And it's even not just ticking off or on each of the images, it's also the need to wait for the stupid confirmation box after each tick!
Why "each tick"? There is control panel option to opt-out or opt-in with Partner program for whole portfolio...

I'm opted out too. With StockXpert not paying contributors since the beginning of the month I might be better getting the .25 on istock. At least they pay contributors there.
However I wouldn't even consider it because it is so difficult to opt in.
Not paying? I got my payout in 2 days this month...

I haven't problem with approvals but with sales, yes!

I did my first 10 and they were approved, but as far as I can tell they aren't online. No views and I can't find them in the search. It has been over a week. Is this normal?
Same, no views any more... 255 online 70 rejected ONLY 1 sale

When sales are going well on the SS, on the other agencies usually is very slow, but when goes well on IS, DT, FT, etc., then on the SS is pretty bad ...
Similar experience....?

wrong.
RM == rights managed, it doesn't imply what "right" exactly, it means the buyer can
track who bought that picture before and for what use etc, it doesnt mean it cant
be resold.
and you can sell as RM or L (licenced), not just RM, you can choose
which continent or country to sell, you can sell it "editorial only", and much more.
this is the way everything should be and the way it was before the appearance of micros.
with RF you've no choice on nothing, buyers can do whatever they do, they can pay you 1$
for a cover of TIME magazine or use the image of your wife for advertising an escort service...
If you sold an image (RM), does it still visible in your portfolio and ready to another sale...?

exactly.
too much work, and too few money.
that's why i only sell RM.
if you wait for micros to raise your royalties, hahaha, you'll wait a looong time my dear.
you better stop microing and join some serious RM agency instead.
ask yourself how many pros are selling on micros ?
none, because they have very good reasons.
the biggest stockers all sell RM for a simple reason : it pays the right price
and it pays more, period.
Maybe You have right, but microstock has different license for their users, RM sells "originality", purchased image is only your... Search and needs are not always on originality, but on the brand is much more frequently.... I think that the process of growth of earnings will be faster,maybe it already started...

Always good photo will have price...
But with millions of free photos available - not necessarily "good", but "good enough" for the buyer's purposes...
We aready have Junk Food. Are we entering the era of Junk Images?
Also I can find new cotton t-shirt for 10 $ for me, but my wife will buy 10 times more expensive, because one reason, "name of company" on it... Both are t-shirts...

Wrong, wrong and wrong!
That will never happen...
Always good photo will have price...
wrong.
there's plenty of good photos on micros and they're sold for 5$ each and you
get paid 0.20$ ...
tell me ONE reason they should pay you more than today.
if anything, they'll raise their own commission and lowering yours,
there's 1000s of microstockers knocking at their doors every day,
they're grabbing you by the balls and all you can do is complaining in a forum.
Why more than 80 % of new microstockers never reach first payout? Because they think that too much effort for "too little money".. I future will be 95 %... In every young industry comes to the phase of falling earnings for "workers" , and phase branding and filtering ... In fact ,Professionalism comes in every segment where you can earn money... Follows the phase of establishment and strengthening of "Microstock Photographers Association", and even the establishment of new microstock agencies by "brand microstockers"... After filtering,will come times when microstock agencies will pray you to incorporate your portfolio on their site... One day they will start to offer more and more in percent for every good photographer... Because, with further development of the Internet, you will not need the agency to sell photos and get money,some other services will make marketing for you... Marketing and advertising always need a photography... I saw this steps in some other but similar industries, where afer some period you don't need agencies any more for your business.

From DT forum:
Achilles said:
Don't rush to say it's a big disappointment just because you check the difference for level 1 files. We think that this system rewards older members who provide quality. Check the Excel archives and see how many level 2-5 files you had one year ago and how many you have today. Then see how many downloads you have from those files. You shouldn't count files but downloads.
Second, remember how many downloads were required several years ago for a file to become level 2: 100! Only 5 downloads are required today and there will be less in the future (oops). Remember my previous statements where I was explaining how subscriptions play an active role within our pricing system. Your patience paid off and these count as extra downloads now, while helping them achieve the next level.
Of course that your feedback will be taken into account. We think the system is fair already and we correlate it with our future credits 2009 launch (oops again). Dreamstime is still growing and there are many more things to come. Don't expect to earn a fortune over night and don't think you will lose either. As you can see above, we continue to provide the highest royalties and we'll continue to take care of our contributors.

Congrats borg!
I don't know if I have any sales yet. Too hard to tell. Have a couple hundred photos approved so far.
I love Veer's upload process. Really, really easy and fast. Especially since the limits have been raised.
So far I have my worst acceptance rate there of any site. They seem to be very hard on similars. They are very strict on keywords, so some of my earlier work has required rekeywording for them (not complaining - tight keywords are a good idea). The other thing I noticed is they will reject images showing older technology - cellphones, computers, etc.
Thanks! I have also here my average acc. rate around 75-80 % I notice that Veer likes little bit artistic and conceptual photos...

I think that Mr. Griffin knows what he doing...
Cutcaster is more popular now, and name of the premium collection is only "Betta collection" now.

This software looks pretty good but I tried to use the free trial and it doesn't upload. It just doesn't work. The SS says uploaded but doesn't ever show up. The DT says uploaded but also never showed up and if IS was one of the selected sites the program would just hang there forever until I killed the upload. Two emails to support have been ignored. It's too bad. I was going to buy it but am sort of put off now.
So, if support reads this forum...please help me and maybe sell another copy of your software.
David
I have same problem but with Deepmeta, support can not help much with this problem... They told me that problem is in type of firewall or antivirus program... Prostockmaster works fine to me...
