MicrostockGroup

Hi All,

I am reading this forum for quite some time now and it’s a great place for independent info. I am submitting to microstock pages for almost a year now. Think it is time to review my strategy.

Are there any other microstock sites worth submitting to?
Currently I am on SS (40%), DT (20%), IS (20%), FL (10%), BS (10%) . % of earning in brackets.


What about Alamy? Can I submit the same photos that I have on the micros? Is it worth the hassle with sending in CDs?  Would be great if anyone had an indication on $ per photo per year for Alamy.

Thanks,
T

I'll second stockxpert.  I signed up with them about a month ago and sales are going fairly well.  Will definatly take the time to put the rest of my portfolio up with them

I would try stockxpert.  income is good and uploading is simple.

I would also add 123RF as they are easy to upload to - sales not as good. about same as BS for me.

The others aren't worth it unless you really want to add another.  Maybe Featurepics - sales aren't great but they are a site everyone wants to do well since they pay a good commission.

I haven't tryed Alamy so cant comment.

or support the site by using the links on here.

FP is a good choice also - hopefully it had a good future.  I like having the choice of choosing my price, so I can put images there that I wouldn't put in microstock sites.  Sales are slow, but at least for me better than CanStockPhoto and better than the latest months at 123RF.

what kind of stock does stock expert accept? I tried 3 times and was rejected 3 times.

Can you look at my portfolio and suggest which ones i should send in to try again?? Thanks

I uploaded my first batch to StockXpert via FTP today. Wow, the user interface is unique. I hope I got it right, but the bulk editor is great! Let's see how it works out.

Is there any "submit button" ... or do I just wait?! I transferred the photos from the " briefcase" into a "briefcase sub-folder" and assigned categories via the bulk editor. That's it?

If it is really that simple, I will have all my images up in no time 

Thanks again for pointing out StockXpert!

Wow, it's great. My first FTP batch at StockXpert has been reviewed within 12hrs and acceptance was around 80%. Also had 2 sales already. I always thought it would be a great hassle to upload all images to a new place. Not there.

Realy don't want to imagine how much time this would take at IS 


Thanks again.
