List of possible stock sites - know anything about them?

(1/1)

SStevenson:
I was doing some research one day with a supplement that came with PDN magazine a couple of months ago, and I came up with some stock agencies I hadn't heard about before.  Anyone belong to any of these, or know anything about them?  I'm a little hesitant now to jump into them without any second opinion, after the fiasco that is USPhotoStock. :'(

Here are the sites I came across:

AccessStock
KeenImages
Images24.co.za
The Stock Solution
MicroStockPhoto
AreaImage
Crestock
Gimmestock
ImageVortex
StockedPhotos
TotallyPhotos
Shuttermap
BuyDigitalImages
StockPhotoMedia
3amPhoto
GalaStock
I know a couple of them, such as Gimmestock, ImageVortex and StockPhotoMedia, are already listed in the links on this forum, but I'd just like some information that anybody has that presently belong to these, and the others above, before I dive into any further uploading. :-\

Any input would be appreciated.

Signed up with Gimmetsock no sales and very slow growth and poor payout so stopped.

I think now unless a site has something new to offer or has very agressive marketing they aren't going to make a dent in a rather saturated market. Curious if Lucky Oliver manage to make any headway.

FT was started by some French guys who had just sold a webhosting business, I see thier google adwords all the time and their 20c bounty helped swell their portfolio so they were the first to reach a million.

I know of a guy from another forum who is signed up with every agency and he has given some of them star ratings

Mehmet Dilsiz star rankings

He has little descriptions of each site though ignorance is bliss regarding USphoto he hasn't written anything bad in fact he gave them 3 stars.

I'm with TotallyPhotos. No sales, but interesting pricing structure and good feedback. I'll keep uploading there for a bit and see how it goes.

kacper:
Honestly, there are hundreds of stock sites there. None but a handful are worth anything. I've been duped to upload into couple of them and for revenue of 0 to 10 dollars a year it's not worth the effort.

Crestock - with for months, small portfolio NO SALES
Gimmestock - with for months, big portfolio NO SALES
TotallyPhotos - with for months, small portfolio NO SALES
StockPhotoMedia - just trying out, no sales yet
