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
