So far i`m very pleased with 123 RF. Its a great site and very super easy to upload too.
My sales are starting to pick up over there. I also like its "live chat" feature. I had a few errors in the beginning with my account and the problem was solved immediately using live chat.
It would be nice if all sites could have that live chat function.

Then again...
LOL

Merry Christmas guys!

Sales are slowly picking up for me at Crestock. So far so good i guess

I browsed the site. It looks ok...I`m not sure if i will support the site as of yet.
Seems that there is a new microstock site every week!

I`m not too impressed by the homepage with a woman picking her nose. Don`t get me wrong...i like the concept behind that image and its quite refreshing to see something different ...but
Its just not a good impression, thats all

What is your current review time?

I have a batch sitting there since November 17th!!!

I just had my last batch reviewed!
It took them close to 3 weeks to review them!

Will one of you, that can see the future so well, please give me the winning lottery numbers for Friday night.

Good point Whiz.

I wonder how the Microstock industry will be like in 5 years?



I predict that there is going to be a major price rate change. Starting at $5 per download maybe...?
I wonder if it will still be profitable?


Feel free to share your thoughts and forecast

all i can say is...
wow!! hahahaha

great post.
Thanks for sharing

There is not a whole lot happening at SV at this point. Hopefully things will start to pick up. I`ll give them a few weeks..otherwise i`ll call it quits.
No hope really 

It is painful. I agree!
7 words description is way too much for a photo.
Description should be simple and to the point. Hopefully they will change this.

Anybody else experiencing slow review times @ Stockxpert?
I haven`t had a review yet on my last batch its been 2 weeks.

Same here!!
How can i get one?

T-shirts?
I'm all for that!
How can I get one?

A friend of mine suggested me ProStockMaster.
Is anybody familiar with this program? Is it worth it?

I tried countless of time, trying to get approved at Shutterstock.
I have been accepted at some the Big 6 but for some reason they won`t accept my submission at Shutterstock...

10 of 10 (rejected).

I mean come on! 6 of those image are doing really well at other agencies. What is it that they don`t see?


Anyone else having trouble getting in?

What programs do you use in order to edit, manage keywords (description etc...)
So far i have been using Lightroom for my collection of photos and keywords.
Its really not efficient to use.

Is there a program out there that i could use to manage my workload, besides Lightroom?

What do you guys use for your workflow?

Thanks for the info guys!

why don't you do it in your editing software, whatever you use.  Even the cheap free software will crop.

I already cropped it.
Hopefully that release will work. Otherwise, it will be a pain

Did anybody ever encounter any problems with that release.
I just want to make sure before i start sending them...

Can somebody send me a cropped version of that release?
Thanks a million

Hello guys,

Is there such a thing as a model release form for all the BIG 6.
Is there a place or someone who has one form that agencies will accept?

Its such a drag to make my models sign 8-10  different forms.

Any help?

Thanks in advance

I think most people use the istock release (it requires the most information) then crop the release down so that the istock logos are cropped out when submitting it to the other sites.

I also deleted my account at Canstock last week. Not much was happening there.

Congrats!!

I uploaded my first batch of photos at Albumo last week and i already got a sale.
So far so good i guess...

199 views/ 0 downloads /24 images

To be quite honest, i don`t even know why i`m wasting my time uploading there.
I hope things starts to pick up there.

Crestock is also hiring.

Each site is different.  Some pay by the hour, some pay by the photo, some have quotas, some don't.  Most, if not all, have confidentiality agreements, so reviewers cannot provide the precise information you're looking for, and in many cases cannot even divulge they are a reviewer.  The best way to find out the info you're looking for is to inquire with each site.

Thanks for the info Karimala
