How do you find dreamstime.
-
I'm finding them a bit more "picky" than Shutterstock as far as accepting photos (last year I would have said the opposite) and quite a bit less in sales. Does that ring true for you>
-
Yeah, I'll say. I think they are pickier than Istock even. I get things rejected there that I get accepted at both istock and shutterstock.. and i think.. what? can they afford to do this? The earnings are allright though still and in cometition with istock, so I definatly keep uploading there. Perhaps they are wanting a very tight clean image gallery, with very few duplicates.

Interesting that we share the same experience. The story I've invented for myself to explain why one site accepts while another rejects is they have a differnt customer so differnt quality and "type" of shots would work better.
BTW - great to see some dpc folks here. Good idea to have a place where we can talk about the micro sites. Thanks for the effort.

Yeah, a diferent customer base is a likely story. My top two images on dreamstime don't sell hardly at all on shutterstock, or Istock. However, how they organize their searches might explain part of this as well.
