iStockPhoto.com / Did iStock delete my account

« on: May 03, 2017, 17:38 »

I logged in to my istock account today, my contributor account is gone. When I click on "Sell Stock" it gets me to a sign up page. Any idea what happened there? Did iStock purge all contributors who stopped contributing 2 years ago or something?

General Stock Discussion / What sells, and what doesn't

« on: March 12, 2015, 17:55 »

I know this is a million dollar question, but more specifically what I would like to know is this:
If I run around snapping random whatever and upload for sale, does this random sort of fluff sell much worse than say images that I actually took some thought into making?

iStockPhoto.com / Whats going on with iStock?

« on: March 11, 2015, 12:04 »

I'm stock at iStock. One view on the set of photos I uploaded 2 months ago? Is this for real? While the same photos are selling day by day on Fotolia and Dreamstime, iStock is stock at one view, and no sales. Does anybody else experience such discrimination on iStock?

General Stock Discussion / How many images do I need to have to make say at least $100 a month

« on: July 24, 2014, 16:00 »

I want my images to pay for my monthly coffee tab which is at about $100 a month. Currently I'm a contributor at 4 top microstock places. How many images do I need to have, between the 4 microstock agencies to start making $100 a month. Right now I only have about 50 images in each microstock. Sales are slow, well because I only have 50 images.

General Stock Discussion / Is there a general Model release form?

« on: July 15, 2013, 10:55 »

Is there a one model release form out there that can be used with istock, dreamstime, shutterstock, fotolia and depositphotos? I really dislike the idea of creating a model release form for every microstock I upload to.

Thank in advance
