Hello everybody,
I just want to share my experience about DT
I am an enthusiastic photographer who started stock photography in January 2017, with Alamy as my first site.
Also in January 2017, I signed up in ShutterS, and Dreamstime.
On April 2017, I signed up in Istock and late in Adobe Stock. (about December 2017)
It took me around 18 months to build a portfolio of around 2000 images in total.
I have commercial and editorial, mostly editorial.
My balance till now from Jan 2017 to June 2018 it is:
SS- Images online: 1700 Downloads: 1300 - earnings around 700 USD
Adobe- Images online: 600 Downloads: 120 - earnings around 95 USD
Istock: Images Online: 1650 Downloads: 600 - earnings around 300 USD
Alamy: Images Online: 2000: 20 sales, around 340 USD net profit ( it took me 9 months for my first sale but now I have two or three by month but good money for each sale. My 20 sales are from October 2017 to now Jun 18)
Dreamstime: 1810 images online and just 107 sales and 66 USD earnings and I have even more photos online than in Shutterstock (1700)
Even Adobe it is a lot better for me, just 600 images and 120 downloads and 95 dollars...even I used to have only 200 images in Adobe and In Feb 2017 I started to upload again till completed 600 files in Jun 2018.
I really was thinking to close my account in Dreamstime...even I think they give preference to the exclusive photographers in the search results on the DT site.
I don't expect a lot but at least to be better than Adobe and closer to Istock where I have now around 90 downloads by month.
Have excellent day ladies and gentlemen!!
PD: I have the same photos on all the sites, excepts adobe which does not accept editorial.
