I am at Shuttertock, iStock, Adobe and Deposit photos.
All of them are pretty good and looking to expand to some new ones. Which one would you suggest for 12.000 photos?

Maybe Alamy and Dreamstime?

Adobe Stock is still good for photos imho.

Don't forget to look beyond stock. Its a sunk ship after all. If you try and experiment with other eCommerce/part time income stuff you might find something better and you'll be better off then getting 10 cents or less.

I receive emails from Flippa selling business websites / marketplace stores such as Amazon FBA and think wish I had the skills, knowledge and clear vision on how to do this because there's a lot that make some really decent profits, more than my day job and of course much more than microstock.

You can use Wirestock and you will not need to worry which agencies are best

No stress is a major plus in the stock business. Nice to see you posting.

Alamy is still worth it imo, even if they're promoting subscriptions. At least the pricing points are something I can live with, just hope they won't drop any further.
