Today I want to introduce you to the translation of another interesting article from the Adobe Stock blog about the features of preparing content for stock in the current year, focusing on current trends. In fact, it would be more accurate to translate its title as something like “Shake Up Your Stock” but I don’t think that sounds right. So, I decided to add a bit of improvisation to the translation. I hope you like it.

That random internet search became a turning point; it directed me to microstocks, and Dreamstime was the first stock agency I registered with and sold an image.

In the Fotolia (Adobe Stock) blog, an interesting overview of stock trends for the upcoming year was published at the end of last year. Unfortunately, I could only publish the translation of the original now. However, I believe this overview may be quite useful for stockers, both beginners and veterans.

Recently, the stock agency Depositphotos sent out a letter to all authors regarding the necessity of filling out a tax form from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for non-U.S. authors (+ the instructions for filling out form W-8 BEN):

Everyone who has already started working with stock photo banks and achieved a certain volume of work faces the question of how to speed up the process of uploading and attributing images to stock photo banks. This question becomes particularly relevant when you work with a large number of stock photo banks simultaneously.

If you have decided to buy a photo from a stock bank, you will definitely encounter the need to pay for the photo (illustration) or illustration at the stock bank, along with a decent variety of payment options available.
