If you’re earning or planning to earn from microstock agencies, you might be wondering who buys stock photos from them.

I believe newcomers also have the same question. Honestly, many are likely curious about who pays for the work of microstock authors.

Often, too many high-quality stock photos and illustrations are rejected by photobanks for being too similar, labeled as ‘Similar’. Microstock contributors who upload technically flawless works with strong commercial potential are often surprised when photobanks reject them for similarity.

In November of last year, Dreamstime’s administration analyzed the search queries buyers used to find images on their platform.

If you’re new to Dreamstime, be aware that the microstock platform has implemented strict rules regarding the use of the keyword ‘vector’ in image descriptions.

So, you’ve registered as a contributor on the Dreamstime website. What’s next? Next, you need to start the actual process of working on DT (Dreamstime).

This involves learning how to upload your photos and illustrations to the photobank, correctly describe (attribute) them, choose the right category for your works, navigate your Dreamstime account menu, and ultimately, once you’ve earned the minimum withdrawal amount, withdraw your earnings.

Dreamstime has established itself as a top microstock contributor site in the stock photography industry, offering a vast bank of stock images, videos, and audio files to meet the diverse needs of content creators, marketers, and businesses worldwide.
