Firstly, welcome to the forum.
If you want to connect to other new users, you can check out the *newbies only* forum area here
http://www.microstockgroup.com/**newbies-only**/ (http://www.microstockgroup.com/**newbies-only**/)
In regards to starting threads, members who are 'lurkers' (those who have less than one post) are not able to start new threads. This is an effort to cut down on spambots.
Once you have made one post, your status is upgraded to 'Newbie' and you can start your own threads.
Also: when you do start a new thread, please give the thread a descriptive subject. If you are going to ask a question, put the question in the subject. A thread that is titled 'a question for you' or 'I am having problems' is not helpful and will probably not get a very good response. Instead try 'I am having problems with my ftp program Filezilla' or 'What is the best FTP software?'
-
Good move. Thanx!
-
You don't like bots starting threads about lesbian sex? ???
-
Darn. I thought this was going to be a reminder to check out the forum search to see if someone already started a thread on your earthshattering news you came to share. ;)
-
no its great idea how to stop bots! Thanks
-
I didn't realize how bots were until I built a simple guestbook page on my website. I had to go back in today and add a little validation process. I hope it's good enough - I've been getting slammed with bot entries.
-
I am here and not queer ;D
I doubt you'll be here for long if you behave as you did elsewhere.
-
mike, just chill and be entertained !
-
thanks for the info, couldn't work out what was wrong.
-
This must be as good a place as any to advance up from lurker status. Thanks for the heads-up.
-
this is the answer I was looking for..
-
So now I can start a thread right?
First post ;)
-
That's really smart anti-bot protection actually.
-
It is nice to start here with my first post ;)
Well Hello all!
Some of you might know me from other agencies, and some will get to know me sooner or later :)
So, this was just my introduction to microstock group.
See you around!
-
Sorry , wrong topic
-
Thanks, now I can start a new thread.
-
Ah...I have a question!!
-
:Dhello this is my first time here i hope for lots o inspiration.
-
Ahhh, makes sense (hi everybody)
-
Good idea ... can i post now? 8)
-
that's why???
I was going to lose my mind while searching for "new topic" button
-
Hello guys, this is my first post.. nice to see you here..
-
Thanks - just answered my question!

Hi, I'm 3rd year photography student currently writing my dissertation. In it I am including a discussion about microstock photography, does anyone mind if I make a new thread asking for comments and opinions from members as part of my research?
-
feel free to start a thread.
-
my question answered on the first forum. thanks :)
-
Thanks
-
Another useful spambot check..
-
I just registered and this is my first post. I have been following the Microstock Group for some time and greatly appreciate all the shared information. I've been meaning to sign up and join in so today is the day. By the way, I have been making 100% of my living from shooting stock for the last 15 years and got involved in microstock one year ago.
-
welcome here :) Nice portfolio by the way. It isn't hard to tell it wasn't your first year doing this :)
-
Members who are 'lurkers' (those who have less than one post) are not able to start new threads. This is an effort to cut down on spambots.
Been going around and around MSG, wondering why I can't start a thread. Just read the above, so hopefully now that I've posted this, I can start a thread and I can stop hitting my laptop.
-
That's a great idea! Spam has become a huge problem everywhere on the web.
-
hi hi ... am newbie :D
-
this forum is cool in the sense that there is a freedom to express your views without getting ex-communicated like some other forums (no need to mention, most of you already know them). we have an amazing bunch of pros and cons and our bitch is obvious, and yes, at times can get furious (throwing everything at each other from baseball bats... shucks, no pun intended... to your mammy's old shoes) ;D
but as soon as you get someone pimping their images or trying to use this is a commercial launchpad to fatten their wallets, you can see us all joining forces to make fun of it. sure, we do pimp our own images once in a while, but we know it's going to be pointed out and we laugh together at our shameless deeds.
still, this is where we meet. the only thing missing here is the real ale and good looking waitresses. but other than that, we got a good pub here. welcome to you new people.
-

