Does anyone else on here submit and sell their photos on micro stock sites such as Shutterstock and iStock? I have five sites I upload to. I have noticed a very wide range of acceptance rates. Getting a photo accepted to any one of them doesn't ensure it will be accepted at the others.
Has anyone else found this to be true?

hi ,
in the beginning , i started with several stock sites too , but then i found out how hard it is. first of all , your account has to be accepted , then , your photographs have to get submitted , then you have to give them keywords , and all that for maybe selling 2 of them at a rate of 0.20$ each. So now , even though i think my photographs are of enough quality to get trough the submission (go and have a look yourself : http://www.flickr.com/photos/7789227@N08/)
i dont give them to stock sites , because i dont think its worth it.
so far my opinion ;)
