San Jose/San Francisco CA;
also shoot in NYC/NJ, Las Vegas and SoCal

Now the real question is, of you photographers, how many have received a check?
I have been on there since summer of '08, have 10 sets published and not one dime yet.

Wow. no response.
So I guess I am not the only one.

There was a time when I thought Zivity would be fun and I gave it a good go. I have a few more sets I am planning to submit and I never thought I would get rich from it, but jeez... nearly 2 years and not a dime. I don't think my photography sucks that much.
One of my photos has been on the damn home page since October!

I haven't gotten any decent referrals from it (six zivity models contacted me about shooting sets during the time I have been a member; all of them flaked) and despite several technical 're-dos' of the site design and structure, it's still frustrating to use.

Although there was a time when I was excited about it and even encouraged others to join, at this point I am about over it and done.

I've received a few checks from it, but I don't like spamming my fans/followers to make Zivity money when I run my own member's site and would rather direct traffic there.

I'm interested in talking with you in person about a website that not only verifies the photographers and models are legit, but also does not force people to vote in order for all the members to have fun, win prizes or make money.  If I buy your sets, I pay you a set price right them and there ... no waiting!  I'm building a site like that right now with a limited number of photographers! Sent you a friend request!

What does ZIVITY have to offer that this place doesnt?

They offer pennies to the dollar for votes that you get ... if you're lucky, you'll be able to afford a pizza.  Also I don't think they have male models on there, do they?
