Messages - a Stock Image

Interesting, I am reading here in the forums similar posts where people submit in bulk and get high rejections.
I am also noticing that those same people in the majority of the cases have a one or two post regarding no sales.
Could there be a correlation between the two?

Do your images have some commercial value or they are just images that you believe might have some commercial value?
I had a few images that I had sentimental value to me and when I submitted to SS I was heartbroken because the rejection, but even the message was vague it was clear, I was just sad do the rejection and could not see the reason. After analyzing the image, indeed while it's a great picture, it has NO commercial value whatsoever.

I don't have a huge portfolio, I don't submit in bulk, my approval rate is high, I have less than 25 downloads with only 12 images, and I been doing this for only a few months. I might not be the person to talk about bulk, I am just intrigued.

Thanks

does this link really tell us HOW to make sales?  how many sales do you have?  promoting yet another way to spend time without much hope of a payoff is useless

While the article could use a better title like "switching from X to Y for Z reason"; the actual store how is set-up can actually generate sales with the right marketing.
So it is interesting to see what others are doing and how they are doing it.

I have sold the weirdest products and services online in my career, photography is no exception.

What I am noticing is the successful people selling stock on their website have a niche, they have something defined, and the ones who struggled went for a more generic service.
I am still researching the topic, so to me it was helpful in someone way.

EDIT:
Found this example website - prostarpics (dot) com

Love your work.

Are you using wooCommerce photography extension?

I'm a NFT collector and Creator, I am Rarible verified.
Is a different world and tbh is full of crap, mostly is just cyber money laundering

EDIT:

I got into NFT because the base idea of having a proof of ownership in a blockchain can solve a lot of problems for artists.

Great article, I am actually reading Taking Stock by Rob Sylvan and this article just came at a great time.
The best part for me was converting editorials to commercials 😮
I actually purchased my xpiks license yesterday and subscribed to the shot list 😎✌🏼

EDIT ++
Just did my first submission to 3 services after using Xpiks, cut down my submission time drastically.
