Hi all
Several times to see here, I do not find the news interesting.
Possible sale, denial or others.
If my story is, always upload and upload. How do you all premises, do the same with me?
Blessed

I'm finding this difficult to translate but I think it's about low sales with CanStockPhoto again? There's only one way to improve them, spend more time uploading images that buyers want. It isn't easy with the middle tier sites, I would recommend people start with the big 4 first and then spread their portfolio to the smaller sites when they have a lot of good quality stock images.

This guy is awesome, I always find his posts entertaining. He's like the MSG's personal Forrest Gump.
Santosa - upload to Shutterstock, Fotolia, Dreamstime, iStockphoto if you want to see SALES, man.
However, I really like this vector, honestly: http://www.canstockphoto.com/tiger-white-flower88-7997037.html (http://www.canstockphoto.com/tiger-white-flower88-7997037.html)

Santosa. Your problem is not your images. At least not in the case of the tiger. You need better keywords. Like this: tiger, tigers, animal, animals, predator, predators, striped, cat, cats, animal,animals, prowl, prowling, stalk, stalking, Snarl, snarling, mean, aggressive, wild.
That is a beautiful image. It will sell very well but the buyers can't find it
Good luck
-
Thanks for the update Santosa :)

With these type of keywords no buyer will ever find your illustration:
santosalaksana, stock illustration, royalty free illustrations, stock clip art icon, stock clipart icons, logo, line art, EPS picture, pictures, graphic, graphics, drawing, drawings, vector image, artwork, EPS vector art
You need to use words like the ones provided by chromaco, that are more relevant to your image...and by the way, I really like the illustration of the tiger, very nice.

Santosa, do exactly as all has said above, you have many success and happy sales ;)

Wow that might be the worst keywording ever. I checked a few of your other images and they are keyworded really badly as well. Use this: http://www.arcurs.com/keywording/ (http://www.arcurs.com/keywording/)
Good luck.

Hello all of brothers
Thank you with your smile ............. ................. :-* :-*

Agree totally with what others have said about keywords. You need to think like a buyer.
Call me short-sighted, but I don't really see the 'white flower', unless it's the triangle behind its ear?
-
Santosa, Canstock also has a "keyword help button", you may want to use it to edit the bad keywords you already have on that site.

I would also seriously consider using a keywording service if you have problems with English. You'll get your money back in no time as your sales should improve drastically with better keywords. Picniche is one such service

Those keywords get added by CanStock themselves, except for the first one. ;)

Hi Noedelhap
True, you said .....!
Tiger is my first picture. And I just know about canstock.

So Canstock add the word 'logo'?
Do they have robust systems in place should someone decide to take them at their word and use an image as a logo?

Do you think this is good? ???

I dont think any keyword gives you license to do anything that is beyond what the actual license terms outline ... so no worries there.
But santos - try your best to get on shutterstock and the big 4 agencies - it wont be easy ( I think people who got into ms 6 + years ago had a cakewalk , not only getting in, but cashing in on sales on just about any stock photos they had in their portfolios) but if you get accepted, you will have way better sales than with canstock or any other smaller agency.
Just keep trying until you are accepted - dont take no for an answer...

Yes, it is very difficult to get there. But I am happy to do so.

Indeed no, but why are they suckering in people looking for logos if they can't get them there?
-
I think it is because many buyers (maybe even most) don't know what a logo really is. Based on my sales with that particular keyword it seems to be more of a general term for something illustrated.
-
I follow the opinion of Duncan, there is no exact resonance with the buyer, now just try for it. important to keep learning and do their best. :)
-
Sounds like you should get a ??? to english dictionary. I'm sure there's plenty of website versions too.

If I understand correctly, this time Santosa is not complaining about low sales.
Several times to see here, I do not find the news interesting.
Possible sale, denial or others.
If my story is, always upload and upload. How do you all premises, do the same with me?
I think he meant to say....
I visit here (this section of forum) several times, and found nothing interesting. No good news, rejections, nothing much is happening.
In my case, I upload and always upload. How do you guys do at your end? Are you doing the same as me?

Hello photosoup
Thank you, you have visited ...... 8)

Sama sama, Santosa. ;)
I love canstock too. I have a small port there (less than 400), but I do make regular sales. Enough to keep me motivated and upload 5-10 pictures monthly.
