Hi,

If you are new to iStock, and are wondering what to do next, then why not post a message here to announce your arrival in the community. Everybody will be please to meet you. If you haven't already, reading the Introduction provides a good overview of how things work.

After that take a peek at the Civics Companion to get a good handle on the place.

The Support/Guidance forum and FAQs are here to help you get on your feet. If you have any questions or there is something you don't understand just drop a message in the forum. There is bound to be somebody who can help you out. While we welcome members from all corners of the globe our forums are English only.

If you are feeling a little lost, and can't find your way around the site - check out the site map. It may point you in the right direction.

There have also been many questions about keywords and "disambiguation". There are two excellent articles that should get you started:

Word Power (new and improved)

K is for Keywords (an oldie but a goodie)

If you have something to celebrate you can announce it in the "Woo Yay" thread at the top of the Off Topic Forum, where you'll also find various "races" to different milestones and even a gallery to showcase your first download.

After the last minute of the last hour of the last day of the Month (Calgary time) a thread starts up where everyone can share their sales stats for the previous month. Check this main forum around that time. Threads that pop up before that time will be locked.

Please keep celebrations there and hello's here. We've got over 30,000 contributors and over a million buyers, so it helps keep the forums from getting cluttered, as well as allowing the more experienced istockers to find threads where newbies are asking for help, and to provide answers.

A fun way to show your work is the PTOTW (Pimping Thread of the Week), look for "PTOTW" in the thread title and knock yourself out. You can read more about it if you want.

Rules:
1. Sometime after Saturday, make a PTOTW post with a subject you'd like to post an image for.
End of Rules

Previous PTOTW:
PTOTWs

Here's how to create "similar" links in your file descriptions.

If you have a question about a rejection you can seek peer feedback in the Critique Forum, and if it seems it was rejected in error you can submit it to Scout.

Here's a great run down of Who's Who.

Check out iStockscoop, which is a constantly updated, RSS enabled, and searchable archive of every great iStock related resource ever created.

Go make some connections in the Meetups forum!

Thanks, and welcome to iStock!

ps - for a good laugh, here's a public service message on
Posting and You

hi I've been here for a little over a year now and got over 800 images (some sell better then others). Never announced my arrival so I thought better late then never or is it too late?

Hi everyone here at i-Stock, I am new and it seems slow to get reviewed on this site, but am excited to be here and sell my work.

Hey all! I just "got accepted" this morning and I'm stoked! I love taking pictures and am hopeful to make a little money as I do. I'm also hoping that the istock requirements will force me to get better.

Hello to everyone! I was one of the last to announce arrival in the old thread, but I want to be one of the first ones on the new one! I have 3 files accepted since a week ago, one download. That's a happy start! I think this will be fun.

Same here (newcomer that is) - got through the first wave of "approval" and now waiting on my first uploads to take. Looking forward to sharing my images with the world and seeing if there is an interest out there for them.

I joined a month ago and love it here! I do wedding and portrait photography, but enjoy taking pictures of just about everything. At the moment, I have an even dozen images in my portfolio, but hopefully that will change soon since my upload limit is maxed out.

Welcome & enjoy!

HI, I just joined and waiting from my first images to get approved. So far, I especially like the fact that the people who do the reviews of the uploaded picutres take their time to comment on every single photo. Thank you for that!
