I just signed up for Zoonar and have been busy uploading my portfolio. A few issues:
1. They only accept images over 6 MP. Many of my earlier images were between 4 and 6 MP.
2. They have not approved a single image yet, every single image I have uploaded (more than 600) has been rejected because “It does not meet their quality standards”.
3. At first I could upload 50 images per day, but now that they have rejected all of my images, I can only upload 10 per day.

I still have about 200 some odd images to upload, but I am very doubtful they will approve any of my images. I would steer clear of Zoonar unless I just wanted to waste a bunch of bandwidth and get nothing out of it.

The program definitely got me excited about Veer again. Hopefully, their summer relaunch brings in some customers. It would be nice to see the number of good earning stock sites growing instead of shrinking for a change.

Updated the post to include the Dreamstime exclusive submission incentive. Can’t believe I missed that one!

Thanks for the correction, Tyler. I’ve updated the post for accuracy.

I’ll add that the difference between 5 cents and 50 cents is hardly nit-picking. It was a just correction, thankyou.

Ryan B Mention it on MicrostockGroup – probably elsewhere as well.

We’re really happy with the way the Veer Marketplace collection has been growing this past year. Many thanks for your support. In recognition of what you’ve helped us achieve so far, and as a means to help grow our collection even faster ahead of Veer’s big re-launch this summer, we are making a push for more contributors and more content.

“Veer have launched an aggressive campaign to boost their microstock portfolio ahead of a major site redesign”

Interesting that you mentioned a redesign. First I’ve heard of it. Is there any more info on that? Launch date?

not meaning to nit-pick , but just to keep our history correct Fotolia was offering up to $0.50 per uploaded file and a minimum of $0.20 on a graduated scale.

0.20 credits for every uploaded approved image over 50
0.35 credits for every uploaded approved image over 100
0.50 credits for every uploaded approved image over 500
