Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum and also to micro. I've been stuck on how to proceed with building a portfolio on microstock sites, so I'm wondering if some of you vets can help guide me a little.

I signed up on the top few agencies like:

- istock
- shutterstock
- 123Rf
- dreamstime


I'm just wondering how you guys manage to submit your photos to all the agencies when each of their requirement differ so much? I've been reading up about how some agencies prefer people and some others prefer isolation etc.

Do you submit each batch of photos to all the agencies in one go? Some of the photos I submitted were rejected by one agency but picked up by the next. Should I bother fixing the half-reject or focus on just adding more photos?

Also, here's a big one. How do you guys categorize which images were accepted by which agencies and rejected by which? I initially started with Lightroom for this by using color labels but I've signed up with some smaller agencies now and I've run outta color labels

Hope someone can shed some light here. Thanks I'm advance.
