Hello Friends!

Late update from yesterday, didn't have much time to post, after hard morning and busy afternoon I start the computer at 7PM, trying to speed up the work.

So, Let's start from something nice for the eye and go to details...

What about good and bad news?
Good ones are... hmm, let's say,. I am still alive ;)

Not the best are:

• Dropping as hell price of STEEM and BTC - it is really hard to invest when all the crypto world is sayin, it will rise before the Christmas... and what we can see is totally opposite. Little mindf*ck for someone who is not well experienced crypto investor...
• Very quiet month in my Stock platforms - it is hal of month and all I have earn is few bucks... But this is how it is, never give up, do Your job and the results will come in time (that is what other says ;))

I just uploaded the first pack of 133 photos, which I prepared some days ago, filling up all the Metadata - read my latest post if You don't know what I am talking about.

So, these are my experiences from each platform I am having accounts right now:

• Shutterstock and Alamy - photos already uploaded earlier and all the data filled up manualy - that was the time when I learned it is better to do it before uploading, saving our time on filling up the same stuff in every other stocks...

• Depositphotos - all the process is quite fast and smooth, 100% approved

• Dreamstime - time consuming process - for every photo we must choose 3 cathegories manually and we don't have option to do it for many shots at once - there is some tool helping to fast copy data from latest prepared photos, but is not so great in use for me. It is strange system to work only on one photo at once...

• 123RF - still waiting for my first shots to be approved...

• bigstock - Uploading only through FTP - I never used that so I had to install the FTP client, I am using Filezilla at the moment, but after all, no problems with updating data, we can work on many shots at once and choose 2 cathegories. Only thing worth mentioning is that as a new user I could do only 15 shots. They have some restrictions about number of submitted photos depending on Your approval rate. I have now 100% approval so after I gathered 15 shots - I can prepare unlimited number. If my approval rating will drop down, I will also get limited number of photos.

• EyeEM.com - still watching and trying to understand how this platform works ;)... it is more like a 500px I think, people are liking, commenting on Your shots and they can be also purchased... I don't really know yet if I want to invest my time in another photo-social-media-platform. I just don't have enough of it...

Plans for today - prepare another pile of shots, ready to upload on my stock accounts.
Boring stuff but must be done.
