haven't had a sale in six days now. I've got to try and add some people photos when I can. I was told by support to try and add more variety to my port.
I ordered a new lenses for camera a 25mm 1.8 prime to hopefully take better pictures.before my 14-42 lenses just wasn't doing the job the quality just wasn't there. 3

Thanks for the info .It's confusing sometime others telling u no u need more and some saying u have plenty as long as they are relevant . I just try and go with my own gut instinct.
Sometime I put maybe 7 other times I will put 30 or so. 4

so the # of k words doesn't matter? I was told by fellow contributors veterans it does. I've always felt relevance was more important .

about Istock,I have a question. Can someone tell me why I can't find what images have sold on my port. I've sold some and on my port it doesn't show views or DL.
I'm trying to find out so I can concentrate on what to upload. Thanks 12

If I do decide to stay with them after joining in JulyNobody is getting many views. Apparently it's something to do with only views by logged in buyers counting. What I find much more worrying is that those logged in buyers seem to be buying a lot less of my work. Views are nice but there are no $$ for them. ya,I agree with u on my port. definitely need to re think my shooting. 16

I'm not getting any views on my port a total of around 10 on 250 images that's it. I don't get it,they want more contributors and their stuff but there is no buyers to view them. 17

thanks,I appreciate the feedback. Most of the images I sell are isolated things on white. Most all of my photos that I upload get's rejected now since they are getting more technical.It's about 50/50 for sales between illust and photos. I'm in the process of getting a new and better lenses for my camera so maybe some more of my photos will be better and get accepted.

I think my port is pretty simple and easy and that's why I don't get a lot of sales.
I'm not a professional photographer like a lot of u. I'm retired from my job in manufacturing. I don't do this year round I have other things in the fire that I do to make extra . 20

I meant to say as of lately I try and upload one or two photos on average a day. I have close to 1100 images. I've started to keyword more as of lately also.
my port is shutterstock.com/gbcimages 23

Yes I had the guys over at SS look at my port .They suggested I keyword more and I started key wording more. Just don't seem to be getting very many gallery views. maybe someone can look at my port from here. Maybe I'm in the wrong business ! shutterstock.com./gbcimages

I have never had two payouts in a year. Of course my port isn't that popular I guess.
I try and create new stuff and upload at least one or two photos a day on average. The problem with my port is I don't shoot people.That seems to be the most popular target. I've been with SS since 2007 and there is no change in sales always three to five sales a week. My port doesn't get found gets lost in the maze of others. I finally got a payout the other day and that will probably be the last one until next year sometime unless buyers find my port more often. KINDA DISCOURAGING! 25
