For those of you who have already started your work or are just planning to earn from microstock agencies, you are probably asking yourselves who buys images from these agencies. I believe newcomers also have the same question. And honestly, I’m sure many are curious about who pays for the work of microstock authors.

It happens that many respectable photos and illustrations are rejected by photobanks due to similarity or likeness, with the original wording “Similar.” Microstockers who upload technically perfect works with good commercial potential are stunned by photobank rejections due to similarity.

In November last year, the administration of the photo bank Dreamstime conducted an analysis of the search queries used by buyers trying to find the images they need on Dreamstime. Moreover, the queries selected were quite frequent and popular at the moment, but did not yield the desired results for Dreamstime buyers.

For those who are just starting their work on the photo bank Dreamstime, I remind you that Dreamstime has introduced a strict regulation on the use of the keyword “vector” when describing works.

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 significant player 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.
