I know that, that's why I am still active on Dreamstime. I have faith in it.

Unlike for some other sites that I quit.

I will give it 6 more months.

p.s.

I do have kws in IPTC data....

I too find Dreamstime to be a little slower than most. My best earners in order are:

Shutterstock
iStock
Fotolia
Dreamstime
Bigstock
StockXpert

Bigstock is beginning to outsell DT for me.

I would also agree that StockXpert is becoming more trouble than it's worth. I would disagree about iStock though. If you have a big portfolio and you take the time to upload 15-20 (can't remember what the current limit is) of your really REALLY best sellers each week, I'd wager that you'll be outselling Fotolia within a month.

wow, that is surprising that bigstock outsells stockxpert and almost dreamstime for you... quite different than the average submitter.

If your profile is different from other as you sales seems to suggest, perhaps you should try some agencies with different approch as Alamy, Featurepics or Photoshelter ? At least give them a try. As you seem to have already a huge porfolio, select 100 pictures for each and load them. What is you risk ?

You cannot upload images from microsites to Alamy or PSC as they are traditional stock sites with mostly RM images.

Dreamstime works in depth. Unlike SS, I never sell recent photos there, only older ones (at least 2-3 months online). Your sales won't plummet on DT when you don't upload for 2 months. DT is a hell of a long-term investment.

Ditto: Older Pix. Even longer. I've had pix on DT for 6 months to a year before they started to sell... I also get that on BigStock.

DT is quite a way ahead of BigStock overall, but on recent history they are poor. BigStock still outsells SX for me though, whichever period I compare them over. I have got more than twice the number of images at BigStock, but then I expect that most people have.
