when i started a year ago to start submitting to microstock , i thought it was so cool to get accepted by so many sites. YAY ! then as time passes by, i got a bit tired of that, and now, i am down to what? 5 ? 6 sites, hmm,.. not even that many.

i now do it in such a way that the more i see downloads, the more i upload ...
life is so much easier with less sites and only the ones that give me some results regularly.

i realise that as a newbie, one has to take time. but when you are already getting downloads with a couple of sites, why even bother trying anything else? time better spent in making more new images for the sites that sell for you, no?

as for the other reasoning that a new site will shoot like a bullet one day, that's what i believe too for winning the lottery 

One in January, nothing since ...

I recently had a couple sales, 1 euro a sale is not bad. Uploading is really easy so I will probably stick around for awhile.

I remember a time before Google. With the right formula, things can change very fast on the internet.

You remember the time before Google? Feels like there was no time before Google.
Oh I got a Euro back in July, I have 27 photos there.

It seems like all new site will fail and eventually will be assimilated by Getty. What was the movie where all restaurants were Taco Bell, Judge Dread?

0 sales. At one point I would have loved to know the number of views, but I realise they would only be my own views.

Website is super fast, and uploading system is easiest among all microstock sites. It's a real pleasure uploading to Yaymicro. Everything is so easy, intuitive and convenient, but....no sales.

I have 4 sales for 9 euros but I don't get the feeling this site is about to get better.  How many of us will reach the payout level?  So far albumo is the only site I have left but this one looks like joining them.

Just joined today.
Yup - the site is awesome!
I love the AJAX and ow fast it is.

Really easy to use as well.

Good job guys! Let's work on those sales now

SALES? What sales?
I was on there for 7 months with nearly 2,000 images and zip, nada, nothing for sales.
It is also easy to delete your port there which I did.
Great easy site to upload to but that is all.

I'm going to be 72 years old this June ...... I don't think I will live another 50 years to get my first payout on Yay. Who knows it could take even longer than that!

I never understand why people take their ports. off places after spending time putting them on. Yes I know they have an easy upload, but time was still spent. Plus its always good to have as many files online to get ur name about. If someone was browsing Yay, just checking out the site and saw ur photos, he might look for them elsewhere, with the agencies he usually uses. So basically it's more exposure, plus if Yay becomes good and that's always a possibility, ur photos are already sitting there, while others will be trying to upload their photos and getting frustrated with stupid rejection reasons.

YAY is not for sale - yet.

I decided to upload a batch again - and got a couple of rejections! Reason given was that the quality was not up to standard. I don't have a problem with that, except that the worst photos in the batch were accepted, and those already accepted by SS got rejected.
