I have been a stock photographer for over 30 years. I am a member of ViewBug and enjoy it. I both enter and create challenges and enter the bigger contests. If you look at it as a way to learn and update your skills it is a great site. It can be fun for beginners and pros alike. The bulk of the 'winners' don't get more than a pat on the head type award so you aren't going to get famous.

I am completely pleased with Zibbet. I opened my handcrafted jewelry shop less than a year ago and have actually had more sales than I had hoped. I compared the three major sites and chose Zibbet because they seemed to offer the best membership deal. I chose a Premium shop and locked in my yearly cost for life. Zibbet also does not take a percentage of the sales. I have also had excellent response the few times I've had to contact them with a question or request.

I felt that Artfire, while probably a good site (I've bought from there) didn't fit my shop as well and I ruled out Etsy (I've also bought from there) because as I browsed through the "handcrafted" jewelry I saw much that were cheap mass-produced items.
