iStockPhoto.com / Vector Exclusitivity - Should I drop it?
« on: January 21, 2013, 10:51 »
I have a portfolio of close to 900 image on istockphoto.com.
http://www.istockphoto.com/search/portfolio/840626/?facets={%2225%22%3A%226%22}#1fae6c1f
Istock used to be the premier site for selling vectors. I've been on the fence for a couple years now about trying other sites. Would you think other sites would be just as difficult as istock? "Difficult" meaning, dropping sales, low visibility, deceiving.
Any thoughts? Shutterstock is working with exclusives right now, so I'm doubly thinking about dropping exclusitivity. I've seen all the google/istock issues, but am just not sure how other sites do with vector art.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Chris3fer
