I remember when I first started working with Getty Images (then just iStock) and Shutterstock. As a budding microstock contributor, these stock photo agencies were real treasures, offering a stable source of high income from selling my vector illustrations through their platforms.
A couple of years ago on my blog, I already discussed how to register with Moneybookers and how to withdraw money from Moneybookers. But time goes on, and things gradually change. Just last year, Moneybookers announced an upcoming rebranding of their brand.
We always strive to choose the perfect price-quality ratio when buying a product or service. For purchasing a stock subscription plan, considering the high-quality requirements for images on stock sites, the price has the highest priority.
Usually, there is catastrophically little time during shoots, so I try not to step on the same rake. I don’t want to repeat the typical mistakes of many beginning photographers who once stole my time, which I could have spent more productively on better collaboration with photo stock agencies and improving my professional skills as a photographer.
Many novice micro stockers often find it quite difficult to understand the specific jargon used by experienced stock photographers, which is filled with various slang terms and abbreviations.
For beginners, one of the challenging moments when uploading and attributing images on stock photo sites is the selection of keywords.
First, it’s difficult to determine which words will be keywords for a specific image; second, it’s challenging to choose the best-selling keywords from the entire list of possible words; and third, many stockers simply don’t understand the purpose and value of the right keywords.
