Shutterstock.com / Anyone with the same problem?
« on: December 11, 2015, 10:48 »
Hi,

I just checked some of my online files and I noticed that all my keywords where adjusted (translated to Dutch and not that good) and some are added, I guess because off the translation, but are irrelevant.

Anyone who don't have English as their native tongue have the same problem?
I contacted SS allready, buth haven't got an answer regarding this little problem.

Regards.

Hi,

I'm thinking of ways to increase traffic to my portfolio's on SS,DTand Istock.
I recently started writing a blog with links to those ports (I write seperate blogs on DT), and I tweet and G+ some of the new images. Also I have banners for DT and SS galleries on my personal website. But despite all of this, I don't get the sales I'dd expect. But I do get plenty of views.

Any hint and tips on how to get more public?
Thanks in advance

Dreamstime.com / illustrations being refused
« on: December 06, 2015, 05:03 »
I'm rather new in the world of microstock, but with enough understanding reasons of some rejections of images I had. However, I started with illustrations (non-vectors) and started uploading them to DT, SS and Istock. As they all are allready been accepted at SS and pending on Istock, they were all refused at DT. All with the same reason of being "to simple" ("this illustration contains few elements or the subject is too simplistically represented. Adding more elements or improving the existing ones in terms of creativity and overall appeal will increase the sale potential of your image. Please note that long series of subjects like alphabet letters, world flags, web buttons and other such illustrations will not be accepted separately but only in sets. Please do not resubmit your work unless you improve it according to the above mentioned.")

The illustrations I made had different subjects (Christmas/black friday/cyber monday/ grunge/ abstract,...)and I made them in Photoshop with a lot of layers/effects/text. I know that if I'll add more, it'll ruin the illustration and it's meaning.

I don't know what to do with illustrations on DT, as I get more and more frustrated with them....But I'm considering to stick with photos on DT, instead of mixing with illustrations

Anyone with the same expierience?
