Thanks Katya and Andrew! I was beginning to worry, It took me a while to figure out what stock realy was! Then my acceptance rate began to climb. Now I have 118 images for sale, but only 2 hace sold so far. At least its a start!

Thanks Mike! Whats the best stock company to work with in your opinion? I am with Fotolia right now, but have slowed my uploading to them in hopes of getting accepted with alamy!

I am with IStock and Getty...but there are many more options now-a-days. Have you tried any Greeting Card Companies? Once your numbers get up there it seems to really fly. Keep uploading!!

I have not really pushed like I should on the stocks in the past year due to all my surgeries...but the more you upload the more your chances. I am sure, with all the talent on this board, many of these guys and gals would have some great ideas.

Thanks again Mike. I feel your pain, this is my first full year in the last 4 years without a major surgery! My last one was a total knee replacement caused by a motercycle wreck 15 years ago. Thanks again, I will look into those other's!

Thanks Darrel! Actualy sold another today, who knows~ Mike , sorry to here that. You got me beat by about 48 bones! My right legg was almost tore off, but at leat the bone in that leg did not break. Can't say the same for the other. I have not rode a m-cycle since 89.

What stock service do you use? I was thinking about starting to U/L some of my pics as well. What are the parameters? File sizes? RAW or Large Jpeg?

[guitarbug]

Daylon, I use fotolia.com, but I would rather alamy.com they pay more I believe. I am waiting to find out if my 10 images are good enough! With fotolia the bigger the better, must be real sharp and focused! I highly recommend looking at thier site to see what sells. I didn't and a lot got rejected first! Thanks!
