Title: Who still has a high acceptance rate?
Post by: Semmick Photo on April 03, 2015, 06:46
I am down to 5% and stopped caring. I am just throwing all I have at the wall there and see what sticks. I am down to 5% acceptance rate, maybe 10% on a good day.

Who still has an high acceptance rate there?

Photodune.

Whereas all other agencies have 80-96% acceptance rate, PD accepts about 5%

I see exactly the opposite.  I rarely ever get a refusal there, even on images that another site has rejected.  Maybe they are after a certain type of image.

The last few times I submitted there it was 100% acceptance for isolations, 0-25% for everything else with 5% probably being about right.  If you want to increase your acceptance rate send them some isolations.  Of course those never sell there so it won't result in sales but at least you won't have as high a rejection rate.  I only keep submitting there because uploads are easy and accepted images do sell but the high rejections is really annoying for a low-selling agency.

What seems to me to be a totally random 5% acceptance what does sneak through seems to sell  :-\

I don`t care about the acceptance rate. I have a lot of identical images. At all agencies there is anyway only a few of each series to be a bestseller. As long as at least some of a series are added everything is ok for me.

The agencies who accepting everything, even if I had forgotten to add keywords, they are just low earners (empirical value)

my acceptance rate there has plummeted aswell. Hard to get anything through, if Shutterstock takes it with 50 million photos I can't understand why photodune would be more picky

I don't remember getting any rejections there but I don't upload often because of their strange system of attaching releases. 

But I am still not sure if I will even keep my port there because of the tax business.

I can't be bothered with photodune I stopped uploading due to  poor sales and poor acceptance rate.

The VAT question and how they handled it convinced me even more.

People with high acceptance, what are you submitting? Hope you dont mind me asking

My acceptance rate is less than 5%. It used to be about 80%. Something clearly changed.

No matter, with their recent tax fraud nonsense I will be gone as soon as I hit payout.

Mix and match studio shots with landscapes, travel, etc, submit all in 1 go and there you go 95% plus acceptance rate. That seems to be working for me at least.

over 90% controlled studio shots. FT is the same - they love studio but once that camera leaves the house my acceptance rate goes from 85% to less than 25%.

Due to physical limitations I cannot go outdoors on trips/hike or even travel with my best camera equipment to include a tripod so I am stuck to my studio...
