I am glad to offer my services for Keywording, Title and Description. I am active in Microstock market since 2013.

Keywording: A CSV file will be provided. You can give me thumbnail images of lower quality. I will keyword each of them and export the keywords in CSV format. I use Shutterstock template. I can use the template you wish. I can write titles and descriptions as well. You just need to import CSV file and you are done. I can also add the metadata to the images along with the CSV if you send me final or original images.

You can search me on all major stock agencies with keyword: Promicrostockraw

Free Trial for Keywording, Title and Description for 20 Images/Videos. The Rate is $0.25 Per image/Video. It includes title, description and keywords. I can turn around quickly and meet your timelines/deadlines. PM me for more details.

This is frustrating as Nothing seems to work for uploading the CSV file. I tried the format from sample for CSV metadata file. Tried to apply meta data from CSV file. I get option to upload but nothing happens after that. I tried the other buggy software called deepmeta. The documentation says you can upload CSV file along with your main files. This is false too. Deepmeta does not accept CSV file for videos. Am I missing something here. Any help or direction is helpful.

I am experiencing upward sale on depositphotos this month. It used to sell few images a month. But this month seems far better than anyone month before. I have close to 6000 images in my portfolio there.

Is anybody else getting the prompt to Syncing Adobe ID with your Fotolia  on adobe stock id. Looks like the adobe stock and my fotolia id are not in sync now. I enter my fotolia login and password, I am getting "account is in already use". and it comes back to login dialog boxes again. Anyone else or just me having this issue?

Please recommend any camcorder or video camera for 4K. I already have a DSLR, shooting video with that is problem with the Battery. My DSLR shoots only HD. Looking for something not very expensive, the beginners budget or medium size cost.

Is there a way to submit the multiple files from unfinished area. I have over 600 images waiting in unfinished area. The category needs to be there in each and it seems it has to be put manually in each file.

Any idea or any work-around friends here ?

Need your advise and guidance.

I have good portfolios with 10 agencies which are doing fairly well with periodic returns. I am thinking of having exclusive and non-exclusive portfolios with istock, dreamstime and others. Can an individual operate like this or better a business given a name legally can operate with two portfolios. Has anyone tried.

I see with DT, it is the contract of photographer being exclusive not portfolio, so may be I would need another person to sign-up as exclusive as I am already non-exclusive there.

If it works, the business can expand and can have benefits of both being exclusive and non-exclusive. I have resources and means to setup two different production units. 

Please share your views. Highly appreciated.

My portfolio is showing only March Sale in earning summary. There is no payment information. Anyone else is also experiencing the same?

It seems interesting to see how DP is going to get more sales with this investment and as it is saying, it would challenge the giants.

I got accepted at SS today. I had been trying since 2013 or so. Failed several times, came back silently, improved, learnt better ways, went back, failed again. In recent last two months the acceptances started to come for few images. Built on empirical knowlege, finally got 8 selected out of 10.  I am in now. Feels good. Now, I am with all major agencies in the business. Journey to reach SS improved my skills with images.

I like to thank the members here who answered my questions in PMs and many others who shared their knowledge and encourged. My gratitude and best regards.  I will keep on learning and improving.

Should audio be part of video or not? Like the videos of birds flying, cats playing, or boats faraway, the camera system would pick the background noise and unrelated chatter. Should the video be silent or still there needs be some sound bites? Please suggest what generally you do. Are videos without sound accepted by agencies?

I thought several times over the current situation across various agencies. Sales are all time low now everywhere.  The dismal state points to an interesting factor; the low earner sites are selling more images these days than top agencies.

It looks like there is a new king somewhere in the form of new best selling agency. My question is, is there an agency which we are yet to discover and is taking away all the sales which has dried across well known agencies. There must be an answer.  Are deep discounts somewhere driving the customers to polarization to various poles. May be some of us established and new artists have some reasonable answers. World still needs images and it is buying but from where?

I am experiencing odd and no results. For past months at IS, the downloads were ok and visible on various pages. The sales could be seen. But something happened after 31st May, I got Zero sale for June. Nothing reported for this month yet.  Am I only experiencing this or there are many people.  Is there any info.  Portfolio size 554.

Are the friends here also experiencing the low volumes of sales on various stock sites. August was better and for september, just 2-3 sales only. Past one week is absolutely silent. Is it just a normal tide or the numbers are hitting real hard this time.  I have 700+ on 123rf, 650+ on DP,  109 on FT, 92 images on DT and similar numbers on other sites.

I have two rejections for initial contributor application in last six months. My next turn comes on 19 August. My question is what sort of time frame SS follows for applications. Is it like IS where every failed attempt offers you problems for next and it becomes extremely difficult? Does SS has standard one month or something like that specified period for next application or it will become one year ban after few failed attempts?

IS offered me six months of ban and I cannot apply there. My worry is SS may fall in same space.

Has anyone got any sale to report from Stocksy? Their operations are in function now and it is live now. Some people have begun to report the initial status updates as they have uploaded the images there. I checked at least two. So far so good.

Is money coming? Is there any sale so far?

--PS

I am thinking of joining istock. I am reading the threads in various forums including MSG and at istock as well. Some people at istock say, it is perfectly fine while the members here are offering different views. So, that creates a situation which keeps new members away from istock.

What is the advice of seniors here. Should I wait further or I should join istock now?

I experienced it recently. I submitted batch of 38, 16 and 11 images to DT, DP, 123rf, FT.   Except FT, all other sites are running very slow in terms of review times. Some of the uploads date back to 18th Jan,  The files are pending and status does not change. or sites are picking up fewer files to review and while others are just pending.

Whole this market of Microstocks removed fear from my mind.  Now I know two or three things which keep me cool. First, upload and forget.  Second, Never mind rejections, some sites are picky and choosy while others are liberal. Third, do your job nicely and improve.

The last, just go on uploading.

I began with FT recently. So far, Whatever I have submitted have be rejected.  I am wondering whether everyone experiences it with FT or just my pics are having issues.

Now, I have submitted fresh 18 pics to FT, DP, DT, MP, 123rf. Everyone gets the same images there.  Let's see how it goes.
