I'm new to stock although old to photography----went digital just a few months ago, only because of discovering microstock. I have a small portfolio (around 70), I'm on 7 of the big sites, and Shutterstock is by far my best seller and favorite. One thing that still confuses me is that even though I have a 90-100% acceptance rate on all the other sites I submit to, on Dreamstime it's a dismal 60% or so. It's almost never for technical issues, mostly "we have too many of these" even though I purposely submit ones that they don't have very many of. They're accepting all my people shots, so maybe I get assigned the same reviewers each time who don't particularly like my choices of non-people subjects. Whatever. Either way, I'm plunging in feet first and not looking back!! I hope this site really takes off and grows!
