General Stock Discussion / Re: best to upload to 20 microstock sites or only the best ones ?
« on: October 05, 2013, 22:48 »
I used to just upload to just istock and shutterstock. I didnt feel like I was getting the kind of traffic I should be getting, mostly because those sites are oversaturated. I've come to realize that spreading your material out is the best way to go.
For instance, I have a specific image that has only had 8 visits on istock and no sales in the past 3 months. However on Stockopus.com that same image has already been sold twice in only 2 months. I know thats not a big deal but it is one of many examples of how uploading to the biggest sites isn't a guarantee.
If you have the time, I'd say upload around and see what sticks.
