Have a well-edited porfolio ready that shows your images can make money for them.
Can advise on what kind of images are these? i.e. what genres would they be interested in?
u can also look at online sites such as shutterstock and istock as well.
Shutterstock and istockphoto need a scanned copy of your driving license as verification. I feel this is troublesome. My preferred is Dreamstime & Fotolia. In fact, I just signed up for Fotolia. Hope my images pass the review.
Referrals does not earn you much but it is interesting to see many referrals under your name.
troublesome-ness ensures quality. finally accepted by shutterstock after 4 tries and sales come in everyday. initially 8 pictures and i got 5.50 on my first 2 days. now after 6days, i've about 16.25. hope it doesn't stop there!
i swear getting rejected for 3 times earlier was a pain because shutterstock got to wait for 30 days before you can resubmit..and i'm glad i'm finally onboard. haha

It used to be very easy but they stepped up on Q.C. since they've grown so big. Ya, its quite fustrated to have your images rejected, especially when they were not entered in the category they want you to.
Dreamstime was a pain sometimes too.
They always say "Poor lighting setup, poor contrast or incorrect exposure." when nothing was wrong.
they cant find better reasons to reject u mah..haha
Lifestyle images featuring beautiful people in exquisite settings would be a hot seller.
