Thanks all   I'm still torn and feel I have hit a bit of a wall in the creativity area.  I'm pretty sure that older files at DT get a lesser ranking in the search results so these files would be better off elsewhere plus I'm pretty sure that "too many similar" effects your image placements for the accepted similars, again this would be no issue with many agencies.  Then there is the tax stuff to do, I guess most agencies like DT need all forms sorting before your stuff is for sale....  I'm pretty sure I'm going to make the jump but the big question is when.  I think my first step is to join SS ( which I have but need to sort ID and tax out ), then spend some time there to get a feel as I build a port off line, will see how that goes before going live. 
Does anyone know if building this off line port can go against you, I mean if newer images get a kind of showcase placement, could my offline port miss this whilst they just sit there and when they do become live have missed the boat.  Stuff to do and sort, will report back

Thanks Cobalt 

Like any stock image good collages can sell well but bad ones wont sell.  Dumping a  load of bad pic's into a collage does not make a hit ( not saying yours would be bad ).  I like to do a bit of both and I'm working on some NYC shots at the mo, some of my fav's I sell individualy but then make some collages with other images from the shoots.

As an exclusive at DT I have been averaging an RPD of $3 from 200+ sales a month for 2012.  Now thinking at branching out across other agencies.  Happy New Year all

     
     I  goofed  only  1  sale  in  Nov.  the  other  was  in  Oct.  Gotta  keep  better  records.

How's the spreadsheet coming along?
