After several tries finally got in SS, 8 out of 10 approved. Boy, am I glad to leave this barrier behind. Probably funny to you old hands but it really feels like an accomplishment for a recent stock entry...

Congratulations, and way to go!
Now for the harder part: making some money!

Thank you!

yeah, interesting to see how it goes since SS seems to be a steady money maker for most. My images are not appearing in search yet, approved just several hours ago so can't judge the response yet.

It will help your sales to keyword the location of the shot if it's at all "touristy" or "travelly" - your totem shot is a good example.

Wow, really? I always thought to appeal to buyers they should be as generic as possible. I guess it's correct for the image itself, and I just automatically trasferred this concept to the keywording. Never thought of it, thanks for the tip

Welcome aboard!

Not 100% sure but I think that the review process for your initial 10 is independant from the "regular" review process.

In other words, you have to re-submit your photos in order to make them in available.

I will check to make sure and I'll let you know $:-\$

Anyway, congratulations!
Claude

edit: No, no, no, I'm wrong! You don't have to re-submit at SS! Sorry!

Thank you cyclope. I think you had in mind other agency - it's IS where you need to resubmit them for usual review while SS just relegates them for sale. Search started showing some of them now on SS, waiting for magic to start, lol.

Pleasant feeling to get accepted to IS and SS within a week, after several tejections by both! Increased acceptance by DT by a mile, too.

I've found my newly accepted photos at SS sometimes don't show up on the search engine until the following day - FYI

Congrats!

Congrats and well done!

A good week for you and just reward for persistence!

Wish you well

Oh wow... I thought this topic drowned for good (which it should, lol). Anyway, thanks for warm words folks.

As follow-up... I am really glad I haven't given up on SS, it was totally worth it. Acceptance rate is not bad for such picky agency (75% so far), sales are constant even with small portfolio (albeit growing by day), and even enjoyed first EL. Hope it helps anyone questioning whether SS worth the aggravation of being rejected multiple times