Well put, but I would like to request good looking waiters to bring me my ale ;)
-
I'm always sitting in the dark corner, smoking a cig, with all my secrets. Sometime people come to my table, so don't be shy :D
-
lol, man I was confused then ;D
Thanks!
-
Hey all, just another newbie, and I am a complete novice. I just get lucky sometimes and the lord blesses me with an awesome shot here and there. Look forward to learning and growing. ;)
-
Welcome, and good luck! :)
-
Hey! I'm a reeeeal person! Quite new to stock photography (and photography in general...) but I ain't no bot!
PS: looking forward to being a part of the forum, it seems super informative currently :)

bonjour :) new here and new to stock :)

bonjour :) new here and new to stock :)
Welcome, let us know if you have any questions or where you should start.
-
I guess that's me done too.
-
I'm excited to finally be a member! I've been "lurking" for awhile but finally decided to join now that I'm starting to submit illustrations into micro. I have a background in illustration and design but am totally new to the microstock world so I look forward to getting some tips and advice from y'all!
-
good luck and welcome here
-
Let's get started!

Thanx

Hello and thank you for explaining what I must do to start a new thread.
I also want to say I have found this website / forum very helpful over the last few days, as I have been lurking and reading. I have learned a lot about the new venture I am about to start, as I am totally new to stock photography.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
-
So all I have to do is reply to this thread and *presto!* I can start a new thread? ;D
-
Thank you, after now it will be work... :)

hey welcome all, we were all newbies once...
pull up a chair and bring your own pint , as leaf does not supply any.. ::)
and remember... if you must fight, fight hard... but fight fair ;)
-
welcome here!
Yeah, well put Perseus - we WERE all newbies once. I should dig up that thread that had quotes from the big microstockers when they were just beginning. I only remember one of the quotes which was from Yuri asking how to keyword images :)
edit:.. found it.
How do I apply keywords in photoshop?
Something about a file to add..
And how do I get these keywords added to the SS upload area?
http://submit.shutterstock.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7911&highlight=#7911 (http://submit.shutterstock.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7911&highlight=#7911)
and, in regards to total October sales (2005)
Seles are going great.
This month: 640 DL with 440 pics. NICE!

no problem tyler, you owe me a pint of Guinness. ;D
also it's interesting to read those quotes from Yuri .
i don't feel so bad now, still being an idiot at keywording ;
at least i knew how to embed keywords in PS when i submitted my first submission :D
-
Thanks Leaf.....I didn't even know you could keyword in photoshop. I always used Capture to do multiple keywording. Nice to know I don't have to mess with that anymore....I know I sound stupid, please forgive me
-

no kidding Vonkara.
I wonder, ... 640 dls with 440 pix.
I wonder when did Yuri begin to really get to be a hot seller.
Did he become a big seller really quick?
-
Hi to everyone! I hope this now makes me legal, and now when i have something to say i can post in the forums.

Thanks for the head's-up. I was wondering why I couldn't post a new topic.

Lets see if I can start new topic now :)
-
Hopefully now I can start a new thread :-)

Hi microstockers, I just want to say Hello to Everyone

Hi, I'm 3rd year photography student currently writing my dissertation. In it I am including a discussion about microstock photography, does anyone mind if I make a new thread asking for comments and opinions from members as part of my research?

-
groovy ;D
-

-
OK, I am new here, but not new to Stock. I have been at it for 5 years now and I am looking for some advice as I really start to focus on my Stock images as a true business. Thanks!
-
OK so will post first one and say big HI to everyone from sunny Malta! Now i need to figure out how i include an image into a threat, but kids just went to bed so have a few hours to spare...

When posting if you click the 'additional options' link below the typing area you can upload an image directly into a post. Otherwise if you want to link an image on another website you can use the img tags like this.
[img] PUT THE WEBSITE ADDRESS TO YOUR IMAGE HERE [/img]
or you can just put the link in your post, then select it, then click on the image icon when you are posting (third one from the left) and it will add the img tags for you.
-
cool, *now* I understand (I was going bonkers here ;)
-
hello everyone,
seems this is the ok place to make the first post, right? :)

This is the answer I was looking for, how about inform new users about this?

yeah, it probably wouldn't be so dumb to do that. But on the other hand, it is nice to keep the spammers guessing :)

Thanks!

