Re: Fotolia
Fotolia similar to Dreamstime is microstock, they sell for pennies and cents and rely on you accruing lots of sales to make money. Unfortunately if you don't have thousands of images in your portfolio with them, you can't make a substantial amount of money out of them.
Alamy are different you get a fair price for your images, but even Alamy are now dropping there to sell prices now.
I dropped out of Fotolia 18 months ago, because it took a lot of effort for very little gain, Fotolia and Dreamstime take advantage of the fact that the subscriber gets great joy in selling one of there images. But after a while you realise you are giving your images away at cheap prices. If you are not interested in making money from your efforts then Fotolia and Dreamstime is fine.
