Thanks for the advice, I can use all all the help I can get.  I still think they are a little crazy, all 10  have downloads at IS. I will try back there in the 30 days and see what happens. Thanks again.

No it looks like all 10 not accepted.
Hi,
Thank you for your submission to Shutterstock.

In order for Shutterstock to maintain the high standard of our photography collection, new submitters must receive approval on at least seven (7) of their first ten (10) images to continue uploading. Unfortunately, while some of the images you submitted may meet our guidelines, we are unable to approve the requisite number and have temporarily disabled the uploading function on your account. This decision was based on concerns about quality, composition, lighting, or other features of your initial batch of images and we have listed the reasons below.

We invite you to resubmit in 30 days. In the meantime, you can still post banners, earn money from referring photographers, and participate in our forum discussions. Please do not create more than one account; doing so will result in permanent suspension.

Thank you for your interest in Shutterstock. We look forward to seeing you again in 30 days!

I sent my first 10 to shutterstock and they were all rejected.  What a bummer.  I find it hard to believe that they have higher standards then then IS.  These are all files that I have downloads for on IS. I wanted to branch out a bit more and add some on SS but I am re-thinking that now.  She a try again in the 30 days or skip them all together?

I am a base cont at IS, do you think all this could help me with downloads? Do you think customers will really care if it is a exclusive image, if they have to pay more? my thinking is that designers would rather have more for less. Unless it is a high profile add campaign.
 I have a small port but it seems downloads are just starting to happen and I started thinking there was a ray of hope for that 250. Now holy crap! that tunnel just got very very dark. :'(

My sales with StockXpert are as good as they have ever been.  I can't see a reason to stop uploading there.  The worst case scenario is that they close and I have wasted about 5 minutes a week uploading.  Crestock concerns me more, they are taking longer and longer to pay out.  Why isn't there more forum speculation about them?

I got my one payment from them after having two images picked to be free wallpaper images (I only said yes to one), but now that image is all of the internet being given away for free and used by tons of people in their blog, needless to say I will not give anymore images away for free ever again.  They were a fairly responsive company when it came to my questions but that doesn't seem to be most peoples experience.  They sell subs for 25 cents too, so I'm fine being done with them.
StockXpert hasn't gone down yet but I have also stopped uploading to them because I don't see them as being worth the effort as soon as photos.com and jupiter images are gone.  Who knows what will happen in the near future but it won't be better than it is now and likely will be worse.  I'd be worried that for a newbie uploading to StockXpert you may never reach a payout if things change drastically, but if you have a good port and lots of images go for it, you can always delete them very fast (about 500 times faster than DT and there are no stupid 6 month lockins).

Thanks for the info

Then I'll have to clarify the question (I'm not exclusive): How about allowing independants to submit editorial images?

That is incorrect.  Getty has invited a select group of iStock exclusives to submit to their editorial collection.  A move that will unlikely be extended to any non-exclusive for obvious reasons.

Sean, what are the obvious reasons?

Thanks for the report on StockXpert. I guess I will try to keep plugging along there also. I think something funny is going to happen with them. And it is funny that StockXpert site is almost identical to Stock.xchng. Being so new to the game I should just shut up and back to work.  Thanks  :-X

Hey Traveler1116,
 Do you think it is wast of time adding to stockxpert(StockXpert). My feeling is they will be out of picture soon and by the looks of it soon.