Thank you for posting this, I hope my posts in future are helpful to your members.

I just spent a few very frustrating mins trying to figure this out...pretty stupid rule, especially for those of us that have folios linked and are registered in the rankings for iStock & Dreamstime...

+1 Linda. It is always helpful when admins get involved directly here. It cuts through some of the speculation about what our agencies are doing. Regards, David

Another first post to unlock new threads

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Hello, first post....
-
Hello to all. Great forum.
-
Duh! I made a poll, I hope it doesn't count as spam because I had to post a link
-
Great, thanks for your answer!! I am adding this post now, hopefully I can start a thread after that. Cheers, Helena
-
thanks
-
Hi everybody. I am a new member here.
-
welcome here everyone. I just installed a new anti-spam thing so hopefully we can get rid of this 'no started new posts' thing.

I am not a spambot. I am not a spambot. I am not a spambot.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
I am Human. I am Human. I am Human. :P
Well, that's that then. Having proved I'm not a Spambot, does anyone want to buy some special cream ;D
Actually I honestly appreciate and understand the reason for the security. I'm in search for advice on finding an outlet/s for a single image, which isn't a photograph. And that's the problem. It's a JPEG and something I created in Photoshop.
I'll post my request for advice elsewhere.
Beep. Beep. Beep...

Hi everybody
I am Stewart Ben Scott but my nickname is Art Ben Co ----> Stew(art) (Ben) S(co)tt
Just thought I would clear that up. I don't often use that alias anymore but its my username on Istock so I have kept it for that purpose. I would just like to introduce myself and say hit to everyone.
I love photography, photoshop and digital art. I have been a photographer for almost 6 years now going professional since march this year. I have an extensive portfolio of varied subjects. I cant really pigeon hole my work as it is so varied. I am currently working on a blog feel free to check it out www.fablephotos.co.uk/wordpress (http://www.fablephotos.co.uk/wordpress) it would be great to have some feedback.
-
hi guys.. would like to indtroduce myself.

-
Hi. A newbie here. Just starting off in microstock. I have had a few images accepted but numerous photos rejected. I am looking to really improve. Thanks.
-
Good info. Newbie here.
Wish to truly have discussions about microstock that can not be done at the stock agencies sites.
regards,
-
I AM A NOOB. When i look in the mirror, i'm fairly sure i'm NOT a spambot.
I've been a lurker on this site forever. I want to jump in to MS but i have questions that can hopefully be answered here. or not. THANKS ROGER
-
With this post I hereby claim elevation from lurker to newbie.
Right, I'm off to start a million new threads.
(What do you mean I'm banned already?)

I've started a new thread before but for the life of me, I can't figure it out again. Where is the new topic button?
-
OK...editing my last post to say that I did stumble across the new thread button, but only because I got dumped there after posting on an existing thread. How do you navigate directly to the page where the new thread button is? I've read through the Newbie thread a few times and do not see it stated clearly. Sorry...just frustrated with time lost searching.
-
Well that solves that problem ;D Thanks

Go to "Forum," choose which category you'd like to post under, and at the top right you'll see a button that says "New Topic."

Thanks Karimala....I've tried that a zillion times. Let me try and post a screen shot...what am I missing? (and red faced...I just realized I posted the PS/amputee thread in Newbie by accident...because I never could get how to start a new thread in general.)
Hmmm....can't see how to upload an image...I guess it has to be image hosted first?

Yeah, the trick of having to post once isn't very common but appears to help lots with spammers. Sorry for the troubles.

