Author Topic: Doing all of the "Big 6" - is it worth it to stick with the newcomers? (Read 4320 times)

Hi all,

I'm doing all of the "Big 6" agencies, which already takes some time to upload, review and submit. I'm also with many of the "Up and Coming" agencies. I'm now considering to discontinue doing all the "Up and Coming" ones except those which have a "upload and forget mechanism" such as Lucky Oliver (there are other reasons why I will stay with them) and 123RF. These smaller agencies which do not have a _very_ streamlined process eat up as much time as the big agencies but don't get me much cash. I'm not sure if they are worth the time.

What do you think? What is your feeling? What did you do?

All the best,
Michael

Based on Leafs list ---->

THe 3 up and coming I submit to are 123rf, FP and LO. All are very simple upload.

I am holding of the others until I see results, including snapvillage.

I think those (like me) who experiment with the new companies are hoping to be in the new best selling site from the start. Maybe it's an illusion, but... As long as a new site shows something different and it's easy to upload, it may be a good idea.

Regards,
Adelaide

I agree. Easy uploading has become an important criteria. I want to invest my time in making better photos rather than handle awkward upload procedures.

I deal with two (well three now with snapvillage) of the up an comings and both have fairly easy uploads. One, canstock, I've been with almost since they went live so I feel somewhat attached and keep hoping for the breakout there.
