Title: Hi to ALL ! New member from today
Post by: bojpav on December 02, 2014, 04:45: Hello friends,

My name is Bojan, I'm from Serbia. As a Newbie starting posting here...
I'm relatively new to Microstock. Trying to upgrade my small portfolio (for now), and my occupation is Vectors, I know that there is too much vectors on-line, but otherwise I think that hard work and new ideas would make some reults in the future.
I suppose that this forum will help me to make good choice of agencies and in other fields, and at least maybe I can help somebody.

Cheers !

Welcome to Serbia from Berlin!

Welcome to Serbia from New Mexico, USA!

You'll find this a fun (usually) and interesting (always) group.

Post by: Mantis on December 02, 2014, 10:14: Welcome. As Martha stated MSG can be a very good source for information but also can get a little opinionated and heated at times, but it all shakes out so we have multiple perspectives on any given issue. Enjoy and as far as vector work goes I don't know jack. But create different, marketable work and you may get some traction. Focus on the big three at first.

Sretno Bojane!

Remember the importance of good and complete keywords as well as the quality of your illustrations & photos (I saw you had a few on Fotolia). Spamming helps no one, but leaving out keywords might lose you sales - for example your picture of a church in Lake Bled does not have Slovenia as a keyword.

For this vector (again as an example) you don't have palm tree or plane or airplane in the keywords (and you could drop panorama, panoramic, magic and wallpaper as they really don't apply)

Good luck!

Post by: bojpav on December 03, 2014, 03:57: First of all, thank you all for honest welcomes, and honest advices...

@DOOK> I know that I must get into SS, but I have problem with approving of my first 10, and I was rejected, 5 images are without reference images, and I'll fix that and try again ;)

@Jo Ann Snover> Thanks for advice, and examples with wrong keywording...for one day chating in this forum, I see how much I can learn :)

I also have profiles on: VectorStock, BigStock, DepositPhotos(waiting for approval)...

I have a lot of questions, but I'll take it slowly, and try to find it on the forum.