If it stops the bots...
-
took me awhile to figure it out...thanks!
-
I get it now, too.
-
Thanks leaf
-
thanks!
-
Took my a couple days to figure this one out :) I can post now :D

yeah, the answer :)

thanks for letting me know

first post but long time lurker 8)
-
Newbie-land ... better start posting.
-
Thanks very helpful!! :D
-
This is my attempt at a post so that I can start a new thread. I nearly tore my hair out trying to find how to post a question before I saw this.
-
Ok I need to ask something...
-
Thank you leaf, this is very helpful!!
-
ping, would have made it its own post but i can't as i have a no post ranking............what's this W8-BEN tax nonsense? Do I have to submit one for every agency obviously other than istock and shutterstock.

you can start a new thread now that you've made a post
-
Understood now. Thanks.
-
Thanks for the advice :-)

Aha! so that's the secret. I am not a bot, though a boyfriend who couldn't get my attention once complained that when I die they will cut me open and find a silicon chip where my heart should be. I gave up the boyfriend and kept the computer. :) So now I'm off to research a question and quite possibly start a thread.
-
ahh i see, here by my first post, was already freaking out about not finding the start new thread button ;-)
-
Thanks, I am now free to post :)))
-
Thanks for that info
Great information here in general - I certainly have some questions but I'll do heaps of searches for the answers first before I put them out there!

Hi there.
Thanks for the valuable info.
I really appreciate your efforts to stop those bots.

Hi friends
this is my first thread here. I have followed yours from a long time. You help me a lot! Thanks!
RM,RF,Exclusivity,EL Ufff! Basicaly I know the difference between all those concepts, well I think so...?
Sure you have the answer to my questions:
Can you submit a RM file to more tham one agency or you need to go necessary exclusive for this. For example go to Alamy and PantherMedia at same time...?
I have a few photos that maybe someone would consider (with a lot of love) artistic shots, I mean "overfiltered" blurs ... Where you would submit them?
-
How to start a new thread, can someone please help.
-
Here I am, world. Glad I can start a thread about a business that repeatedly steals images. Thank you, creators of this forum.

Im ok with that.

Hello, my name is Rana and I am doing research on the availability of photos about everyday people, not professional models. I also would like to know how many microstock photographers have images not submitted of minorities, the homeless, the underserved, etc. as opposed to shiny happy perfect people that I've seen inundating the current sites. I will be starting a thread about this subject if I don't find a current one. Thanks!
-
thanx :D
-
thanks
-
Great idea on the one post rule. I run a forum on another topic and have been blasted with bots. I'm running IP board but am thinking of changing over to vbulletin.

Thanks!

Hi
I am new to stock photography and right now trying to understand and gather information. I have also started uploading on some of the sites.
This is the first post that I have opened after registering. And what stuck me that the newest posts are at the end. I wish they were at the first page and the oldest posts were at the last page.
What say ?

Thanks for the information. This is my first time here. I've been dabbling in microstock for almost a year and have not had any success yet. I just downloaded the book by Rob Sylvan, Taking Stock: Make Money in Microstock Creating Photos... I'm hoping with that book and this forum I can learn a lot and turn that around.

thanks.

Firstly, welcome to the forum.
If you want to connect to other new users, you can check out the *newbies only* forum area here
[url]http://www.microstockgroup.com/[/url]**newbies-only**/ ([url]http://www.microstockgroup.com/[/url]**newbies-only**/)
In regards to starting threads, members who are 'lurkers' (those who have less than one post) are not able to start new threads. This is an effort to cut down on spambots.
Once you have made one post, your status is upgraded to 'Newbie' and you can start your own threads.
Also: when you do start a new thread, please give the thread a descriptive subject. If you are going to ask a question, put the question in the subject. A thread that is titled 'a question for you' or 'I am having problems' is not helpful and will probably not get a very good response. Instead try 'I am having problems with my ftp program Filezilla' or 'What is the best FTP software?'
understood, totally -- I mean, for the spambots portion of which we have more than enough ourselves on our own (significantly smaller-than-Microstockgroup) websites out there...

