Oh well.. had to happen, huh? I guess the approval process for images on different stock sites is completely different. I’ve submitted the same images to Shutterstock as I already have up on Istock and they were promptly rejected, well 4 were, which meant that they didn’t actually go through the rest of the images I submitted. So now there’s a month long waiting period before I can submit a new set. I’m gonna change my strategy here. The next set I submit is going to be the 10 images with the most sales/most views. End of rant.
On a different note while I wait I decided to try out another stock agency, Dreamstime. I haven’t really had the time to experience every aspect of this service but I do have to say that their approval time is pretty long. On the other hand they have no entry requirements, and allow ftp uploads. As far as selling images goes I don’t have much of a portfolio on Dreamsitime so I can’t expect much in the way of sales yet.
