iStock |
|
The first, and maybe still the largest microstocksite. |
|

Shutterstock |
|
The second of the "Big 2". Sells very well. |
|
| |
| |
|
| |
Dreamstime |
|
Not as big as the previous 2, but still a site which sells a decent number of your images. |
|
| |
| |
|
| |
Fotolia |
|
Nearly as big as Dreamstime. Still a good seller. |

Big Stock Photo |
|
The smallest of the "big 5". Some say they sell not enough to be worth submitting to. I'll give them the benifit of the doubt :) |

Sales at SXP are mixed. But some say they sell more there than at BSP. I don't submit to them, 5 is enough for me. |

Photographers Direct |
|
This is not a microstock site. Here you are just brought into contact with buyers. Prices are much higher, but sales are also much slower. If you have a lot of travel pics, this is maybe something for you. |

Alamy |
|
Those who don't like micro's could try Alamy. This is a macro agency with fairly good sales. Photographers who contribute to both Alamy and micro's say they get an equal share of both. |
