As I see it, there looks to be 4 or 5 saleable images in the batch.

Saleability, along with the obvious other things, will count for a lot in your submission, as SS will see you are capable of producing images that can sell.

Also, if you are selling successfully on other sites, do let them know where you are submitting,

I totally agree.

All images should be taken at face value.
Where they are coming from should have no bearing.
The trouble is reviewers can see who a certain batch belongs to.

It should not matter how many pictures are in queue, it should not matter how many are in batch. Reviewer should see pictures as end-user does, randomly from different contributors and judge them one at the time. This how it should be in ideal world but I agree that in reality large batches or series are disadvantageous.

I'm not sure about the font.
Not that comfortable with it.

I suppose it takes the eyes a little time to adjust.

I'm beginning to expect Zero days at weekends.
The odd weekend you might escape with 1 or 2 downloads.

I wouldn't be so sure of making a full time living from this.

Microstock for contributors gets more competitive every day and many forum posts report declining sales.
However if your work is good you're well on the way.

Good luck to you!

I've been making quite some money on the side, especially considering my rather small portfolio. SS had been the #1 income since I started and it still is.

Right now (after about a year of micro) I would not be able to make it my fulltime job but who knows what it is gonna be like after 2 or 3 years..

Due to consistently dismal sales, I haven't uploaded to a particular site for a number of months now.
This site is outside the "Big 6" and also "Up & Coming".
Since stopping, my sales have ceased also.
The thing is, I'm not too far off my first payout.
If I decide to close my account of course I will forfeit my current balance.

Is that what they are waiting for? - Yes - it's one way of making money for them. Get fed up, stop uploading and quit.

The integrity of sites was recently touched on here at MSG and I feel it's something we all should keep an eye on.

After all, we upload with blind faith and hope and trust we will get a fair deal.

Have you a similar experience of this? or what are your views.

Personally, I don't find DT down very often - if it is, it's usually for maintenance.

Pulled out just recently - not the place for my images.
Sales so very low!

Congrats Fran!

But I'm not sure what you mean about the 70% !!

Do you mean not reaching it ever??

I always have - don't think it can be any harm to select what you think is best.

Like so many, will be happy that the hols are almost over.
Bring on the downloads!

Just wondering what type of images are selling at Cutcaster.
If anyone who had sales could post a link or two.