Lex, it is not correct.
I am several years already here. I had some cases when it was better to start a new thread, but never ever it was allowed. I had advises from other microstockers that person even with multiple posts should send a demand e-mail to support first. This corresponds to cases when absolutely new person could receive possibility to create a new thread

Kind of slow loading, but I got there. Oh x deselects words instead of adding them. Oops. Odd, but of all the words, I only wanted six and not the other 30, so to pick words, I would need to remove 30 irrelevant words and keep the six I wanted? Maybe I missed some other way to select, instead of backwards, pick the words you don't want?
I will say, however you are reading data, it's up to date. I checked a few words for a subject and you have an image I uploaded this month, row one too!
Nice effort.

It seems like I can't start a new thread even though I have a couple of posts, any idea why ?

You have 6 posts and a status of "Newbie" so I think you should be able to create new threads.
However, Leaf has been making changes to try and halt the flood of spam, so it's possible there's an error somewhere. You might want to contact him (via the contact link at the bottom of each page) to ask him to check on your account.

Hello all. Have been a lurker for many years, just created this account due to the major changes at Pond5 and the possibility of the forums being closed there due to mass contributor negativity. Hoping there are alternatives out there, I think a lot of previously loyal Pond5ers will be looking as well. Cheers to better days ahead.

I was able to post once, and I can't anymore. The Create Topic button is gone for me :-\

Hoping there are alternatives out there, I think a lot of previously loyal Pond5ers will be looking as well. Cheers to better days ahead.
I also contribute to Pond5, never used their forums. What major changes and issue are you talking about ? "contributor negativity" ?
I must have missed that.

I must have missed that.
I recommend checking out the Pond5 forums if you're a contributor, but the latest change was a drop from 50% to 35% contributor share for all audio and a complete shutdown of communication with the artists. Before that, random $50/$80 price caps on customer search results, excluding clips above those prices. Before that, misinformation about the exclusive program and a drop from 50% to 40% for non-exclusive video...
-
The pond5 forums have always been extremly open and artist friendly.
What happened? Does the place have new owners??
All I keep hearing is that many artists put a lot of work into going exclusive with them and deleting portfolios elsewhere and now abruptly their sales have dropped 80%.
msg is a very open place with an open discussion culture. Not very PC..-but very straightforward...
Otherwise you can always open a facebookgroup and invite who you want to talk to.
But msg is independent, so you are welcome here.
I do hope they keep their forums.
If you ban discussions, you ban reality.
Without reality a business dies...

Hello guys, I just made this post to say "hi" and to be able to evolve from a lurker :D
-
can I start a new thread?
-
Glad to be part of the site
-
That explains the reasoning well so I will start to make posts before starting a new thread
-
Good idea ... can i post now? 8)
-
Good way to stop lurkers. No one wants to be a lurker. Me neither :o
-
New user, answered my question!
-
I am going to reply this to see if I can start a thread.
-
New user willing to start a new thread
-
My first post then :)
-
I just registered here and I cannot figure out how to start a post. I'm pretty tech savvy but I do not see a "start new post" button. I'm about to give up and go away. Can someone help?
-
Thank you. I was looking for this answer.
-
Thanks for the information. I need to reply to this topic to create a new thread. See you later after I acquire the Newbie status.
-
Newbie status, please!

Hi!
Can anyone explain how I can insert a picture and a link into my new thread? I'm newbie, I can create a text, but when I place a link it is not active so other users cannot click it. How I can solve this problem?
Thanks!

You need to make more posts before your links are active.

Thanks didn't know that. :)

Thank you for letting me know too.

Thanks. I am a longtime lurker and want to post something so here's my first reply...

Ok, ready to go from Lurker to New Member!

Newbie here! Still can't figure out a way to start new threads. Hopefully it will work out!

