General Stock Discussion / New image requests from stock sites?
« on: September 18, 2019, 06:59 »
Hi all

I seem to remember that some stock sites like SS used to have a place they published requests for images on certain topics from time to time.  I think they tweeted them, but not on their regular Twitter account.
Can anyone share links to places where I can find out what images are in demand (i.e. new material is needed)?

Thanks!

 Hi all

The code I embedded to show my latest images in a widget on my Wordpress site just stopped working out of the blue.  I tried to find the code snippet on my contributor space, and I can't seem to locate it or remember how I got it in the first place.

Can someone help me?  I tried on the SS forum and received no help  :-\

Thanks!

Hi

I can only find answers here about uploading the jpg preview of a vector file in a zip, but that's not what need to know.

Can someone advise me...?

I would like to know whether I need to upload an image as both vector and jpg if I want to sell as both types.  Or does the vector automatically get offered as vector and jpg by Adobe?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've only just synced my Fotolia account with Adobe Stock and it's ages since I uploaded content. :-[

Hi all

I'm trying to find out what kinds of images are needed or trending, but I can only find requests for photography (for example all these requests refer to photography - https://twitter.com/GettyImagesWant)

Does anyone know how I can find out what illustration subjects are needed?  I'm a contributor to the big 4 and focusing on those needs.

Thanks!

I've just hit my first payout, after starting on SS just over two months ago. I want to thank everyone here for their amazing support - all my questions have been answered by people here in such a generous way.

In the first month I had about 100 vector images, and in the second about 400. With absolutely no self-promotion I've hit $75 (all 25-a-day subscriptions apart from 5 On-Demand). 

I'm interested to know whether you think this is good going, super fast or super slow?

I'm also starting an experiment to compare how my sales do with the help of social networking.  I've started a FB and Twitter presence and am putting up some articles on Squidoo.  I'll report back and let you know how my sales are affected in another 2 months or so.

I'd appreciated it if you could Like my FB page or follow us on twitter @TnTDesignsZA  to help get some momentum going!

Thanks again for the friendly helping hand,
Toni @ TnT Designs Africa

Hi all

I read some advice recently about promoting my stock images on Flickr.  One method is to put rejected images up on Flickr (they shouldn't be for sale anywhere), and then somehow get people to visit my collections for sale on Shutterstock and the like.

I've just read that Flickr only allows linking to Getty, because of their partnership.

Does anyone know how to promote SS images on Flickr?

Thanks!

Hi all

Could anyone point me to an overview of the common features of microstock license agreements?
I'm wondering whether they are all pretty similar, or whether there are any which should be avoided.

Thanks!

Hi
Can anyone confirm whether ClipartOf is closed to new contributors?  Permanently?
Thanks.

Hi there

I have a large vector portfolio, and someone at SS forum advised me to try my images as products on Zazzle.  I've found that the design process is really time-consuming and I'm now finding out from this forum that the promotion aspect is really lacking, and I agree - why should all the burden be on the contributor, when the payback is so small?
Not sure if anyone posted this helpful linkhttp://www.squidoo.com/zazzle-gallery-promotion] [url]http://www.squidoo.com/zazzle-gallery-promotion[/url] - 48 ways to promote you Zazzle store.  Seems like a crazy amount of work!

My other concern is that there is no review process or quality control.  Surely they will just be drowned in mediocre or poor products?  Then we have to make more effort to get people to find our good designs...

I'd appreciate any advice on whether this is worth pursuing, given the amount of effort required?

Thanks!
