I tried to log in this morning and couldn't. I emailed support, but am still waiting for an answer.

I managed to log in with snap village credentials. I don't know if i forgot my password or if they changed it, but you can just click on 'forgot password' and they will send you it. ... hopefully I'm not jumping the gun here.

Oh Leaf, thank you! I just did the same and it worked

Hi all!

Brian,

I've uploaded my initial 10 from 12 EPS files to Veer Marketplace.

It seems some wierd error is appearing in processing part of engine. It simply can't process some files due to 'UNKNOWN ERROR'. All that 'ERROR' files are OK and are selling on other places.

Other what I find a bit unconfortable is Keywording process of EPS files. I'd suggest that with EPS file there to be possible to upload JPG thumbnail with title/description/keywords in IPTC and that will significantly speed-up uploading process.

Very nice option there is Suggested Keywords for Consideration... I've found that VERY HELPFUL and good to have. Still it may be improved with possible other approach in selecting some of that keywords as in JAVA or FLASH environment instead of HTML with using CTRL + CLICK and SHIFT + CLICK to select/unselect suggested keywords.

Well, that would be all for now regarding my expirience with Veer Marketplace... Now, let's see what reviewers have to say about vectors I've uploaded.

Cheers!

Leaf from where are you able to upload? I just did as you said and am able to log into my account on veer.com but it's not letting me go to submissions.veer.com with my username and password. ??

It might be worth checking the keywords that they've used on the images that have been transferred over, my one's are horrendous I have three shots of an old black telephone, none of them have the word 'phone or telephone' I have numerous shots of signs and you guessed it not one has the keyword 'sign or signpost', plus the list goes on, it also appears that you can't edit them either.

They didn't require an ITIN, EIN or any other number

I sent my first 10 this morning without any problem...

Maybe now server is too busy...

Perry · « **Reply #88 on:** June 08, 2009, 07:20 »

I logged in today, but I had to use password retrieval (the snapvillage password had changed into some gibberish). I also filled out the tax form (why can't this be as easy with shutterstock?)

Is there sales stats somewhere on the site?

It took me a while to find it as well.

You can go to http://contributor.veer.com/ and click on Register in the upper right corner.

The direct link is: https://ideas.veer.com/register

Thank you Goldy...

But its strange why link is in use before 8th of June...

And we have to find it...

I get to page where you hit the link to become a contributor
I hit the link and it half loads the next page and then says internet explorer can not open page with an error box.

Any ideas ?

Does anyone know if the approved application files go directly into your portfolio, or if that is a separate step, as it is on iStock? It's not exactly clear.

I Doubt that it has any workflow similarity as on iStock - It should be on high level of profesionalism than amateurism on iStock... I believe it is one-go through... But, still there may be some catch...

Why is there seemingly so much enthusiasm about joining Veer?
Am I missing something - is it the "Promised Microstockland"?

Are we all going to cash in or what?

If you read carefully, you don't have to put your ITIN or EIN if you are the sole owner of your image and an individual. The process was fast and easy. Why can't this be the same on Shutterstock. IMO, they should fire their legal advisers... lol.

My FTP files are beoing processed atm so I can't tell you how easy or painful the uploading process is but I'll keep in touch.

Well, If you've ever heard for Corbis and you wish to make your eggs in other basket than Gettys... You'd better do something about that.

I have one reason more: Competiton to iStock stupid policy and double standards with some brown-noses kept very high ;-)

leaf · « **Reply #96 on:** June 08, 2009, 08:11 »

upload was very painless. (unless disambiguation becomes mandatory or effects image rankings negatively)

They apparently have a disambiguation thing, but when I processed multiple files at once I wasn't given an option to disambiguate anything, so perhaps it is options? Perhaps I will be penalized in search results?

I would also prefer not to disambiguate because their disambiguation is a bit unclear (and makes for more work). for cold, for example they ask

cold as in:
regular cold
cold

well, I was meaning cold as in the weather, but which one do I choose. I am not allowed to choose more than one. Regular cold could be referring cold as in sick, but it isn't really clear.

Thanks for the helpful reply. Is there a reason you think this other than your hatred for istock?

Does anyone actually know for sure? I'd appreciate the input. If nothing else, I'm sure Brian will be by to clarify. I have uploaded my 10 samples, but I can't submit until I know for sure.

Veer has a very established and good brand and they already have customer base (that cannot be said of other startup micro agencies)
What I'm hoping is some sales that would bump my earnings a bit.

That's strange, I thought the email said we are going to get an "invitation and password" on June 8 before we can get into our transferred SV account on Veer marketplace.
