Hello all.
Spare time, I tell you.
Eventually could reach almost 250 pictures in the CanStockPhoto.
Maybe form a stream of sales?

Congrats but you might need over 1,000 for a stream of sales with CanStockPhoto. I know some people make 50 good quality stock photos a week in their spare time. I had an initial burst, 1,500 images in my first 6 months but slowed down a lot after that. The money motivated me, the thought of being able to live off earnings from photography. Fortunately, I can live on very little

It's a lot harder now, the sites accepted much more when I started.

Hi Sharpshot

If the 1000 image must be achieved, may also be 2000 or 5000 images. If it can make the flow of sales, it's also a good thing. I've seen in the forum, with 10000 images and over 5000 sales, but most vector illustration. If this happens, is a happy?

yahhhhhhhhhhh,,,,,,,, I expect more than that. All the time consumed by the image search and upload process.

for the 10th time forget canstockphoto my friend, you need to get on other agencies lol I am serious, good luck!

Yes, listen to Luis!

Try to get into Shutterstock, iStock, Dreamstime and 123RF. Canstock is a lovely agency and Duncan is fantastic, but you will sell more images more quickly on the agencies I've mentioned here.

Hi all.

Thanks for the input. I'll give it a try.

Canstock has fantastic support for contributors, and Duncan is brilliant. However, the sales are a little slow. With a portfolio of 800 i sell an image every 2-4 weeks. I think you need to upload to other sites too.

With over 400 images on Canstock for about 2 years I average about 2 sales a month. The upside is the occasional $15-$20 sale which has allowed me to have 2 $50 payouts. It is a pretty slow site but better for me than Fotolia or BigStock or Veer.

Canstock?
Is a place where you uploaded 10- 20 images and later on found out not to bother...

Go for IS, SS, DT and FOT

Based on cost/benefit this certainly does not stand up in my experience. Uploading to Canstock is much easier and acceptance looser than any of the other sites you list. This keeps production costs very low and my average sale there is over $2.00 making it the highest per download site I have.

If you are uploading to other sites including Canstock is a no brainer.

For the last year it has beaten Fotolia in every way for me.
