Newbie Discussion / Re: Exclusive VS indie for beginners?

I think you've put the cart before the horse - have you applied to any agencies yet? How big is your portfolio of images ready to upload? Have you become familiar with submission guidelines (particularly model and property releases) so you know how many of your images could be used for RF stock?

If you want to keep your options open, just submit to those agencies that permit you to (a) delete your own images and (b) do not have a minimum length of time you must leave the images online

Shutterstock and Adobe Stock would both qualify and are the top two earners for many. If you use those two to learn enough about the business, you'll probably then know what you want to do next.

Good luck

Thanks. I was thanking about IS, but heard it went crazy...

A better strategy would be to convince yourself you're going to build a time machine, and then wait for yourself to come pick you up from 2030 and take you back to 2004.

what's the new game nowadays? :P

I haven't used microstocks yet. Now I try to earn a little money (say 500/month), as soon as possible.
Pick one site and go exclusive or submit to a few sites? which is a better stratage?
Mainly micro photos and some illustrations.

Maybe s/he meant cents.

Really?  I read somewhere said $5 per image for a year? So I figure 1200 ok images would do, wouldn't them?

Submit to a few sites.  You will learn which ones will accept your work, and which ones have customers who want it.  I don't believe exclusivity is a good deal for most creators in the microstock world.  I know it would have been bad for me.  But how can you know which agency will be the one to devote all your resources to supplying without getting some experience first?
Thanks, that makes sense.
