Default Websites that allow you to post images on other websites?

Hi, I just started uploading to microstock websites, and I notices some websites are exclusive and don't allow you to upload to other websites. So I just wanted to know, which websites allow you to have a non exclusive contract with them and post images on other stock websites, and which ones require an exclusive contract. thanks!

Honestly, I would be curious to know which microstock sites require exclusivity? Usually it's something you elect on microstock sites - not something that is required.

i tried adding images to dreamstime, and it looked like they had an exclusive contract. otherwise you couldn't register unless you checked the box that said you can only put your pictures on their stock site

No, you don't have to tick an exclusive box with dreamstime, it is optional. I don't have any exclusive photos there.

Do you read the terms and conditions etc before you sign up for the sites?

oh haha, nevermind.i saw this clause on the dreamstime where i thought you had to check the box that said you gave them exclusive rights or somethign along those lines. turns out you don't have to check it.

just curious, what did you guys start making when you started uploading your photos. i know it depends on quality, creativity etc, but what is your personal experience when starting out?

Hi David,


Most sites do not require you to go exclusive. It seems to be quite unusual for a stock photographer to choose to sell at one site these days.

Good Luck


Doug

The only site where anyone ever experiences instant sales is SS. At all the others, it takes a while for sales to kick in.
