Hi,
Last month I decided to upload a batch of footage (about 30 clips) to different platforms to see how long takes the review time.
In spite that this time can vary depending on many variables and on the planets and stars line up here is my experience:
1- Fotolia: 1 day
2- ShutterStock: 3 days
3- Depositphotos: 4-5 days
4- IStockPhoto: 9 days
5- Videoblocks: 13 days
6- 123RF: 16 days
7- Pixtastock: 18 days
8- Pond5: 20 days
9- Dissolve : 20 days
In my opinion review time is very important in order to start monetizing content, where in ShutterStock or Fotolia you can do it very soon, others your content can get even obsolete before it's online.
What do you think?
