Does some of the following sites have EASY uploading? That means NO categories, NO clicks on separate images needed, FTP upload (or very easy web form without having to select files separately or submission by DVD)
I know 123rf, canstock, scanstockphoto are that easy, but are there others? (veer and stockxpert are quite easy too...)
Pixmac
MicrostockPhoto
Fotomind
Photosociety
How easy are the above sites to upload?
Thinking about more places where to dump my portfolio... :)

I just discovered "MostPhoto", submitting there is like "fire & forget".
If the files a properly tagged: FTP-upload ---> a few more clicks and its done ;D

Perry,
There are low earners and no earners. :D
Apart from a couple of sales in the first year, Microstockphoto.com is completely dead for me. Their support doesn't even reply emails.

yeah I yanked everything off MSP ages ago .. I would say they died but I dont believe they were ever even alive.

Don't just look at how easy it is to submit photos - also find out how what it takes to delete them and close your account. For some sites it's a major hassle, all the more aggravating if you're doing it because the site never made you any money.

For vector artist try GraphicLeftOvers (http://graphicleftovers.com/ref=nicemonkey/) easy to upload to and even thou I have only been on there about 2 months it is already up to about 5 or 6 best earner. ;)

Fotomind is very easy! They also accept everything....but you never sell photos ;)

well spoken stockastic. This is one reason why I am slowly disliking certain sites which I thought were cool to belong. I have read so much here about the hassles some ppl had faced when they've decided to go exclusive, and wham... skeletons in the closet popping up everywhere.
which reminds me, I better do some hot spring cleaning too... as I did submit to a lot of these sites too when I first came here and thought it was so cool to get 100% approval with all of them lol.

and going back to answer your question "dumping your port".
if i remember someone once said it's a good idea (vonkara i think) in case you lose your archive to some natural disaster.
i think for that reason it's a good idea, and in fact i think a couple of sites do allow you to dl your own work for free.

They made me 84$ since end 2007 but I didn't upload to them since then. Payout limit is 100$. It's interesting they mention the country of the buyer next to the sale. About 1/4 is from Russia... ::)
