Contributor

Hey everyone, how to be a pond5 contributor? i want to sell my product, but i only can upload and save it. I can't submit for reviewing by pond5 curator.

You are likely not filling out all the required fields in the submission form. Look carefully sometimes it's not very obvious what you are missing ... make sure you enter all the required data (Audio? (Yes/No), set price, keywords (there is a minimum as well as maximum), something in the description, not too long, etc. what camera used, etc .. some fields are not required but several are.

Thanks for Applying to Become a Pond5 Contributor!
We’re in the process of reviewing your ID and you’ll be notified once it’s been approved. Feel free to get started by uploading some of your work while you wait.

I have that notice on my upload page.
do I have to wait for the approval email first?

Oh ... right .. forgot about that. Yep ... I think so (wait for the confirmation). If you don't get it fairly soon email support@pond5.com and ask if you can do anything to help the process.

They just want to make sure you are a real person with real intent to sell real media, rather than (yet another) shyster or cheat. Be patient, keep making media to upload, and good luck! This is after all a serious patience game, on many levels.

Also I think there will be a higher influx of new contributors at the moment so things could be a little slower than usual, as Mizamook said above, if you feel you are waiting too long give support a shout out.

Okee thank you so much for your answer. I really appreciate that.
