Dreamstime is quite a good site for me, Probably my 4th best seller.

Definantly worth uploading too.

Morch, I must be losing my mind...Dreamstime was totally revamped, just checked again and it's the same old Dreamstime. They're talking about it on the message boards, so I'm sure it will be back up.

Any thoughts about exclusivity at DT? I ran the numbers really quickly (based on Achilles post) and it looks like it's worth it for me between the time I spend uploading everywhere and what I earn everywhere else as opposed to at DT. I correspond with an admin there and I'm going to ask what the requirements are - not sure if she'll be able to respond until the announcement but I'm really excited about the idea.

Personally exclusivity at Dreamstime would not be worth it., It only brings in about a quarter of what SS does for me.

If I were to consider exclusivity it would be at Istock,

But... it depends on where your images sell best. Is DT a good earner for you compared to the other sites?

According to my calculations, if I went exclusive at DT I would earn $3.00 less per month and I would gain at least 15-20 hours of time with uploading, keywording, categorizing, managing submissions.

We'll see what the future brings.

Thats well worth doing - (if your calculations are correct)

Also you have to consider the stability of the site you are going exclusive with.

The problem with Microstock at the moment is that it's very difficult to work out trends because everything is so new. 12 months is a long time...
