Today I discovered something that is going to greatly improve my workflow. This toolbar for firefox has a slew of features, the greatest of which (I feel) are the workflow functionalities. When you submit images to certain stock agencies, you always have to go through and check off boxes or click certain buttons before pushing through the submission. I always referred to this part of the job as “pushing” as many other microstockers do. Well, pushing just got a whole lot easier for Fotolia, Shutterstock, and Dreamstime. More features are sure to come, as the toolbar gets developed further as time goes on. Thanks so much to Rob Davies (follow him on twitter: @bobbigmac) for all of his hard work on this excellent tool.
You can also enter in your username for FT, SS, IS, DT, BS, SX, and 123 so that it will instantly alert you of any new sales, as well as your current total earnings. It reads all of this stuff from cookies, once you’ve logged into each specific website.
The bar does way more things than I even have time to mention. Read the full instructions here: http://www.picniche.com/toolbar/help.aspx
TIP: to hide the toolbar for more screen space, simply middle click on the P icon that shows up at the lower right hand corner of your screen.
