My upload process

[Snap VectorsParticipant]

Hello. I have uploaded 32 images…. and have 2,089 images left to upload to my Symbiostock site. Ugh.

I wanted to share my upload process and see if any of you could critique it. I would love to hear any feedback on faster ways to upload.

1. I upload my files (with IPTC data included) via FTP.
2. Click “Process Images”, then go to “All Images”.
3. Click “Edit” on the image. Add categories and Yoast SEO info. (keywords and descriptions were already added via IPTC).
4. Click “Update”.
5. Repeat. One by one by one…

Are there faster or “batch” ways to do it?

I have Leo’s Premium Plugin installed, but don’t really know how to use it yet.

Thanks!
Nate

doing the same way here, 1 by 1;
it does not bother me to pay attention to each image before publishing

Categories
I bulk edit categories before doing individual images
All images area, select images that will have similar categories, then at to p of page select Edit from bulk edit dropdown menu and click apply

Then add categories to those images, if some are slightly different add all that apply as added categories appear at the top when editing so it is much easier to delete them than to scroll down and find each one individually, save

Then open a few images in new tabs, so while one is saving you can start work on the next

Thanks for the advice on the bulk processing of categories. That makes sense.

I was afraid I would have to do it one by one. It will take time, but like sandorgora said, it is good to give individual attention to each image. I know that variation and precision will help the SEO.

Thanks,
Nate

At the moment the Professional plug in bulk editing overwrites any ratings and model releases so you need to add those when you add licences IF you are offering different licences.
