Title: High ranking sites in poll results, worth the time?
Post by: lightscribe on April 09, 2011, 14:12

I see that there are a number of sites in the poll results that rank above the middle tier (3.5)  Does anyone have any experience with any of these, are they worth the time?  Vivozoom, PhotoSpin, Paxxion, Photocase are all above the middle tier and ranked by a dozen people.   http://www.microstockgroup.com/pollsresults/ (http://www.microstockgroup.com/pollsresults/)

If they are only ranked by a dozen or so people, the figures don't really mean much. The figures to the right of this page and on every page are probably more accurate, as I assume they represent a longer period than just the last poll survey.

Unless you have a lot of images ie. 2000 or more (acceptable images), it really isn't worth the time to start uploading to low earning sites. The only ones that I upload to from the low earners (on the right) are Cutcaster and Stockfresh, because I'm hopeful of their success in the future and if they do become successful, it will be more difficult to get stuff online with them.

I find the poll results pretty inaccurate (especially as a vector artist). Take what everybody else says with a grain of salt and try things out for yourself.
