There is a SS page listing the ones they accept. Have the agencies been accepting your Google doc?

Nobody use FTP services for these?

I recently had to reset Stockuploader and redo the agency information. Since then, it hasn't been able to upload to Yay or CS. Was there anything extra or specific in the FTP information one needs to input for these agencies?
Neither is worth going to the trouble of submitting to outside of automated uploads.

It might affect your best-selling clips too. VB appear to push their owned content to the top of searches , so if your best-selling content has similar in their content, yours might get pushed down in searches. DISCLAIMER: This is based on my personal observation and may or may not be true)

I just had a hard drive crash and sorting out the pitfalls of backing up to an external drive. backing up to another internal drive makes a lot more sense as an additional backup. I tend to forget the plug in the right USB drive as I have 3 in rotation for various backups.

To be safe, use the forms in the language of the country. Some agencies specify that. Some also want the original language translated into English too on the MR (Only DT, so probably not worth the effort.)

BS handled the situation very quickly and efficiently.
That's great, did you use the support email or did you contact them in a more direct way for such a fast response?
I used the support e-mail. They replied pretty promptly and cancelled the payout. Now we are arranging re-instating the account. Which a call wouldn't make go any faster.

OK, maybe not that efficiently. The money was back this morning and I could request a proper payout. But when trying to log in again I got:
Login failed due to administrative reason. For customer service assistance, please contact 001-xxx-xxx-xxx.
I understand that they have security concerns, but earnings on BS are not worth making international calls for.

I got BS e-mails in Russian and when I logged in I saw they were payment notifications. My account has been hacked and payment info changed to a Money Bookers account. I've informed BS and waiting to hear from them. I suggest others check their payout details on BS.

Pity. That would be a refreshing change from the vacuous vapid BS on 95% of their blog.

There was also a question about user blogs. Hopefully this will be just like DT, so we can read fascinating topics like:
I Learned to Turn My Camera on Yesterday
Milestones: I've sold my 23rd photo!!
You Can Use Light to Light Your Photos
etc

Shutterstock answered me:
"Thank you for reaching out too us. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Our Contributors are in charge of what they upload to our website. There is no restriction for uploading similar images, as they may have some difference that we may not be able to view right away.
As i stated we will take your comment into consideration. Thank you."
No restriction on similars? What is this about then? https://www.shutterstock.com/contributorsupport/articles/kbat02/000012339

I also couldn't find any useful information about this. But when I filed my taxes this year I asked the person at the tax office and they said it was very unlikely I'd be able to claim the tax back.

Longwinded tagging process and no sales. I stopped uploading there last year.
In addition at some point they followed IS and made 4K clips the same price as HD.

Thanks. I'll try that.

I got rejections on SS and BS for silhouette photos with the note:
"A reference image is required for this image."
What is required for the reference image? The photos were taken to use as silhouettes, hence lit suitably. So the originals look pretty much the same (Maybe 5% more shadow detail but not enough to make any details out).

I e-mailed one company whose renders I wanted to use as backgrounds to ask them about using renders as stock and to clarify the wording in their Licence Agreement which did not address re-selling directly. Their response was to "read the Licence Agreement." Super helpful.

A microstock equivalent of Trip Advisor would be a site where contributors could donate their photos for free for the site to monetize and repay the contributors with patronizing "Achievement" awards.

Do you have a link to this article?
Yes, some cities are dangerous. Really depends where you're shooting.
I'm from there but live in Italy. Whenever I travel back to see friends and family in Rio I take my backup camera and carry it around in a plastic bag like I just been shopping...it's sad.

I found this interesting as I've never seen anybody mention it before:
"[Brazil is] more difficult they have rules about models, and if you do a shoot there they want you to have armed guards with you."
This is from an interview with Monkey Business. Has anyone encountered this in Brazil?

It looks to me like this image of mine has just had the watermark on her removed. The diagonal lines on the background look like the leftovers of an agency's watermark. What do you think? The picture of the "agent" http://www.mudah.my/li?ca=9_s&id=755632&f=q#

Unsold files on CS wouldn't narrow down the search very much.
