Wirestock Art Journey: (Mystery solved!)

-

So ..


Having set up wirestock, and paid that setting up fee for portfolio access for a year and 200 uploads, I thought I was all set for my stock image journey.


Turns out I was wrong.


A customer has come forth to me having purchased the image I was excited about selling recently, and explained that they did not pay $5 for the digital licence / print (which $3.50 seems reasonable commission on) and that wirestock did in fact charge them $30.50.


They are more mortified than I am on the commission I've earned and think I should sell all my stock images via email.


Any other wirestock users here want to talk us through your own personal experiences, because my art journey will be documented in a book and published online and this is an important factor of it.


Thank you.

Wirestock is their official Facebook page.


Below are the images of the portfolio, price settings and the customers transactions. There are two screenshots of the email I have sent to wirestock support regarding this matter.

In all honesty I was under the impression you kept way more commission if you spent the $119 on the portfolio, but I didn't take a screenshot of that as I should have.








Here are the screenshots of the FAQ and selling page:





...and so the journey continues...

Update: I'm a plank!🤣

After some digging it turns out the customer paid for print services so I did sell them the print license for only $5 and got $3.50 commission.

Just waiting to hear back from wirestock now. 
But Mystery Solved!
Yay!

I'm done with Bishop Auckland college:

I got a very unprofessional email (linkedin message) today after promoting the college and resharing several courses I shared this: A colleague had been informed that due to numbers the policing course can't go ahead. (My formal complaint via email is at the bottom of this blog post) So I simply shared a list of their nutritional courses (also helpful) and added if anyone was interested in the level three policing course to enroll asap (based on the information provided we didn't want to lose the course) I received this: I still haven't heard anything official from the college yet and I'm not happy with being told I'm not allowed to share courses to enrol. But to be honest the accusations of misinformation irk me to my core especially without any official correction or context. So I've blocked Adam on LinkedIn and I'm done with Bishop Auckland College now. I am removing myself SO FAST from everyone and everywhere that chooses disrespect over thoughtfulness. ...

Ramside Hall and Northern Housing Consortium:

I am excited to say that the event at Ramside Hall went spectacularly well, I attended with my best friend Corin and we had such a lovely time. I gave a wonderful speech as to how Northern Housing Consortium has helped me spectacularly with a bursary for my start up business www.magnoliaphotography.co.uk and I happily share the quoted speech I gave below:  " As a start-up business, I initially struggled to  meet the demands of contractual work. Creating art by finger painting on my phone screen was time-consuming, imprecise, and physically challenging. This made it difficult to meet my clients' expectations for detail and speed. Living with chronic pain and disabilities only added to these difficulties. When I learned through Livin Futures that Northern Housing Consortium was offering a start-up bursary, I immediately applied for a drawing tablet, hoping it could change the way I work. Receiving the bursary has been truly transformative. With my new drawing tablet, I can now ...

Cheers 😔 see: https://pgpandspd.blogspot.com/2024/06/hacked-stickers-betrayal-and-pride.html I got off the phone to Paul Howarth yesterday, whilst I'm with my son in public in a cafe, the ADM meet didn't go ahead, but we stayed anyway and my son encouraged me to merely enquire about the article and why my image was not printed, Paul stated it was a space issue but I explained he'd spliced images before and how much would it cost to get the photo in the paper so I can feel positively represented by my home town as a Newtonian since his only reason was the article was FREE, anyway he got rude and abruptly stated he does a LOT for ADM and it's ALL FREE and that he feels I'm being REALLY UNFAIR and hung u...
