Hi, my 3 months of waiting are over, does anybody here has some tips how and with what pics I have a chance at SS? My main subjects are food, flowers (including macros), dogs, no peolple shots. Thanks a lot! SY

F.E. What were the subjects of your "test submission"?

Take a look at the top selling photos, that should give you an idea what will sell really well. However, those aren't the only things that sell. I've uploaded a few images that while technically good, proper exposure, good focus, etc I couldn't see why anyone would want them. Two of those have sold more than any other photo I've uploaded. You just never know really.

I flunked the first test with SS so second time round I selected ten photos that had been accepted and were selling at iStock and it seemed to work, not actually my top ten as some were similar so I tweaked it.

If its good enough for iStock it should pass the SS test

Good luck with that as they do bring in some money a pity about the once a month payouts.

I think the key sometimes with SS is the key words if you have a good photo with a wide range of keywords it doesn't get buried quite so quickly.

Been with them less than 3 weeks but already I have seen a sharp drop in sales as I didn't submit anything last week
