Hi. I�m thinking to upload my images to wirestock. Is it worth the time ? Also do you tick the box where they will distribute to other agencies as well ? Thanks

I agree.

I had an account on Wirestock,I uploaded a few thousand content,then after a few months I asked to delete the account,which I had to ask for a couple of times but then my account was deleted.

I really don't like the idea of ​​a single port for all contributors.

then as regards earnings,I seem to read from those who use it that they more or less earn an average of 10 usd per month for around 3000 content.

many don't even get to 10 usd a month with 3000 contents,In my opinion it's not worth it,for many reasons.

Hi, I think it is wasting money for first and wasting time for second.When is ,,free,, I upload around 100 images for tasting water, some is selling four couple cents today. For me big NO at this time and  I do not believe something will change soon.

Thanks Miro. What other agencies you�d recommend to sign up ? Which you believe is worth the time.

MA

What kind of agency is this?

For regularly income SS,Adobe and MA works for me, Alamy, Pond or Pond5, IS/Getty depends on the stars conspiracy others like DP, DT, Vecteezy, Freepik, ME ok to have it but do not wait to much, not really working for me. BS, 123RF is good for coffee but not every month. 
But many other people have different experience and also different portfolios.

Thanks a lot. I believe  I am with all agencies you have mentioned above. The motion array has limits of how many assets I can upload which puts me down. Is it worth the time? Also do you sell prints on FAA?

If is MA worth is hard question. For me is working well, but how I mention before every portfolio is different. Try it and you will see. FAA- I cancel 5 years ago. Zero sales for couple years. I think is working better for landscape photographer.

I think you are missing the point and why Wirestock exists. The only reason to use Wirestock is to upload to other agencies. They are a distribution resource and barely an agency. If you are considering using only their free marketplace, I think it's a waste of time. Maybe someone here has actually had a sale from WS marketplace, I see no future in that.

When they were free, it was fun. I checked boxes for all the agencies I don't work, and uploaded everything I had saved on the hard drive. I also uploaded any rejects from AS, IS, or SS to WS. One happens to sell over and over. So I'm lucky.

I don't mind the 15%, but I'm not going to pay them to do generic keywording and take 15% for the tiny agencies that don't pay much.

Yes, we have choices, I kept the best earning places that I still work, for myself, I only checked boxes for the starving bottom feeder agencies.

But read again, they are distributors. Their marketplace at this time is doing nothing. That could change.

It's confusing but here's what WS offers:

A) Pay to upload and get distribution to the major agencies. $179 a year (includes keywording and all metadata) They take 15% of any sales.

B) Free marketplace, where they sell your images as subscriptions on their own site only. (included in the pay plan as well, if anyone wants it)

Two completely different programs that are essentially unrelated.

But, do you have to pay in order to upload content to Wirestock? Some time ago i tried to upload some images, however i couldn't becuase i have to upgrade!

They have a free offer (which I don't use) to upload to the Marketplace, which is their own kind of online agency. Maybe someone will have a sale or income from that? It looks like a dead end. Subscription as far as I can see.

"  Access to 5M+ unique images and videos
    Download up to 1000 images and videos monthly
    No attribution required for all content
    24/7 Support"
$7.79 a Mo or $93 a year.

Yes, to upload to the agencies you have to pay for the right. $179 a year, you get AI, 200 uploads, free keywording and contests. There's more, but the point is, Marketplace is free and then the images are sold via subscription. . I find nothing attractive in paying to upload to a distribution site, and I don't need AI, especially a pay version when there are still free sites around.

If anyone has any return or has ever got a cent from Marketplace, I hope they will post something here.

Thank you very much!

You're welcome, I hope I got it all right. They have such a mash of programs, and offerings.

I love the part, where I can pay them $179, they will attach vague and non-specific keywords, without knowing the locations or details, and then, I'm also allowed to have them sell my images, on Marketplace, by subscription, at a rate of 1,000 downloads for people who buy the subscription, and I get $

That's why I wonder if anyone has anything detailed on how much Marketplace pays for a download. Can't be much, because it's a Sub. and the fee is so low for 1,000 a month.

I do like the regular program, when it was free, and they read my included metadata, but they are selling the easy upload and distribution, shoot/edit and upload part. I will say, the regular distribution, does work, and the automatic payments are always prompt. I have very similar images that sell from WS and are on the same agency, some by accident, and the WS versions sell, while mine don't. I'm convinced they have better search placement. Plus, everything WS is the highest level on any agency because of rewards for annual sales Etc.

But I'm not paying $179 a year to make $90 a year.  But part of that is also, No SS, IS, AS or AL to speak of.
