1. Only Submit to One or Two Micropayment Sites
There may be one Microstock site that is right for you. But among the dozen or so running online right now, you may have only registered for one or two. Your best work might be hiding behind the wrong portal door. Keep looking for the right home for your particular brand of photography magic. Mining the possibilities of all the online micropayment sites is the best way to maximize potential profit.
2. You Use only One Photo Editor
Most computers come with the basic Microsoft Paint utility, and many micropayment professionals swear by industry standard software like Photoshop or Kodak EasyShare. Just learning the in’s and out’s of these softwares can exhaust e spare time of anyone. But there may be better software out there for your particular user style and interface preferences.
3. You have No Online Gallery
Working online requires a flash page with ready to show work in a composition format or style easy to show to prospective clients, friends, and contacts. Just organizing the online gallery can focus the Microstocker on their technique and saleable image portfolio requirements and challenge them for the next photo shoot. Without a gallery to maintain, focus for producing salable images stops at whatever site is rejecting your images. Play to the positive and maintain your own gallery to feel proud of.
4. You Haven’t Joined An Online Community
Getting peer feedback and review for your work is essential. But if so far the only person listening to your tunnel of silence regarding your Microstock progress, it’s time to find some support at the peer level. Join a forum and have some other members check out your online gallery for some community career growth and advice. other members can give you lens advice, camera choice constructive comments, and feedback on shots and images that can improve your techniques.
