General Stock Discussion / reviewing 3 month on the air!

hey guys so heres my review for my own stock carrear

up to now i was registering to 12 sites spent full days (i tought it will be few min) applying to contributor, days untill pictures was approved and .. now i got about 200 pictures online 90% commercial

i got great pictures of hotels areas but most of them was rejected due to symbols and propertie release to bad they are great images and my agent sales them as commercial dont know how and making me good money (not easy to be your own agent)

Dreamstime - my first, 12 sales 95% Editorial

Alamy - 1 sale 50$

Istock - well there system is the hardest due to one upload one by one thanks for StockSubmiter i got a quick upload to them (to bad i found it so late) 4.5$ but getting positive

Veer - well first 10 images was approved after 1 week the other 50 took about 1 month + and for some reason i think there back to business all the other 70 was approved within a week, 1 shiny dollar, don't think i will spend more time to upload there but let see if the numbers will get better who knows

Photoarbia - left them, they are new but really they don't approve so many photos' and for 5 regional pictures i won't keep track on them - deleted my account there

CanStock - approves very fast, very easy they rock, but dose not sell for me total 0 in 3 months

Deposit Photo - well 5 sales 1.5$ lets see

BigStockphoto - well they rejected me about 8 times, finnaly i got it, uploaded 200 files, 80% was rejected, with stupid excuses, bad quality, poor lighting and many other stupid reason for perfect images on studio, delete my account (they did it within 40 min i guess it mutual)

123RF - 7 sales 5$ all in 1 month, first month nothing, thing month nothing allso, hmmm
i hate there earning in a diffrent page and need to enter CHPCHTA all the time

YAY and Pixta - uploading veryfast, very easy, no even 1 sell with 250 pics in 3 months - what do u think delete them and get it over with it? they take to much memorey on my browser lol

Pond 5 - well there system i guess didnt had an user interface upgrade from 2000, didnt sell nothing untill few days ago, but i got few days ago 1 sell, 3$ profit so i guess i will give them time, i hope they will approve the other pictures stuck there for a while

ShutterStock - well they rejected me 7 times allso, but i did my best got in and made 3 sales in the first day


so my lesson the marrier is not happyer, i think its better to spend time on 4-6 good agencys and not 12, and get stuck submiting limitations and diffrent methods in diffrent sites

what is your 2 cent for me?
should i droped YAY and Pixta? altough i spend maybe 5-7 hours uploading them the pictures, maybe it's better that my pictures could not be found in all websites or maybe i shouldnt keep track on them daily and just make a reminder to check them every 2-3 months

any other ideas?

thanks for your time, i hope my info will contribute to others (sorry for my bad english 2am)

44
good luck max

your welcome to share  you portfolio interested to see what you got :)

you can cutout and isolate object from background in any condition, on white black background its more easy that way you don't have diffrent color or light reflect on the item edges

for example you have a bottle in a resturant u have reflection on the bottle from the space, on white background you eliminate most of the reflection and color cast on the item
