Title: Finally got accepted at SS
Post by: 08stock08 on July 10, 2015, 08:59

I got accepted at SS today. I had been trying since 2013 or so. Failed several times, came back silently, improved, learnt better ways, went back, failed again. In recent last two months the acceptances started to come for few images. Built on empirical knowlege, finally got 8 selected out of 10.  I am in now. Feels good. Now, I am with all major agencies in the business. Journey to reach SS improved my skills with images.

I like to thank the members here who answered my questions in PMs and many others who shared their knowledge and encourged. My gratitude and best regards.  I will keep on learning and improving.

Congrats. It took me quite a few years as well. It's by far the best microstock agency there is and the sales are really high compared to other sites. Enjoy!

This is very happy news for you and all those still struggling to get in.

Thanks, 08stock08, for sharing your accomplishment as well as your appreciation for those who helped you get there. That doesn't always happen here, as you know.

Now… happy selling on SS!

Congratulations!

I got accepted at my second trial at SS, but it took me some years to get accepted at IS. Finally made it last year. I know the feeling.

Congratulations, took me quite a few tries to get into SS as well. Great agency, sales are strong. Just make sure your images quality does not dip. Their selection for clips for sale is also quite strict
