Author Topic: StockSubmitter - I want to like it but...... (Read 5676 times)

Along time ago I downloaded and tried StockSubmitter, but gave up as I found it clunky and not particularly user friendly.

Everyone bangs on about how great it is, and I don't mind paying for a service to improve my workflow, so I thought I'd give it another go.

It won't keep me logged in to either Fotolia/Adobe or Shutterstock, and a box pops up every few minutes forcing me to log back in. I read in the instructions that I should log in first time through a private browsing window, and I've tried that but it hasn't helped.

I got a message telling me a title was too long, so I changed this and saved, then I get a message saying my files could not be 'renamed or uploaded from other PC' for Alamy and 123rf and I can't submit them. What does this even mean? (I'm using a Mac)

For Fotolia/Adobe I get a message saying 'unable to parse results during submissions for images'.

It's taken me about 2 hours to try and upload 2 images to 7 sites and I still have to go in and manually submit those that have failed and, unless someone can convince me it's worth persevering, I'm ready to give up as I did last time.

Has anyone any suggestion that can help me figure this out? Alternatively is there a more user friendly product out there that can do the job in a more streamlined fashion?

You cannot upload any files through stockperformer. There is also no app or software to download. It is entirely web based and only gives you statistics.

Are you talking about stocksubmitter?

I use it for more than 1 year and everything is perfectly faster with the keywords, title and decription and I send all the agencies with just one click, but my machine is windows I have never tried it with a mac

On the weekend I will give it another go but for now, I have failures and constant logging in problems, with a box popping up about every three minutes for both Shutterstock and Adobe - so much so that Adobe locked my account for a period because of all the sudden login attempts!
