General Stock Discussion / Re: Reducing stock library

I would not delete images.  This image of mine that is not the best by any standards somehow did sell at DT couple of days ago. If  I were to delete some images that one would be the first to go.  But not now.

123RF / Re: Impressed (in a modest way)
« on: December 04, 2007, 19:01 »
BigStock 2.4 times outperforms 123rf for me. Still 123rf is very close to FT for me, which is better than nothing as is at LO.

My guess is at FT one has to have at least a thousand pics or more to make a $100 a month.

General Stock Discussion / Re: November Earnings Breakdown
« on: December 01, 2007, 15:53 »
Btw, I have turned off subscription option at SV. Why to be content with $.30, when they pretend to be kind of a midstock site ?

What happened to DT?  Perhaps the subscription effect is beginning to be noticeable now that the purchasers have used all their credits and switching to Sub.

440% increase and still <$100.  I am a very recent microstocker . Delivering pizzas I  would have earned more.

« on: November 28, 2007, 12:24 »
yes, that helped. thanks, Pixart!

Pop the photo open, scroll down - you will see "Your Gallery Manager" and an Ad button.  From there, pick which gallery from the drop-down that you want to put it in.   (If you have named/created your gallery first).  Hope this helps!

I have waited for fist QC for 4 weeks; after that i submitted in one week 12 batches (3-7 files each); they all we passed QC in 3 days after the last batch. Now again I am waiting for 10 batches to pass QC already 3 weeks.
Does not look that they do it fast, rather sporadically ...

I can't figure out a way of adding my images to the gallery I created. Any one did that successfully?

« on: November 27, 2007, 19:36 »
They also attract contributers. I have stopped uploading to LO, SV and FP, but still uploading to 123RF, i feel they have a future. SV will make it too, eventually, but now it is a drag to upload to them without FTP.

General - Top Sites / Re: Upload Strategy?
« on: November 27, 2007, 13:25 »
Yes, it is just there more clicks plus adding titles or/and descriptions, removing rejected keywords, waiting, checking for ftp to finish (and sometimes fail, or a site no responding). All that time is more or less equal to 2 more photos taken, post processed and send to the big 5 from which one  can rightly expect  a return for ones effort.

vphoto

Perhaps I didn't explain it well. 

You shoot two more photos in a session, which both have to have the post-processing done (which for most people is substantial) and the meta data added. 

Then uploading to those three extra agencies is three extra clicks in your uploading application and a few more on the websites.

just using a timer disproves that. I can shoot two more photos a session, but not wasting time by uploading to FP, SN, and LO.

vphoto

The majority of the work is in shooting and preparing the photos. Once you have all your shots repaired and all the meta data in the file, uploading is a relatively small part of the process. Especially if you get your workflow sorted out from the start. This makes uploading to many sites only marginally more time consuming than uploading to one.

StockXpert.com / rejection: Images too soft
« on: November 25, 2007, 13:42 »
I have applied to SX and got rejected with the message your images are too soft. The same images have been accepted at IS and DT. I do not sharpen my images. The settings on my Canon 40D and Rebel Xti are Standard picture. That automatically  gives Amount 25, Radius 1,
Detail 25. What should I do to get accepted at SX?

Unless brides would start wearing black dresses at their weddings white is better. There is  more life in white than in black.
