Veer, I really like you.  I love the way your site looks and feels to use, I love the commission rates, I love your acceptance policies and I especially love the way my balance jumps when I sell an extended licence.  I really want you to be my No 3 agency, but that isn't really happening.  I know I have a small portfolio, but I need to sell more and I need for my images to get more views in order for that to happen.  I also need for my new images to be inspected waaaay more quickly.  Mine have been sitting for a month in the queue now.  These same images have been approved for weeks elsewhere and have been gathering sales already.  It is not just me that is missing out.

You guys are in the perfect position to be one of the big winners from iStock's demise, please don't let this opportunity pass you by.  Please, please can you spend more money on marketing and also employ another inspector - the one that you have seems to be a bit overwhelmed....

I say all this not to try and pick a fight, but because I would genuinely like to see you do well so that we can all benefit.
All the best,
Bridget (StockCube)

I agree, there's a lot to like about Veer but they should be pushing for a top tier spot.  With istock faltering, there's a great opportunity to make some progress but Veer haven't made the most of the situation yet.  I would like to see a new competitor for SS but I'm starting to think Veer is just going to languish in the lower earnings sites.

I feel that Veer is so close to being a really great agency, but it's just not firing on all cylinders.

50 images a week and a month for the typical review times really leaves a lot to be desired, especially if you have an existing portfolio to try and upload. 2,500 / 50 means about a year to get my portfolio uploaded. There are no options for more (I asked when I started).

The interface for processing uploaded images is pretty, but functionally awkward and slow. Way too many clicks to do anything and tons of scrolling, checking & unchecking....

And since the software update a week or so ago, I can't see how many open slots I have. They acknowledged the bug but no fix so far.  I realize I could FTP some files and see what happens, but I'm not going to.

I got my first subscription sale  on Tuesday though, and it was for 83 cents, so that was great (meaning it wasn't the 25 cent minimum and was more than a SS sub sale)

I like a lot all this honest and human approach between us and Veer! 
Keep going!
