Newbie Discussion / New to Microstock Group and looking for some advice.
« on: April 29, 2013, 12:23 »
I'm new to this group but have been contributing to microstock sites for a number of years. I have not been a very prolific uploader in the past and have a very small portfolio. I am at a point that I would like to become more serious about shooting stock. I have just over 700 images at SS and barely make a payout each month. The majority of downloads for me comes from 5 images that sell over and over. They are not particularly good images nor are they of subject matter that is unique. I have many many images in my portfolio that have never sold. I am beginning to wonder if it is worth it to invest alot of time into increasing my portfolio. If the new images don't sell it will obviously be a waste of time.
I would love to get some opinions on my portfolio as to whether I am shooting the wrong subjects, the images are just not suitable for stock, my keywords are no good, etc.
The link to my SS gallery is http://www.shutterstock.com/portfolio/search.mhtml?gallery_landing=1&gallery_id=298537&page=1&safesearch=1&sort_method=popular
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
