I was accepted as contributor within a few days but next four photos submitted took over two weeks.

I received (IMHO) a strange rejection reason for one of them.

I might have been impulsive but I canceled my account.

Time is precious and at that rate it would take months to get even a small gallery squared away.

After 2-3 months, I'm up to about $35.00 - and my portfolio on there now is approaching 300 images. Sales are slow, but on average about .50 a day. It's definitely worth uploading to, just not as many sales as Shutterstock or Dreamstime. The rejections can sometimes be harsh, but they're not as bad as some of the other sites.

One of the reviewers called me "Dude" in the rejection notice. What am I? The Big Lebowski or something? :roll:

Default Sales at Canstock

My sales at Canstock are very slow and have got worse in the past 2 months. Doesn't seem to matter what I upload or if they sell on other sites. I have about 40.00 there but now I'm wondering if I'll ever make a payout.

You've basically summed up my status with them as well. Crap - $100.00 payout seems a long way off. I'm going to hang on, just keep submitting to them and hope sales pick up. At least I could always convert the earnings to photo credits, and download some great stock photos for my collection. I use them all the time in my magazine & editorial designs at work, and I sell my own shots part time

slooooooooow, the site loads slow, the sales are slow. It was one of the first I joined after coming over from RM. It took me almost a year to get a payout with the same images I Have at SS and DT which pay me that much every 5 days. Does that tell you anything? I'll stay with them, because of loyalty and there on the list but????I dunno. cant reccommend, sorry.

I talk to the top 50 Earning submitters on all of RF sites quite often because, This is what we do, It's a business to us. everyone is in agreement. It's just not cost effective to keep uploading to them. I have 758 there, It took me 13 months to make $100.00???? and it seems it will take that long to make another $100.00 This is stupid. I make that much every 5 days at SS alone and they are my 3rd top site. Same images. I gave him a free image a while back and it got 300 DL's. I told him to take it down. Im done giving my work away and im done wasting my time on a site that cant or wont spend any money advertising. Cant afford it. why waste time on a site that doesn't promote my time and work. I'll keep what I have there unless he reads this and throws me off but to upload more? New sites like stockxpert gave me a payout in one month. Im not buying the old "Were new" stuff anymore.

I just hit HALFWAY TO PAYOUT!!

Big woop - it's been only 6 MONTHS!! ugh..such a nice site, I just wish they had more users and more sales. I can make $50+ a month on other sites in ONE month, let alone 6.

I hope things improve, they started out strong, but it seems like things are dwindling. I still continue to submit at least 10-20 new images a week.
