[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Before I submit photos to stock agencies, I always search to see what is already available. Sometimes I think mine is much better and go ahead and upload it. More often, I forget about uploading and go on to something that nobody has. If you can get a good rating so your photos come up first in a search, you have a chance; otherwise, if there are thousands of the same subject, look for something less common. Rohn Engh advises this in his Sell and Resell Your Photos books. Go after a market where nobody else has thought to provide photos. That is becoming harder and harder to do!!
