I am on 10 sites, but only 7 of them are making any significant money - the Big 6 plus Bigstock.

Hi Lisa! Happy 2012 to you and your family.

What are these big 6? I know just 4 (SS, IS, DT & FL).

Do you submit also to RM sites? What are them if so? I mean, if you want to share it. ;0)

Have a nice weekend.
Lucato.

₁ Should normally be one position to the left if they didn't have this obnoxious IFRAMES or scrollable windows that make you click and scroll all the time to get anything done. I get FSS (Finger Strain Syndrome) from it.

easy fix is to write offline and paste in - i agree that scroll is terrible

Hi Lucato. Happy 2012 to you and yours also! I read your thread about quitting exclusivity, and I really feel for you. 2012 may be a time of rebuilding for you, adding your portfolio to other sites, but in the end I am sure you will find your income recovers and maybe even surpasses what you used to make on Istock alone.

The quote from March 2009, I am not sure which "Big 6" I was referring to. Probably (SS, IS, FT, DT, plus 123RF and Bigstock). Those are the six sites I always did best at. 90% of my income comes from the top 4 though, so if you are uploading and have limited time, those are the ones you want to get your portfolio on first to begin making good money.

After you are established on the Big 4, you might consider adding Canstock, Photodune, and Depositphotos. Those are definitely lower earners, but consistent ones. I get a payout at each of them every month, so very much worth uploading to.

I am on some other small sites, but none of them are bringing in enough money to justify the time uploading your port to them, IMHO. If things improve there it might be worth it.

Hope the above is helpful! Feel free to sitemail me if there's anything I can do to help.

Thanks Lisa, I hope so. Maybe its really time to do a new step and quit the "comfort zone", but I can't deny it scares me, not for having extra work, but for having the payment reduced more than the RC system cut, once the bills aren't. ;0)

Ops, i forgot to notice the post date, I'm sorry. Yes, I thought about these 4 too, thanks for the advice.

I see, thanks again for the tip. That blog link you gave me in other thread the user seems to have good sales at Veer, but here it seem down the sales, do you submit to Veer? Well, forget it. It is something for the future if I get to manage the 1st 4 sites. :0) Actually if I really drop my crown... be or not to be... kkkk. 90% of chance to happen it, just waiting some threads and e-mails feedbacks.

Talking about it, I saw you`ve set your own site/domain with PhotoStore to sell your files. Does it worth the the time uploading, settings, keywording and so on? I mean, if you want to comment about it. You can sitemail me too. ;0)

Hi,

Is there no online tool to make this transition process easier? I forgot the name of it.
