have not got invite.
its probably probabilistic so not always the same match turns up, if at all, and the algo could have changed between the times you both searched the same picture.
beta means there is no guarantee for anything
Looks like you are searching a different image.. I was searching for this

I did that again and it still shows me the same results. I notice that you have a similar photo in your portfolio which has more downloads.. this one has only 4 downloads..
I received the invite almost within a few minutes. really beta indeed haha varies for invitation too
its the same picture, i have the same one on istock which sold a few hundred copies but couldnt find it at all
And if you want to know, straits time uses alot of istock photosbut dreamstime is way better
noticed that too, why do you say dt is betteR?

I dunno i tried both and istock just has TOO MUCH and i seriously mean too much "security" or processes even before you can upload photos. but dreamstime also has it's down side that it's upload pending takesforever

ST and Today both use alot of stock photos. iStock is still way better than DT for me, get way bigger payouts way faster! And thats what matters.
What kind of terms are involved? Or do you just register & upload?
Thanks ... Linda ... photographer Abu Dhabi
they have their individual terms and conditions but basically the same. its usually free and we just receive a small commission from each sales.

Yea i want to add on
I know lots of peoples whos ports are all done on prosumer and digicams as opposed to DSLR. Its not always the cameras fault.
And finally I just received first $100 payment from Dreamtime after 8 months as an exclusive photographer in DT. I opt to pay by bank cheque. I think this option will loose some money by bank charges. Anybody any previous experiance for this??
i started the stock photography after reading this thread and there is a lot of valuable advices and comments here. Once again thanks for everybody.. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

No experience with bank cheque. But i think there is some transaction lost, not forgeting to mention admin fee.
Why not get paid by paypal? Of course, when you get a chque fr Paypal, you suffer that same lost too.
I channel the funds to my paypal so that i can use them to pay for my other online purchases. Hope this helps.

Thanks. I dont have paypal account and i will take one. I believe Paypal is less charges than bank cheque.
