I recommend Twenty20, they are in demand of "people" images, in natural light, i sold a good amount there, you get 2$.
I did not sell anything on eyeem, because only "stock style" images will be sent to partner sites like Getty and Alamy.
So, why they are selecting my pictures to the premium collection?

Different portfolios give very different results.
I would pick a mix of 4-6 different agencies in addition to eyee, and committ yourself to uploading 1500 files in one year.
Upload a large mix of files - lifestyle, food, travel, conceptual. Pay attention to seasonal events. Some very local stuff from your daily life, some very generic files including simple backgrounds.
You have a long learning curve ahead of you if you are seriously interested in making money on a regular basis.
What kind of long learning curve I have to learn?

Hi everyone, I'm uploading my 365 days concept self-portraits challenge to my EyeEm account ( www.eyeem.com/u/_kikero) and my photos are being selected to the premium collection of EyeEm but I would like to know if EyEm is the best solution or if there is another best stock agency to upload my work? Maybe Gettyimages/Istock? Maybe Stocksy? Maybe Pond5? Maybe Adobestock? Give me your honest opinion and thank you in advance.

You have a lot of similars. That limits your portfolio value. And you have squirrels, too 
Hi Mantis, Can you explain me better what you said? Thank you in advance.

Hi microstockers,
Someone can explain me why I'm seeing my 'Downloads Year to Date" increasing but still keep seeing my royalties at zero?
Thank you in advance.

It means that you're appealing to a very small demographic of buyers. Sometimes that's great because if the images are rare then your image is more likely to be selected. However, for both events perhaps there were press photographers already at the events with better angles.
Technically OK means you did a good job with the composition, lighting, focus which isn't easy in low-light conditions at the concert and on a moving boat.
In both events I was one of the press photographers with media credentials because Shutterstock ask for press credentials for some specific events.
About the photo techniques, I agree with you, it is not easy to shoot in low light conditions and to focus when a boat is always going up and down or moving because of waves.
And what about my still product photography? What do you think?

How cool is this, im from Madeira 
And i ask for a photo critique yesterday...
You have a nice portfolio, i am a noob to send you the right way, but im guessing that you are doing something right in order to sell editorials  i never sell one...
Hi xenupy, Are you from Madeira? Really nice to find people of Madeira in microstock Until this moment I thought that I was the only one  (laughing). Would you like to take some shoots together?

Some of your protest stuff is OK but awful captions and key words: "Manisfestation against Brexit and Trump." The word 'manifestation' means something completely different in English. As for keywords, you need to really think harder about what buyers will be searching and "donald", "life" "up" is just spamming.
The sailing and concert are quite niche but technically seem OK. The fact that you failed to put the full name of the singer as a keyword is quite disappointing but you can still go back and insert, if you wish.
Hi Alex, I will follow your suggestions and to change or add better keywords. When you said that the sailing and concert photos are quite niche but technically seems OK, what do you really want to mean? Can you explain me?

How much do you want to earn per month? If $25 to $100 per month is your goal than your portfolio is fine.
Hi, My goal it's to sell about $500 per month. That's why I need the most honest opinions in how to improve to reach that. Can you give me?

Hello microstock community, I started in the beginning of this year in the microstock business. Since then I sold 80 just in Shutterstock, earned about 25 dollars and so far I'm happy about the results. Because of that fact I would like to have the most honest feedback about my work and how I can improve it. https://www.shutterstock.com/g/cicerocastroFeel free to see it and to give me your feedback. Thank you in advance, Cicero.
