i'm thrilled.  They've fartled around and made the stock jump. whoopee. Typical corporate mistaking image for substance. A stock jump won't last unless the company actually does something for it. If Shutterstock doesn't get their machine working properly, the stock will go back down. Sure, it can be fluffed up again by more finagling, but only for so long. It's not a perpetual motion machine. If you keep jiggling it to get better figures, it will eventually break.

Well, I don't think I'll wait for the amount they owe me to get higher... but still not get paid. After all, if I'll give a panhandler a few dollars, I suppose I can let CanStock have a few. I wouldn't want the owner to freeze to death over the winter.

It's only $9, and they're being shirty about it? Things must really be bad.

I will generally stick with a site through periods of low or even no sales, because it's not really any effort to wait. Eventually, most sites will get their act together, and sales will pick up again.
So, I have been uploading new work to CanStock along with my other sites.
Suddenly, I'm getting rejections for inappropriate keywords, and no satisfactory response from support about why.
I am not going expend energy on a dying site to get things accepted without the keywords they need to sell. If I can't label an image about "bad attitude" with "bad attitude", what's the point? That moves the possibility of sale from "unlikely" to "impossible".
It's sad, I have always liked CanStock for some reason.

That time machine was a great investment toward my stock career.

Approved. I thought so.

Heck, for all we know, it's money laundering.

I think what bugs me most about the request for reference images is that we're artists. It's easy to create a "reference image" from the vector illustration itself. What does it accomplish? If something seems to be traced from a photo, sure, ask for the photo for reference. But this? From a photo?  (This one has been accepted on Shutterstock)

Aargh! I've been uploading a new set of vectors all week, all accepted...
today, all rejected
Edges--Paths are sloppy and/or poorly constructed.
Reference Image -- A reference image is required for this image.
All of them.
I'm uploading hundreds of vectors. Shutterstock ain't getting a reference image with each and every one. I get so frustrated with them sometimes, I think of dropping them even if they ARE my best seller.
*grump*
I'm going to resubmit them without changes.

I think you need to start your own thread, and include some samples of your work.

I gave up on Alamy, because they never sold anything, wouldn't defend my copyright, and couldn't get my stuff listed correctly (they kept offering it as RM instead of RF)
If this continues, I may have to go back to them. Maybe they had a coup.

They may be greedy grasping etc but I really don't think Shutterstock is clueless.....I think what tends to be overlooked is the marketing element you can have the best content in the world but if no one knows you've got it its worthless and I suspect if customers of SS start telling them they haven't got the right content they would act
Only if it would make the stock jump.

This should be interesting...

I'm doing all right on DP.

FT will not be interested in that image, no matter what you do to it.

They're trying to go for a different slice of the market.
If they don't want them, they don't want them. No point in whining about it.

I got excited... Opted out.

Do you have safe search on? Or some other filter?

Fotolia aims at a different market. The don't think your image is good for their market.
Don't sweat it, just move on.

Just for everyone's information, people have started multiple resubmissions to SS because their review process has become seriously flawed.
Their sales are still good enough that contributors are still willing to make the effort, but I don't know how long that will last.
This particular image, though, I think isn't quite good enough to be worth the effort. Just not *quite* sharp focus, not *quite* good exposure.
I don't blame you for not believing the SS reviewers, though.

When I upload to 123, I always send them a message saying I have done so.

It's based on Fotolia's model.
With this easy entry, many new submitters will wind up with very small portfolios. Even with the reduced minimum payout, this will mean long periods of Shutterstock getting to keep the royalties for a long time.
Let's face it, punters who can only get one out of 10 will be thrilled to have a few puny sales. "Look, I'm a professional now!"

There's only one way to become a seasoned pro yourself...

Someone ought to update istock's wikipedia page, to include its recent history.
Anyone feel up to that?
