Title: Hi, new here!
Post by: Jeffrey on December 04, 2012, 21:37

Hi my name is Jeffrey.

Looks like a busy microstock forum. I signed few years ago at microstockforum.com, but it was too quiet there. So I would probably have more time here.

I started doing microstocking at iStock in 2005, mostly vectors, then submitted a few photos too.

But recent changes at iStock made income really slow. So I decided to submit to other sites like Fotolia etc, and also putting up my own Wordpress powered stock site.

Hi Jeffrey!

Sign up with Shutterstock as soon as you can! On the right side of the main page you will see the rankings of the sites- nail the top tier and middle tier for sure.

Welcome Aboard the MSG Ship!

Hi tab62,

But the passport requirement does not allow me too, I've attempted twice in the past, but to no avail.

Sucks to live in a 3rd world country.  :D

Can you not use your local ID or driving licence?

They only allow passport. Unless I'm wrong.

Hi Jeffrey

Welcome to the forum and yes, you are wrong. They accepted my South African ID. No problem.
