This is very interesting. I hope that it brings in more business. Every month I "just about" stop uploading to them, but I still have faith in their ability to pull in a few more customers.

I looks like a very useful tool. When I first started with microstock I spent 1-2 hours a day checking my stats, etc.

Now that the novelty has worn off, I spend very little time doing this. I try ...

With only 3000 images online it hasn't hit that critical mass to make it worthwhile for most of use to submit images. I already submit to about 7 agencies and some of them are still a gamble.

I keep hearing that a new Image Manager may have the disambiguation process built in. Is there any news on this?

I really wish they would get their ...

I have been making more than ever on Dreamstime, but I consistanlty submit there. I try and submit at least 15 images a week to each of the agencies and I have rarely seen a drop month to month. Janua ...

I must state yet again that I don't understand why Fotolia site is so slow, how can they be making money. Do people put up with it because they haven't found Dreamstime?

I don't have a ton of additional equipment, but then I do a lot of outdoor shooting. Simple strobes, some filters, bags, etc, etc, etc.

What do I do if my main stock camera is over $2000 ???
