istockphoto upload?

[kerriann85]

Just found istockphoto (thanks arcospark) and wondered if anyone has ever submitted photos to them. Does it really "pay"? I don't care about the cash but would love to earn credits to use to get other images from there.

Kerri,

I have the same thoughts... have you done this yet?

Mike

No Mike, I haven't. Maybe I should the pose the question somewhere else too. I'm curious!

[MikeH]

Kerri,

I was looking at the "photographers" section of the iphotostock site yesterday. I can't see anything that tells you how much credit or dosh you get each time someone downloads an image?

Have you found this info?

No Mike, I've spent the week taking, editing and producing a slideshow of university dance concert. Haven't even had much time to visit around here.
Maybe in the next couple days I can find out more. In the meantime if you find out anything keep me posted!

Kerri,

Sounds as though you've been having a good time .

I'll let you know if I find anything out. :wink:

Dave,

Thanks for this...

So, every 50 downloads I could buy $10 worth of credits...? Sounds a better deal than the reward points on my credit card where I need to spend a few thousand pounds to get a toaster!!

Thanks for handling the research Dave!

So Mike,
Do you have 50 photos someone would want to use once or one photo that 50 people will want to use? :wink:
