@shaloo walia  Yes you can go ahead with that site but remember you get Rs40 for a negative review and Rs 20 for a positive review. But beware when writing a negative view a company might come and ask for the detail so decide for yourself what you wish to do.

@peachpurple and @bestwriter  I have been trying my hands on professional photography for last few years and have earned lot of money selling my photographs to an Indian website that paid upfront for each of my 4000 photos. I use the same username on that site. I will not go in detail of the site as the program is now suspended for time being b…[Read more]

@ bestwriter  I agree with you but with some difference

@Ruby3881 When I mentioned royalty free here I had Pixabay in my mind because I won’t touch an image from shutterstock unless I am using them for a purpose (or someone is paying me for those images for his blog/article as I do ghostwriting sometimes too but in most case I leave the image part to author himself).

And permission to use Images and V…[Read more]

@bestwriter They give you tool to delete the watermark too if you pay them annual/image fee.  Pixabay is one of their sister concern which generally carries first row of Shutterstock images with watermark but those images are not for free use.

By the way, you can become a member and upload your images and if they get selected you get a r…[Read more]

@Ruby3881 There is no free trial period as such on shutterstock. You have to be a licencee user by paying an annual fee or pay per image as the case be. You have to pay according to size of the images as prescribed by them.

@bestwriter Royalty free images are the ones you can use on your blog but with credit to them. The use of water marked ones or the ones which need annual or one time payment is serious infringement of copyright act. The site has to pay for being careless in case of approval of such content on their website.

@shaloo walia I have also posted one on EW day before besides I am a regular on 2 Indian sites. However, I suggest you to stay here. maybe they have finished the quota for the current month lol :).

On a serious note, as I had said in the beginning that I can easily post 150-200 posts per month on this site but delay in publication is a deterring factor.

@shaloo walia I have not yet posted a rant post but I am seriously thinking to post one and money is not the concern but delay in publication. 

@peachpurple  I have 4 Chrome, Firefox, MS Edge and Opera but I generally use Chrome. However I use MS Edge in my office as it is the only one allowed for official login.

@peachpurple our water bill in our area is based on size of our house/apartment/homes. I pay a very small amount of equivalent to $15 a year. However, I have a submersible pump installed at my residence which costs me another $20-30/year.

There is no shortage of water in our area but as there is serious problem in certain parts of our country…[Read more]

@bestwriter no, the link you have provided here is not free. You can see the watermark of “shutterstock” which is proof enough that shutrstock has copyright on that image.</span>
