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
