Default Stockxpert

Stockxpert

Stockxpert is fairly new, and was recently purchased by Jupiter. They offer FTP uploading, easy-to-find catagories, and a fairly decent userface. Sales have been slow in the past month, but hopefully their affiliation with Jupiter will change things.

Sales are still incredibly slow, so I'd advise taking a "wait and see" approach for now. I sold 3 in February and 3 in March with a gallery of over 100...that's it.

I have found sales to be surprisingly good for a new site. I've been with them for just 2 months and am already over half-way to my first payout ($50). I'm consistently seeing a few sales each day. Definitely a "keeper" so far.

Default Great return for a new site

I have nothing but praise to say for Stockxpert.
Returns of $1 per download for medium-sized images ($2 per image on XL- size) ftp uploads, batch-keyword and categorizing.. It was a snap to upload a large portfolio and review times have been minimal (not more than 24 hrs) with few rejections. I've had my images up for only a few days and I'm already making more in sales on Stockxpert than from the older, more established sites. I love the site's functionality and compact, usable design too.

Five stars from me!

Sounds good guys, I think I'm sold. The weather's too nice out, today here in Connecticut - I think I'm going to have to take my camera and find some good stuff to shoot

The best thing about this site is that it doesn't actually take more work. Provided you keywords are in the exif data, and if you decide not to categorise, then all you have to do is ftp upload and that is it.

Just upload, nothing else.

Default and the 2nd best thing...

The second best thing is definitely the payout - US$1 is the highest average return for a medium photo on any similar sites, (please correct me if I'm wrong!) unless maybe you're an exclusive diamond canister earner on iStockphoto.. of which there is zero chance of that happening in my case!

You'll love it, Supe.. just don't submit too many photoshopped gradient desktop/background type of images - mine were all rejected as being not what they were looking for.

Is there no referral program at SXP? I'm going to try and register there today or tomorrow, want to use someone's link if I can.
