.
Rep. Bart Stupak, who chairs the panel's subcommittee on investigations, said lawmakers still planned to meet with Jarvik and collect and review documents requested as part of the investigation. Dingell and Stupak are both Michigan Democrats.
Officials at Jarvik Heart Inc in New York, where Jarvik serves as president and chief executive, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.
In a statement issued in January, Jarvik said he had the "training, experience and medical knowledge to understand the conclusions of the extensive clinical trials" of Lipitor.
Lipitor is known generically as atorvastatin. Zocor's generic name is simvastatin.

The Ministry of Food campaign is about changing the way we eat. We all need to know how to cook, to make sure our children don't grow up on a diet of processed food – at school or at home – and so they won't have to battle obesity and diet-related illnesses when they grow up. Cooking is one of the most important skills a person can have. It has been proven that families who cook together eat better. A small change in your kitchen could save the life of someone you love. We need to do something now, before it's too late.
Jamie Oliver wants to prove that anyone can learn to cook – that it's fun, cool, can save you money and can help you, your family and friends to live a healthier life. Jamie's Ministry of Food Rotherham re-opened in September 2014, funded by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council.
