iStockPhoto.com / Depressing January
« on: January 29, 2011, 05:13 »
This time last year I had a really good month on Istock. This month so far with just 3 days to go and I am almost a third of earnings compared to last year. My image sales have dropped drasticly since the dreadful F5 was forced upon us. If this month is anything to go by it looks a very depressing year. I can't even get new images passed (my quality hasn't dropped) which is frustrating because I am exclusive with them.

In a nutshell: I am starting to resent Istock and reading other posts here I am not on my own. What a mess they made of an already decent system but that's what greed does until it destroys everything.

Shutterstock.com / Ridiculous rejections
« on: December 02, 2010, 14:51 »
Ok, I thought a few images might get through the approval but all 10 were rejected !!!!! Soul destroying. Some on focus, the wrong type of focus, some not even a reason. Basicly a waste of time and I haven't the time to waste working out why AND I have to wait 30 days. I thought IS was bad enough. I know most are good images so I will try not to let it get to me. In fact, some they said were not saleable are my best selling on IS.

General Stock Discussion / Stock sites that take audio
« on: December 01, 2010, 05:25 »
Not strictly photo but as some are known to take audio I was wondering (apart from Pond5 ans Istock) if any other micro sites accept audio (SFX) as I have a huge portfolio ready to go.

Shutterstock.com / Applying To SS while still exclusive
« on: December 01, 2010, 04:40 »
I am exclusive at the moment with another microstock site I am no longer happy with (You can probably guess which one) As it sounds like it's a hard task to get into SS, I don't want to give up my exclusivity and lose out if SS reject my images. I will have to wait a month (sounds unreasonable to me) before I can try again. If I get rejected I will have given up exclusivity for nothing.

It's a conundrum.
