I've seen a great improvement in terms of sale and price of each sale I get as a contributor on FT and this is far better than what I get on SS. The sales on SS are also dead slow these days. I guess this is happening since the Adobe took over the company. The poll results on right can surprise us in coming days..

I also looked at one of your images in Shutterstock
http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-447246100/stock-photo-business-financial-success-and-making-money-concept-stacks-of-us-dollar-banknotes-with-pencil.html?src=sABNOceuFv5eGM_T0clZSg-1-0
america, american, bank, banking, banknotes, bill, business, cash, closeup, currency, debt, dollar, estate, fifty, finance, five, home, house, hundred, investment, isolated, money, notes, one, paper, saving, stack, states, ten, twenty, united, us, usa, wealth, white
Key words on Alamy need to include singular and plurals i.e. banknote banknotes
note notes
And if you are spamming your images with irrelevant keywords (home house - not in the image) then you are going to reduce your click through rate (CTR)
Having well produced images with good keywords improves your click rate in Alamy does a lot to help sales.
Your title is "Business, financial success and making money concept, stacks of 20 US dollar banknotes with pencil stationery"
Really? business? financial success? making money?
I just don't see any concept at all just a bunch of unrelated items thrown on a white background
You need to work on your titles and concepts as Alamy customers are not microstock customers.
Thank you for going through my port and making the suggestions. I will re-arrange all my keywords on Alamy and on shutterstock as well...

I myself offer Retouching services to some of the top MS photographers already so I will suggest you to hire one. It will help you to work as a team and grow your port faster. You can earn multiple than what you will pay to retouching team. To avoid any mishap you can ask them to sign NDA before starting the job.

I had deep faith in Microstock Poll but after Alamy taking 2nd position, I don't trust the poll results anymore. I've never received even a single sale on Alamy so how is this possible?

You can always see your images in search result if you try to search them with your keywords. Fotolia don't consider the title much, they give maximum exposure using your keywords.

Hi All,
I just applied on OFFSET.com. Does anyone have experienced offset already and what is the license type they are selling?

By going through all these spammers ports, it looks like the SS review team is blind in these cases. They thoroughly examine all our photos and sometimes rejects amazing images. Why their vision is vanished while passing this crap???

I wasn't paying attention...did someone post their earnings at SS? If so, it's against their TOS. Maybe that's the reason?
Nobody ever quoted their earnings but just the random feedback instead. Not sure why admin removed that. It was working fine in last two months but removed all of sudden.

Why my topic Worst Month Ever is removed? We were getting amazing stats from fellow contributor and it was kind a help to heal our wounds

Hi All,
I've started a post few months back about worst month ever and I've received more than thousand reply on that post. BTW, Is there anyone who would like to share his/her story that is somehow encouraging to new photographers?

I've sold 128 files in 2 months time and I've a port of 450 images only. I think I need at least 3k images to get 200 or 300$ every month... What do you think?

I would be surprized if anyone knows for sure. I've been there for 10.7 Years.

What is Freepik's business model? What's their main source of income? Looks like a business pretending to be all modern, 'great designs should be shared for free' hipster nonsense.
They are earning hell lot of money from google adsense ads and also using some shutterstock referrals

Hi All,
I've an important question here, I am new into the stock world and I've been following the theft reports on this forum. By any means, is it possible that your work matches with someone ACCIDENTALLY and they report you based on assumption that it is stolen?
Thank you!

Remember, there are multiple holiday slumps throughout the year, Christmas season being the longest. Europe takes a 6-week (I think six, maybe eight) holiday in the summer, which really slows down sales. When school gets out in May/Jun sales slow while parents take time off for vacation, etc. Thanks Giving, etc. Slow times happen throughout the year. For Xmas, I usually don't see a pick up until week 3-4 of January...a slow ramp up. Don't let it get you down. Keep shooting and building your port.
Thank you for motivation I am working hard to capture more photos & prepare them to upload in next week....

Hi All,
Recently, I've uploaded some USD images to SS & they were accepted but today when I sent them some Canadian dollar photos they rejected them based on Intellectual Property issue. This is strange and I want to submit these images again. Is there anything special I can do to get them accepted?
Thanks in advance....

December slump is a fact, I am was regular sales until 15 December now a days I barely get 1 or 2 sales in a day... Anyone have idea when this slump will be over?

At least market leaders like SS should check the servers status before working day starts. I am afraid they will also lose many potential clients due to this breakdown.
