i had one sale last year of a print, 2.95 dollars but when i asked them why i didnt receive the money on the paypal they told me the sale was under 20 dollars.so that means they are like other agencies you get a payout if you reach 50 bucks for eg?

you cant take pics of the city anywhere in the world specially stunning cityscapes like they are asking you to and not post them as editorial.Even in the parks and with no people you post them as editorial.
this only works if you take pics from an exotic island from a very distance, or use a drone, or if you take pics of empty streets  but no buildings aside.
so the  we are lookin for tourist attraction thing from them but commercialy only, doesnt make any sence.
UNLES UNLESS. if you make a big production like a steven speilberg movie,hire actors and extras,built two houses in new york like james cameron built the titanic again for the titanic movie and spent millions of bucks and post them as commercials and they will finally get accepted and you will receive,,,,,,, 24 p    

i am kinda new to all this video thing and i didnt wanna start with the stock sites yet anyway the amount of what they are payin i guess is better than the 4 or 5 bucks you receive from the stock sites ecxept pond 5
i am just asking if anyone is using this site as an alternative

anyone knows how to find this buyer? i have a proposition to make

well you can sell them as editorial if you are not sure.the second one i dont think you need a releash unless it was in a private property.many pics on these sites are similar to yours.

My big sale was from an iPhone 5  so who cares anymore.

or tbey decided to try something new.

500px lol

they went to work for the national geographic

unfo i ve heard many times and even on their forums the sales are not good there.unless you are superpromoting your work.and yes as i ve seen so far all these years landscapes and travel photos sell 

yeah but same things happens and to other agencies.unless you decide to quit microstock and go for your own out there in the cruel world 

hi i applied 2 years ago in ss but they rejected me unfo.recently i tried to apply again  and i send 10 pics for review.thing is i didnt hear for them but today when i logged in to my account i saw i had 2 rejections and the funny thing is that the one image rejection was for the caption thing.i didnt give  too much details for the picture apparently .Now when i go to my other remaining 8 photos i still see them and i have to press again the submit buttor for review
the thing is the first time they send me an email that bla bla you didnt pass the test <not that i agreed with the rejection reasons but anyway>now becouse i didnt receive an email, do i need to  apply and the rest photos for review or choose another photo to replace the one in my other 8 photos?. also i dont get with the caption rejection they could approve my image   and told me to edit again for the caption .this was suppose to be a sort of  test.
Edit
 i didnt see the caption thing and i gave only the description and title i guess thats why the rest of 8 pics remaining there.
just one question if they reject you and the 10 pics i highly doupt thats gonna happen, but who knows,, you can constantly apply a new banch of images?the 1 month waiting period is over?
thanks

when i try to upload a photo to zoonar nothing happens there is a small x mark on top of the image is in que and the pic wont load.is it  i am doing something wrong?
also another thing is i am ok with rejections i am used to them, though i dont agree on them, but i dont see where the rejected images are and the reason for the so called technical problems

That was an interesting read.  I still haven't heard back from my initial application to Stocksy and haven't bothered trying again.

Honestly, I doubt that a new application at Stocksy would be successful. Actually there haven't been many new members recently. Maybe next year.

But there is Offset, 500px, EyeEm, Alamy; all of them non-exclusive and Offset the only among them with curation, so you can easily distribute images across all of those. I am also seeing regular (though not big) sales on Twenty20, and with Foap, Markedshot, Snapwire etc. there are also a couple of "mobile" platforms (I put mobile in quotes because they have no problems accepting DSLR images).                                                                                  hi one question do you make money with markedshot? i have a small portfolio there but i dont want to upload more pics there if the sales are not good
