General Stock Discussion / Keywords and image descriptions
« on: February 23, 2019, 10:22 »
I have two questions about the images I uploaded.
I uploaded most of my image portfolio all at once to shutterstock.
And I have not been so carefull with the description and keywords and I think this is a reason I am not selling so well.
For example for my Dubai trip I uploaded like 200 photos and used a general description like like: dubai travel photography
And also for keywords, I used the same ones on each image.
Now for a few images I did add a proper description and keywords, and those are the images that are selling now, the ones with the general description barerly sell.
So I guess a specified description is super important?
Also is there any point in changing the description from the images I uploaded months ago?
It will take some work changing descriptions of a few hundred images, but if this will lead to a lot more sales its worth it.
