Shutterstock.com / Re: Are you experiencing MASS REJECTIONS?
« on: July 11, 2011, 04:02 »
I've come to the conclusion that the rejection reasons given are irrelevant. It now seems to be up to reviewers to decide whether or not they feel the collection would benefit from having something. If they think so, it gets accepted, if not, they hit a random rejection button.

Of course, some rejections will be for the given reason, but once something is good enough in technical terms, it then runs into the "do we want it" layer of reviewing.

DT's "too many of the same thing" when you have three completely different views of a subject may be irritating (and stupid) but at least you know what is happening.
I tend to agree with you on this.
Even being rejected for focus when it appears technically OK.

Was there for some time but not anymore.
I never even made 10 cent!

Congrats and wish you continuous sales.
SS is the place for sales - the place to be!

Good Keywording I feel plays a big part.
Diversity in your portfolio gives you a better chance for regular downloads.
I don't participate much in forums or blogs - not sure if any of these help.
As said earlier its a case of quality and if you can quantity.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Fotolia sales stopped

For me on FT sales come in bursts and then seem to go quiet for a while.
The past 7 days has been the later.

That's a nice touch of courtesy!

Nope. Slow, very slow.
Same for me!

Newbie Discussion / Re: How many agencies do you use?
« on: October 08, 2010, 09:58 »
At one stage I was with 6 or 7 agencies.
Now it's down to just 3 and I feel more comfortable with that.
Also, less work involved.

« on: September 22, 2010, 13:52 »
It doesn't bother me at all how long it takes.
As they say 'no news is good news'!
So, as long as they are hanging there,at least you know they are not rejected.

Getting smacked with instant rejection can be a real 'downer' also!

General Stock Discussion / Re: Volume of Submissions Now Reducing?
« on: September 22, 2010, 13:41 »
Maybe they are just getting more selective.
After all, they have more than enough to choose from!

I only just started uploading again a few days ago - and yes, it's the same for me.
100% rejected!

General Stock Discussion / Re: What's your best selling photo?

Uh, four year old post, dude.
Yeah I know, thanks - but it still might be of use to someone!

No offence to your original post, but I think it's unwise to 'post up' your best selling work.

To do this makes it just then a sitting target to be copied (exactly), which has been done so many times before.
Threads with "show us your best" etc are just an easy way of gathering together images which can be exploited.
I would suggest that the contributor who wants to get a handle on the market and what can and does sell, should research this for themselves.

It's tough, but I just get up, get on with it, be a little more careful
And - keep believing in your work!

Dreamstime.com / Re: Did Dreamstime stop selling....lol
« on: August 19, 2010, 16:05 »
Has been a little slow in recent weeks which would be normal at this time of year.

But overall, I cant complain.

All I can say is that the trend can be bucked.

I haven't uploaded anything in the last 6 months and yet my sales are as good as last year.

This site (once quite lively) has been totaly 'dead' for me in the last few months.

43
My submissions are now down to 3 sites and these are in the Top 4.
I find it very hard now to get motivated by new startup sites!

DT is steady enough - but I will be putting that Carribbean cruise on hold for another while!

 Just 1 sale for me - not looking good!

DepositPhotos / Is DepositPhotos looking good?
« on: February 04, 2010, 04:13 »
What do you think? - is it looking good for this site to make it.
I see a lot of people uploading there and also a number of sales visible on the site.
Have signed up. Is it worth uploading?

Shutterstock.com / Re: SS earnings decreased
« on: February 04, 2010, 04:08 »
I've been unable to upload anything to SS for about 2 months now and my sales continue to grow....I'm half afraid to start uploading again for fear of my sales falling off... ::)
Similiar experience for me - can't complain!

48
I guess for me it's just simply "no sales" for a couple of days.  No hidden numbers. :D
Same here! - if it's a glitch let's hope it's good one!

49
In my opinion there is very little outside the Top 6 to the right of this page.
Venturing further than that can cost you a lot of time and effort for little reward!

General Stock Discussion / Re: ImageCatalog - one more is gone
« on: November 30, 2009, 16:05 »
http://imagecatalog.com :

"Image Catalog is Now Closed

Thank you to all the members who have supported us over the years! "

yet another ~$50 minus....

(I was not sure what section I could use for this post)
do you mean youve lost out by $50.
If so, my advice is to go looking for it.

I was below payout on one site when I closed my account and I received payment when I politely asked for it.
