For what its worth I have had two sales this month on ToonVectors with a commission of $14.00 each. $28 from a brand new site with only 1/4 of my port isn't bad. Outside of the top 4 I also like GLStock and Canstock.

Post by: MarkRyanDesigns on September 21, 2012, 09:22: agencies. my plan was always to go exclusive on istock but lately I am questioning whether it's worth it so I'd like to try a few other sites. istock and shutterstock have always been consistant for me but I've never sold anything on bigstock, fotolia or dreamstime is there other sites that are good just with illustrations as oppose to photos?

Post by: fiftyfootelvis on October 03, 2012, 17:41: I do fairly well on 123RF and Vectorstock. Nothing close to SS but it all adds up. I tried to upload some images to Graphic River but finally gave up due to their incredibly screwed up system.
