Envato / Envato in top 4... worth the hassle yet?

« on: August 31, 2016, 16:58 »

I have been struggling through the maze of Envato's sites, trying to figure out how to upload and submit something. I finally got a vector submitted to Graphic River (I think) and it was rejected for "quality" with no clue as to whether they meant quality of the image, or quality of the file. And, of course, I can't figure out how to ask for clarification.

Can anyone tell me WHAT is selling there that is making such a good earnings rating?

Is it worth the struggle to navigate their site*, and make all the little jpgs, to submit to Graphic River?

Or are the earnings coming from templates, or videos, or audio, or something else I don't have to submit?

Envato is making me cry, literally.

*I gave up hope of finding my way back to a particular page, and just started bookmarking important pages as I found them. Envato has its own folder in my bookmark folder.

I will generally stick with a site through periods of low or even no sales, because it's not really any effort to wait. Eventually, most sites will get their act together, and sales will pick up again.

So, I have been uploading new work to CanStock along with my other sites.

Suddenly, I'm getting rejections for inappropriate keywords, and no satisfactory response from support about why.

I am not going expend energy on a dying site to get things accepted without the keywords they need to sell. If I can't label an image about "bad attitude" with "bad attitude", what's the point? That moves the possibility of sale from "unlikely" to "impossible".

It's sad, I have always liked CanStock for some reason.

Aargh! I've been uploading a new set of vectors all week, all accepted...

today, all rejected

Edges--Paths are sloppy and/or poorly constructed.
Reference Image -- A reference image is required for this image.

All of them.

I'm uploading hundreds of vectors. Shutterstock ain't getting a reference image with each and every one. I get so frustrated with them sometimes, I think of dropping them even if they ARE my best seller.

*grump*

I'm going to resubmit them without changes.

Someone ought to update istock's wikipedia page, to include its recent history.

Anyone feel up to that?

HI, another new to the forum, but not to selling art and photography.

I think the best way to introduce myself is simply to show you these comics I did about growing up artistic, among the unimaginative.
