I had started my first attempt at selling stock images using PhotoShelter Collection. Just started getting the ball rolling when they shut down.

I would like to continue to try and sell some stock images - what are some other sites I should look at?

I have an account already with Alamy, but never did anything with it.

Others I should look at?

Thanks,
Michael

Personally, I'd try for Getty (in the US) then work my way down to iStockPhoto. Do you have 2000+ images that a stock bank might be interested in?

That's what my stock buddies tell me I need, if I wanted to get into that market.

Cheers,
David

I've sent an application to Getty twice and never heard a thing. I've sent follow-up contacts and nothing. Makes it tough when you get no response - not even a declination notice. I really have no idea if they ever received my submissions, if the were ever evaluated, nothing. I would prefer just a simple declination notice so at least I know my images were evaluated.
