What are the chances of mobile phone photos being sold on SS?

Wrong question. The question should be: What are the chances that mobile phone photos will be accepted? And the answer is: There is almost no chance!

Wrong answer.
Yes, Can be accepted if is good.

I guess anyone who has portfolio there should be very careful with any possible payment delays. They surely don't act like normal stock agency now.

I never have problem with payments up to today , only problem I have right now I wait over moth for approval for last footages.

Today is monday and my sales at FT are below sunday sales. Do u have normal sales today at FT?

Tnx for answer, anybody ...

I am in normal ,,0,, sales today on Fotolia.

I was there three years ago and had high hopes for images.  If you search on "Gatlinburg Tennessee" on SS you only get 630-some images.  Seems like a very low number for a place that sees more than 10 million tourists a year.  Many of mine are on the front page of the search but sales are very slow.  I would just go enjoy it and not worry about it too much unless you see something really interesting - maybe a bear wandering through town or something like that.  The view from Clingman's Dome is very nice and you can get aerial-ish views of the town from the space needle or whatever it is called.  However, it vibrates a bit from the elevator and people walking around so can be hard for focus.  I thought there would be decent sales potential but my results were very disappointing.  Just drink some moonshine and enjoy it!

sgoodwin4813 thanks for respond, I read it to late after my return. I have absolutely same filing like you. I have couple nice pic but I fill more unhappy than happy from this photo trip. When I stop at Clingman`s Dome it was very fogy and visibility maybe 100 yards.I like  also Cades Cove area. This is not my best photo trip, I  do not know also why is this park with this big tourist number so popular. 

If you could add just ONE more feature to your camera body, that would be?

....just curious ;-)

Self uploading images to stock 

Thanks Desintegrator and Irina Anosova

Sorry for confusing you, I mean deleting submissions in the inspection queue?

That means they are being rejected. Pond 5 is now not allowing in everyday footage, only high end stuff and, supposedly, stuff that they are short of in their collection. I stopped uploading there when I had 110 videos rejected.

For sure I will not support Pond 5 with unusual or high end video in future. I think I will follow you soon. To much work for nothing ;(

Hmm,  looks like Pod 5 want be Pond 0 good luck with deleting  , thanks to all other stocks for accepting all you delete    ;(

I would always keep 2 backups of everything. 2 different external hard drives with the same set of data. 3TB portable hard drives are so cheap these days. Your time is clearly more important than $100.

Wow, buck up for buck up - buck up. Hmmm, funny Do you have time for living? Just kidding

Depends on how much you make on the image.  I might sell an image that makes $50 a year for that but would keep one that was making $200.

Thanks for respond sharpshot. 

I got my payment also today.

I'm using "Who stole my pictures?" extension for firefox and it seems to work quite well

And how I know is stolen and no sold?
