a blast from the past!

10 years ago this offer was appropriate. When 0.38 was the lowest we were paid for an image and it was enough to upload few hundreds images a month to stay competitive. Even 0.5 was fine then or even $1 for video. But not anymore.

Now we get as earn as 0.02 per sale and microstocks want much more images. And AI is here to do the keywording - for free or for cents.

Dmitry, You have a Great Portfolio. I envy you. You have amazing images and videos.

I have priced my services for cents. I understand the dynamics of this market. Anyways, I am here to help.

false comparison - price rec'd isn't useful for determining what to pay for keywording - whether it's worth submitting at all is a separate decision

you need to add meta somehow - so the decision should be based on the cost of your time to edit images - if you can process 50 images in an hour, compare your hourly rate to the cost outsourcing 50 images. simplistically, if your hourly rate is $25, paying $12.50 at $.25 is a savings of $12.50. at $.05 you'd pay $2.50 - saving $$22. For free services, you need to consider the time it takes to prompt - you'd still have to add the result to you image meta. i'm not aware of any free services that process in bulk & update the image meta?

in the real world you may have to spend time correcting the AI results, so $.25 may be a close decision but at $.05 it's a no-brainer.

and if you don't consider the cost of your time at all, no price point will work

{cost of processing 1 image} compared to {cost of outsourcing} +{cost of finishing}

For free services, you need to consider the time it takes to prompt - you'd still have to add the result to your image meta. i'm not aware of any free services that process in bulk & update the image meta? are there any you can recommend?

no, there are no free services that I am aware of too. ChatGPT can be used for free, but it is slow.
But with the help of chatGPT you can probably automate adding metadata by writing some script that moves mouse cursor and copies and pastes. It will be slow, but you can leave it for, say, overnight. I haven't tried it but it seems quite feasible.

I am using imstocker AI keywording + keywording in SS. But as I do travel imagery, the main problem is not keywording, it is writing descriptions. After description is done, keywording is a breeze.
If I don't want to do it by hands, I can upload an image to ChatGPT, provide it with a description if I want, and with a proper prompt it generates really good keywords. But no one can write descriptions but me.

There is a script (again you can write it yourself with a help of ChatGPT) available for $60 that processes all images in a folder with ChatGPT and adds metadata. The cost is 0.0052. Virtually free.

Do you know a way to just press a button, and it generates hundreds of thousands of images for me, indexes them, uploads them to all the microstock sites, and the money goes directly to my bank account? I would like not to receive alerts for payments, it would disturb me.
Do you know a robot who gives good massages and is submissive?

Give me a link where I can buy this script?
Thanks.

yes, i do mostly travel also, and AI can't always tell the location of specific building. adding a description is a large part of editing, and that would be a large disadvantage of batches thru ChatGPT.

i've been using https://www.visualmind.ai/?ra=3233 {using this link will give you a 10% bonus on your 1st credit payment and i get 20% bonus credits} which lets you add text before or after a description - so i can add byline, or location. can also add tags. it does a great job, w only minor changes to description & costs about $.03 / image ($.09 / video which i haven't tried yet)

i had been using ChatGPT for tags, which helped but still took a long time

I know the one which does all of these this except for the money going to your bank account, you have to request payments from Adobe to Paypal and then manually withdraw it. But I don't want to promote it. It upload a lot of garbage too.
Sorry, for massage robots you have to wait a couple of years till Chinese will make one.

I haven't used it, so try it at your own risk. It is in russian, but I think you can use GoogleTranslate for page translation, and you always can contact the author.
He raised the price recently to 100, but there is also a subscription option available

1. For information, reviews from those who use this service are needed.

2. There is a big problem with this service from the very beginning. The author is Russian, lives in fascist and Na.zi russia and sets prices for his app in rubles. Paying this developer means funding Russian terrorists, orcs, the Russian empire and the Na.zi regime. Even if he personally does not pay taxes to putin and does not finance the murders of women and children, he still spends money inside russia and indirectly pays taxes and strengthens the Russian economy.
