Nikitu is absolutely right, Dreamstime is paying more royalties for pictures that are being downloaded multiple times, as opposed to other agencies. So, it is a good advice to upload on DT only your best photos. I am used to shoot the same composition from multiple angles to be able to select the most appropriate picture for a specific design project and only select one for uploading on stock websites. This selection is pretty much based on my intuition that the chosen picture is the one that buyers are actually looking for, leaving many other good pictures on the hard drive. In my opinion, this is a decision that only experienced stock photographers can take and be sure they made the best choice from the first attempt. I'm pretty far from that point, but I'm training my skills on DT's Stock rank game - which is by far the most entertaining way of learning stock - even my children are having a good time watching and guessing with me when I play it. posted in Sales followup - adjust your portfolio on the fly
