Title: Waiting time to be accepeted at Istock
Post by: Arvids on March 01, 2011, 13:25: Hi everybody, I'm new around here but have been of and on as a lurker for a while.

What is the waiting period for the review of my initial 3 photos for evaluation to join as a contributor to Istock.

Thanks,

Arvids

good luck!

maybe someone who has gone through the process recently can add their experience. I think it took about 2 weeks for me, but that was in 2004 -- so no telling now! :) Recently I joined several other sites and the longest one to get approved was at Veer which took about 3 weeks, I believe.

Post by: SNP on March 02, 2011, 10:32: it took me five tries over the course of two months. that was in 2007. you could be accepted on your first try, but if not, don't feel discouraged. if you have trouble, you should post some photos here and we can give you some pointers. sometimes people just choose the wrong types of images to submit with their application. good luck :-)

Post by: robggs on March 04, 2011, 15:30: It took me about 5 tries in about as many months during 2009. I could have easily given up in that time. Keep going if you don't get in first time.
