Microstock Photography Sites
So anyone else here submit to microstock sites?
I use a few, and it is a good source of additional income, and is great exposure. Upload your photos and have them approved and ready to download for print publications, design elements, advertising, websites, or art prints.
A few I use:

Which others do you use that are working out well for you Gracey?

Feature Pics – not everyone finds it as successful, but I make as much there (often more) than I do on shutterstock. Actually, lately I am making more on BSP even than on SS.
And there’s a new place – just launched so not a lot happening there yet and the main focus is clips, movies and animations, but their business platform is very interesting. Gives buyers an opportunity to submit a bid for your work if they feel you’ve priced it too high (you get to set your pricing) and allows you to have direct negotiations (through Cutcaster’s platform) with the buyer. I’ve been with them since before they started – testing things, helping amend stuff and making suggestions for the site. I uploaded a few things, but am trying to learn to create some decent vid clips right now. It’s called Cutcaster
Another place I’ve got a few (haven’t paid much attention there for a long time, but some are having a little success I suppose is Keen Images.
