I recently signed up for a Photoshelter account and was wondering if anyone here is using it to sell stock. If so, are you having any luck with it?

Photoshelter is not about "luck" unlike stock agencies. It's used to service clients, in other words you should expect to drive traffic to your archive. I usually direct people to the archive via lightboxes or direct links after they have contacted me from my website.

Hi Zack,
I just started using Photoshelter last month, and I'm adding images as I can. It's a slow process with satellite internet.
Still trying to get the hang of it, so I can't really say much...So far so good

Howard: Checked out your page, very nice so far. Yes it is a slow process uploading images. I use the Photoshelter uploader and set a group of images and leave it overnight. If I may suggest to add a description to each of your galleries it will help with your SEO. Also, if you name your files with keywords it will help as well, even if you have a naming system already you could just make copies of your files and rename them in a seperate folder. I know a little about this, as I have designed web sites before. Check out my gallery to get an idea: http://www.photoshelter.com/c/zackclothier
I am curious about looking into the Photoshelter Virtual Agency, not sure what subscription plan you must have. I am currently using the standard subscription.
