When you uploading mobile images to SS do you need some special tag, "mobile" or something like that ?
I signed up with twenty20. The files are not exclusive right? I cannot find anything about exclusivity on their site.Ill upload the files that are not exclusive to eyeem plus a few other things that interest me.Well see what happens. I have started to reprocess some of my older series with the smartphonelook. Might give them a new life.Eta: got a reply from their support that everything is non exclusive.
Three sales through the SMART collection by Westend61, netting me 130 (about $150).A few sales with mobile shots on Stocksy United, not sure because I don't really remember which of my shots were mobile or from my Sony NEX.A handful of sales through Fotolia Instant. I don't track separate sales on Shutterstock and others.Quite a few sales on EyeEm/Getty over the last year.Just started a mobilestock experiment on my blog three weeks ago where I upload on Snapwire, Twenty20, Foap etc. First sale on Twenty20 for $1.
Disappointing to see some of them only have iPhone app I have uploaded some editorial photos taken from my phone to SS and 123RF as regular uploads. One of them has 100+ sales, another with 50+, and many with 10+.
I am on Stockimo, 3 sales so far.
DT has been my best earner for iPhoneography. I also have images on Fotolia Instant and Stockimo but no sales on either yet. EDIT: a couple sales on Fotolia Instant with 7 images. My best iPhone earner on DT sold again last week for $10.38 - it's an editorial image that is usually licensed as a credits sale. Nice to make a little extra from iPhoneography. I've also had iPhone images that I've uploaded to Alamy as reportage zoomed on recently so I'll have to see how they do. "m not turning in my Nikon yet LOL
i heard that you get paid very well on every sale on Stockimo , is that right?

Sold my first mobile phone photo for $2. Used a few sites but had no luck in over 6 months, so I will have to upload a lot more images.https://www.twenty20.com/photos/3fe1283f-f225-42dc-96cb-b0721c630372

Is it possible / makes sense to upload DSLR pictures to Twenty20? Will they sell?

I started uploading mobile stockphoto's while commuting, or during bored moments at work. And, I was surprised that sales started flowing in! Not big sales, I won't be selling the 5D yet, or quitting my daytime job yet, but it's fun to see sales coming in. I'm using, in order of sales:ShutterstockFotoliaiStockDreamstime123RFStockimoTwenty20 (no sales yet)Thinking of using Eyeem too...Weird thing about DT: I have between 100 and 200 on each agency (except Twenty20). But DT used to be my bigtime winner in sales, so I put all my effort in that portfolio, and uploaded about 450 at them. Sales (and views) were coming in regularly (not enough, but fun). So I made an extra effort and pushed my portfolio above 500 (37 now). Since then (2 months now), no sales anymore, and almost no views. Anyone else noticed this strange kind of behavior?Luckily my iStock, FT and SS portfolios kicked off, so I put my effort there now.
is there a way to protect photos on eyeem because i there is no watermark there ?

I have a one plus 2 and am trying to figure out if it's me are the phone that's causing all the rejections
What about footage? Do agencies accept the quality from a phone?
Mobile sites like 20twenty and EyeEm but not Snapwire, I don't get them. I have the feeling they don't want any new photographers and always have the same people getting nominated.Westend61 for macro, they distribute to Offset, Getty, Fotolia and others as well and accepts mobile.I always find keywording too troublesome at Alamy, my portfolio there is tiny and sales are almost absent. Not sure if they change the keywording procedure at Alamy nowadays.In order of importance for me at the moment: Westend61, Getty, mobile, microstock agencies with Westend61 getting my best images and microstock my worst.
Doing pretty well with mobile, in fact my sales at the 'mobile' websites are outperforming microstock nowadays. I'm considering to pull out of microstock and only doing macrostock and mobile for images.I've kind of had it with all the changes at the (greedy) microstock agencies.

Do agencies accept the quality from a phone?I'm don't upload too much iphone clips as I love using my professional cam but in some instances mobile clips are great. Must have it in manual mode to stop the aperture from flickering and I also put it in manual focus. One of my best selling clips on Getty was filmed on my old iphone 4s quite a few years ago. Still sells today. As long as you use the equipment to its full advantage the content will sell the clip and do all the hard work for you.
Does Pixendr or any other app add the iPTC directly to the image file or is it just stored in in Pixendr?
