what a great idea ! latest from wirestock: "Great news! We’ve launched the Wirestock Marketplace. To boost its promotion, we’ll include 5% of your unsold content in our free collection. " "By offering your content for free, you gain unmatched exposure, potentially increasing your sales and overall platform visibility."
dont they know unmatched exposure leads to skin cancer?

As soon as I saw they had put the rejections into "Personal", I deleted all of those files. Then they said, I could have still sold those on my own. :o Now they want to add mine to a free collection? HA! I'm glad i deleted them all.
When someone tells me how I can eat Free downloads for lunch or have a sip of free exposure while I watch the Sunset, I might consider their plan. I guess I'm just to stuck up, to live in the glory of Free Exposure or potential sales and better platform visibility... maybe.
WS Personal Collection?
I made an error before, Marketplace is the normal distribution, where we pick which agencies to receive our images. We Pick, it's not all or none like some others.

But I'm still not paying for that right to upload, some AI and 15% if I get downloads.

I tried wirestock a couple of years ago,after 2-3 months I deleted everything and closed the account,and judging by the gains I see from those who use it I have done well.

When they went pay, I left the account active. I still have around 500 images, which are distributed to sites where I have no account. 123RF, DP, Evanto, a bunch more, in other words, everywhere except SS, AS, AL, IS and DT. And some of those have rejects and other files, activated for sale, from WS. Odd how that works? Rejected personally, but accepted at WS and the agency that rejected the image?
It makes me as much a year as IS, which is a nice bottle of single malt. For free, I do no work, I'm happy. :)
But I wouldn't pay for the right to upload or have them do the keywords and distribution. Maybe some other people find it a benefit? I'd have to have many more images, to make it worthwhile.

Of course,it's all subjective in the end,it depends on what works for you,or simply what you prefer to do.
as far as I know,based on what those who use wirestock say,more or less you get 10usd a month for around 5000 contents,then maybe clearly this will be different for someone I don't know.
what I know,and that's fine with me,it's just that it's not worth leaving content on display for thieves and copycats if an agency makes so little,not to mention the waste of time it takes to upload and all the various problems it can cause,such as in this case the free collection without pay.
If an agency doesn't make much money,it's better to let it go than settle for crumbs and have too much wasted time and various problems.
