Shutterstock.com / Funniest Forum of All Sites!

« on: November 01, 2006, 22:35 »

I've been spending some time today reading the forum on Shutterstock. Between the 1600 ISO conversation and the guy whining about rejections I couldn't stop laughing. Another fun destination added to my web surfing.

General Stock Discussion / Anyone Else Like Me Here?

« on: September 19, 2006, 18:24 »

Anyone else on this group new to Microstock? I have between 20 and 50 photos on five different sites and have made three sales total. My pictures don't suck so I know it will pick up with time and more of a varied portfolio. Does anyone (beginner or veteran) have any success/failure stories or advice for others like me?

I'm currently posting to IS,DT,Foto,BS, and 123. I'm waiting to resub to SS in a week or two.

Thanks.

General Stock Discussion / Getting Views and then Downloads

« on: September 11, 2006, 15:16 »

Hi, I've only been uploading to MS sites for about 1/2 month. I have from 20 down to 8 images on sites depending upon their review and acceptance rates. I have very few views and one download. I understand that I am competing with 1,000,000 other images on most of these sites for view time.

What has been your experience in getting views/downloads (besides worthy photos)? Is it a numbers game and I need 100's on a site before action starts? Is it a key word game and I need to make sure I have 50 to 70 keywords per photo? Is it something else?

Thanks for your input.

General Stock Discussion / Street Shots as Editorial?

« on: September 06, 2006, 22:35 »

I have a few series of street shots of interesting people in crowds. Are these OK to market as editorial shots if they have an explanation of the scene. Does anyone know the legalities and/or the place to market such shots?