That is good question. Moderator is set this option. But it is a good, because here we can't see spam.
-
So glad I saw that! I could have been a member for 5 years and never posted a thing otherwise. Can't wait to post now!
-
Hmm, so does posting to this thread qualify as one post?
-
I just registered here and I cannot figure out how to start a post. I'm pretty tech savvy but I do not see a "start new post" button. I'm about to give up and go away. Can someone help?
How do I post here? I don't see a new topic thread?
-
So, by my reckoning, if I reply to this thread, then I get the famed Newbie crowning. Will I get to learn the secret handshake as well?

Hi all,
Please, help a newbie. Not a spambot.
Can you please tell me if I can post a message (and where?) about the sale of a vector portfolio? Implied complete copyright transfer for all images and accounts transfer on all microstock sites. Thanks.

Yeah. First post here.

awesome, thanks :)

This is just to get me started!

Hello!
I am Nuno from Portugal and I started in microstock more than 10 years ago.
This is my first post here and I will create a thread to present a work in progress project based on microstock, to help an organization who cares of impaired and disable people, near the place where I live.
Thanks!
I wish you all a Happy New Year!
Kind regards,

Hi everyone,
new on the forum as a member, but I have been a longtime reader. I am a self taught photographer, working for several sites like SS, iStock, Getty and the likes. After a long absence due to sickness, I'm trying to get back to work as good as I can. But finding myself on a crossroad, should I continue micro stock or change my path to fine arts photography.
I got so much helpful info from this forum already, when I started out as a photographer. Maybe the answer to finding my new path can be found here :)
-
Thanks for the info!

First post here !

Thanks for the info! Just registered for becoming a member but long time lurker here.. :P

Hello,
I have a problem with deep meta, when I uploaded my vectors I see them as pixel image in website when I stock accepted them, probably the name files were different,
but deep meta should warn me. My question is how can I understand my vector file added in deep meta properly? I am new here I couldn't find a way to open a new post excuse me.
I would be glad if you can answer my problem. Thanks
-
First post. Hello to all from !

It makes sense
-
Thank you for clarifying the rule.
It could be a good idea to update the help section regarding what is really required for posting.

i'm already selling my stock images but for i'm working on some new artistic prints and i need licensed images i can't shoot where i live now and because of Covid-19 limitations it's still not easy to move abroad so the cheapest option is buying EL stock images, simple as that.

Oh you can buy them, that's OK!
-
Oh you can buy them, that's OK!
That's what i was trying to discuss here but i can't even open a new topic.
I'm doing a set of collages each made of minimum 5-6 different objects and a maximum of 40-50, all cutout from my own images, but in many cases i need other stuff (an iconic monument, the face of a specific ethnicity with their local dress and in a specific lighting, rare objects that i can't find here) that i don't have in my archive so the only option is buying them with EL licence but it's overkill to pay 30-40$ each considering i need many of them and in the final composite they will just take a small space, i cannot post an example but basically the central subjects of my composites are the faces of girls i shot here surrounded by several other objects, most of them are also blurred or faded and barely visible so the price/performance ratio is definetely not worth it in my opinion, the only solution i see is buying the cheapest EL Subscription for 70-80 images/month but i'm open to other legal options if you know any.

Hi everyone! I'm new here.
I know I can't make threads yet until I make a post in someone else's thread. I did so yesterday and am still waiting on a mod to approve it. I suppose I'll now be waiting again for this post to be approved. :P
Anyway, I'm new to both this site and to stock photography (and photography in general)! Wish me luck--because it's pretty overwhelming out there, haha.
-
I'm still a newbie but hopefully can post soon as this certainly looks to be far and away the best site for microstcok advice

Hi, I'm new to this site, I'm into stock photography

I still can't create a new topic.

How long do you normally have to wait before you can post?
That would be a good information to add to the original post.

to create a new topic select "forum" at the top after "home" ,next to your username,then choose the section for the new topic,for example,"General-top sites" or "Adobe Stock",and then once in the dedicated section there will be the "new topic" button on the top.
"lurkers" members cannot start new threads,I don't remember if 1 or 10 posts are enough.

Took me a while to find this thread :)
Simple and easy approach to combat spam - and it seems to work!
