So I am wondering if it is a good or bad thing to upload all the same images to several agencies?

Yes it is, for me.

Upload only to the top 6 or 7 sites. The rest are clearly a waste of time.

Which ones would you consider to be the Top sites. I am currently with Shutterstock, Dreamstime, 123RF, and Adobestock. If had to choose two more, which would be the ones you would recommend?

Alamy and Istock

Your portfolio links don't appear to be working at the moment, (not for SS, DT or 123rf). My links are working though, so you might want to look at what you've entered in your profile to see what's wrong (the Fotolia ones aren't working for anyone any more...)

I did find your Adobe Stock portfolio via a Google search

The animals, plants and flowers subject matter is a tough sell (lots of supply) but Alamy might work for you. You'd need lots of specific location and species info (some you have it; some isn't in the keywords). I wouldn't worry about about the low sales volume sites as I doubt the effort to upload would pay off.

What about some efforts during the shooting!!! Really Jo Ann? is this a material that sells on Alamy?

Do not hesitate to upload the same photos to multiple microstock sites. Those rare people who may notice your photos on multiple sites are not going to care about that. Your images are items for sale.
