Title: shutterstock application
Post by: KW400 on August 10, 2011, 09:15

I am presently exclusive with Istock, and remember someone stating that it was possible to be
accepted at shutterstock and not have your images active until the 30 days were up.
Is this posssible and how?
                    Thanks

You can go to your "Your Account" (https://submit.shutterstock.com/admin.mhtml) and opt out each option.
Not sure if pictures will be completely invisible or just non buyable.

I wonder if it would work to apply to Shutterstock, then if your images get accepted just delete them immediately.  There is no sense being non-exclusive if you aren't submitting to Shutterstock,  Throwing away the crown then finding out Shutterstock doesn't like your shots would be a big hit.

First option might be safer - 5 of my first 10 had sold on SS before I even knew they had been accepted...
