I'm trying it right now, there are still some minor bugs - which I am reporting through the contact form - but it's perfectly understandable being a beta version.

Great tool! I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. Thanks!

are you talking about FREE right?

two sales for more than a year (port around 1k) not worried

Hi luissantos84,

 I make almost the same from every site each month give or take a couple hundred. Istock keeps growing because I can only upload so many images a week. The other sites have more of my images but make about the same as my Istock, but Istock has my best RPI and should pass the others here soon as my monthly leader. This month SS was $1316 which was a bad month, I usually always see $1500+ consistantly. My Dreamtime was also down from $1500 to $1300 ( i am not clear how to get an exact monthly amount out of their site maybe someone could point it out to me, all I get is the graph and it has me somewhere between 1300-1400 so I am not dead on for them but I have another 1000 images to add to that collection as well so hopefully more growth there. Fotolia is coming in at $ 735.24 a down month, this has been my biggest disappointment they used to make me good money like the rest but they have dropped the fastest for me. The other 7 agencies add up to about $1500 a month all together so my monthly total for November was $6105 give or take a few bucks, x 12 = $73,260 if all the months averaged out to be the same as this month. I make about 17-21 dollars a day. This is from images I uploaded two years ago and have not uploaded since. I hope this helps.

Best,
Jonathan

Thanks for sharing but I want to say that I have never asked for this.. My two only comments on this topic were regarding why being exclusive at istock (talking to aefon) and another telling that in my opinion sharing stock figures is not rude, it is our business if we want to share or not

I won't believe it unless you show it to us

wish you sales!

in terms of composition you aren't that bad.. you just need to come up with clean pictures, no distractings objects, foreground etc sometimes some work but mainly try do it the simpliest way..

overall i think you need to get better exposure at your photos maybe more small F numbers or a little higher iso, it will bring more sharpness and a lot less noise if you expose properly..

i have only two or three picture in wildlife but mainly focus on the animal eyes, that where reviewers will look (they need to be very nice at 100% but if they aren't that tack sharp most agencies also big ones will approve them, just do your best..)

you have also a lot of blown out highlights (blinks option in Nikon, maybe Canon have also).. shoot raw and recovery them a little, also on raw you can adjust exposure and wb (a lot of other stuff)..

shoot more and more, don't take hard comments negatively, so are a little exaggerated, stock isn't thard hard so far.. but again the better you shoot the more successful you will be

still waiting......grey hair......

I'm right there with ya.

Apparently not good enough to be accepted right away yet not bad enough to get denied.

Peter, any idea on when those of us that signed up in June would find out about having their applications accepted/rejected?  Getting antsy just a wee bit.

sure it will be before Christmas, hope to get the Ferrari soon

When I started with iStock over three years ago I was anxious and frustrated that review times there were usually around five days ---IF ONLY I COULD RETURN TO THAT! A couple of weeks ago it actually took two full weeks for a review. The photo was accepted, but still, two weeks?

I am on around 10 days (5 days this week)

how about when you get rejections and they don't give a reason why??? Very frustrating. It seems that the reviewer just picks what they like because some of their rejections make no sense to me. Taking a break from this site !

All I can tell you is that they enjoy a lot landmarks, travel pictures.. some isolations also..

curious.. still just importing keywords.. on the XMP I have the following:
