My photography site, which is separate to this blog, has now got a new look. I encourage you to go visit http://photosbykathie.com/ to have a look around. I have quite a few photos listed at stock photo sites now, which are linked at the photography site. And you can purchase prints and cards via my…

Update on Stock Photography
Well, my submissions have slowed down but the sales are happening. I now have a total of 161 images up for sale at 9 different sites and have sold a total of 34 photos across 6 of those sites. Not big earnings but at least a step in the right direction. And I’m finding that…
Stock Photograpy VII
Just another tip for you. I was checking my stats at the individual sites to see if any more sales were generated and noticed I still had some pending files at some of the stock sites. Even though iSyndica submits to the sites, not all the sites accept the photos straight away. Some of them…
Submitting to Stock Photo Sites VI
Thought I’d give another update. Well, I’ve got some photos that have now sold several times over. So it’s starting to pick up. Time for me to upload more images and keep building my stock. Interesting though, that I heard from yet another stock agency overnight. I’d loaded images to them weeks ago and had…
Submitting to Stock Photo Sites V
An update on the progress of my stock photo submissions. I have a total of 93 photos submitted across 7 different sites now. My submissions have slowed down – I need to go through more photos and view them at 100% to make sure they are suitable for submission. I’ve bided my ‘wait’ time for…
Submitting to Stock Photos Sites IV
I’ll start to report on this monthly now, instead of weekly, however, I’m entering into my 4th week and am now registered with the following sites and have so far sold 9 photos for a very small sum. I’ve also got a total of 93 photos submitted across these sites – some will accept photos…
Photo site
You may not be aware I have another website showing and selling my photos. The site is called PhotosByKathie.com and this is where I list photos I’ve taken at mountain bike (mtb) races to sell to those participating and other events. Many of my stock images are available there as well as a list of…
Submitting to Stock Photos Sites III
Thought I’d report in and let you know how things are going. If you’re into photography have you tried out iSyndica yet? I discovered this week that not all the stock photo sites actually notify you when a sale has been made so imagine my surprise when I logged in yesterday to iSyndica and discovered…
Submitting to Stock Photo Sites II
Well, the end of my first full week with 85 images submitted to 5 photo sites. Interesting experience. Not all of the photo sites work with the same criteria for photos so while some accepted all, or nearly all images, others would knock them back because they were ‘too snapshotish’ (not sure exactly what they…
Submitting to photo stock sites
I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent researching stock photography sites, reading articles, reading about photo submissions, submitting, creating keywords and choosing categories, getting rejected and waiting for the ‘wait time’ before starting all over again. But I would say the time spent would add up to some weeks of ‘working or awake’…
