G'day

My name is Phill,
I am an Australian guy Currently living in Denmark,within the next 3-4 months I am moving to New Zealand.
I have experience uploading to DT,SS,123RF,BigStock and FOT
I would like to offer you my service as a Microstock Submission Editor.
Which entails attaching MR's ,choosing categories,I also do a 5 word priority sorting of keywords on FOT
ALL Keywords, Titles, and Descriptions must be in the iptc metadata.
I realize that the only realistic way for this to work would be for Us to sign a nondisclosure agreement,
As I would log into your account submit your files and log out.
I will provide a copy of my Passport as Proof of who I am.
I use Skype to keep in contact.
 I Prefer to work contract as I am a very hard and fastidious worker.
My experience tells me that my employers prefer me working contract when they see the results.
For serious persons interested I am more than Happy to talk further about prices,contracts,etc over skype,or email

                               



                              Attached is a Link to my resume,
                              So take a look if I have caught your interest
                              Kind regards Phill

No one who is serious would do this

No one who isn't serious is going to pay you to upload their photos

No one will give you their account and password

I don't see where you are going with this

My first thought was that it would mean giving a stranger my passwords, and access to my earnings on the sites. I think its great that you are looking for original ways to earn money, but you need to think this through a bit more.

This is a good service idea! I think bigger ones can be interested in your service. And as more references you have more people will trust you.

I was thinking I could help small people too.I got the idea from a fellow microstocker.
I will be doing his in a few months too maybe

I think the idea is not so bad. Probably you won't find many of us needing your service, but maybe few of them could contact you, especially those who submit hundreds of images per week. If both sides sign a contract, than both sides should trust to each other.

Exactly Like a non disclosure document :-)

I think to "working on a contract" is hard to realize for the smaller ones. A service where i can send in my pictures and i would be charged per image/session and complexity would be much more appealing, some kind of security for the passwords should be also provided (sending copy of your passport to your customers etc.)

I would want a contract and  a non disclosure agreement and of course I would be willing to provide a copy of MY passport.
I would only do the images on a piece rate, For example one image for 30c .But of course there are a lot of factors involved.

I think it is basically a good idea.

It is just a matter of the details, how much does the service cost, what is included and the like...

Keep us informed, I would be interested.

Well in regards to pricing and the like It all depends on the stock site.
All work will be on a contract(piece)rate.
If someone is seriously interested we can talk about that outside of the forums :-)
I am very flexible and also thinking about keywording as well

Good idea, it might be useful for bug volume submittters. Good luck< i hope it works out for you!

Thank you Goldenangel,
I must add that because it is a piece rate it would also be a good idea for small people as well.

I think this is a great idea. The biggest thing slowing me down is the submitting process. I have hundreds of images waiting, but I run a design studio as a 'real job' and getting my submissions up is the biggest hurdle. I would consider doing this.

For people like me that are perpetually busy with work, and bill by the hour - taking a few hours out to submit photos every week costs me a few hours at my billable hourly rate, because I could be spending that time on clients and getting paid for it. The more I think about this, the more it makes sense.

I'm glad everyone thinks its a great idea to give up passwords and usernames to someone who has a reference or two.  Who knew it could be so easy

This is the NON-Disclosure Document I have been talking about :-)

And contracts are so effective if I get ripped off and the other party runs off to a country with a) no laws, b) not a care for contract law, or c) just somwhere you cannot be found, what is that contract worth?

This is a horrible idea and someone is too lazy to upload their own photos, perhaps you should find some other way to make money.

People are complaining they dont' make enough money per download.  Add to it overhead of paying someone else to upload, where do you get to keep the money you earn in this business?

I wouldnt want a contract per say but more a non disclosure agreement and a copy of passport is also a good idea.

You want a copy of the persons passport !!

This is the dumbest sequence of ideas I've seen in a while.  First you want passwords, and access, now you want passports?  Who are you? and why are there people gullible enough to give you what you ask?

I guess you dont have better things to do with your time then what you are doing in this post Ichiro 17

Play nice, all people here are potential clients to you... I would try and convince Ichiro that my intentions are benign.

In reply to Ichiro 17 I would like to suggest to you that my intentions were purely to offer some of the busy people a helping hand to get one of the most time consuming microstock jobs out of the way. I apologize for any grievance I have caused

That's OK we all make mistakes, but this does raise a concern with me:

For me personally the whole uploading process accounts for a large proportion of my time, time that I could spend better doing other things running my business, so a service such as the one you've hinted at ( you'll see what I mean in a minute) is something that would be of interest to me. BUT my advice to you would be that you go off and work on a better proposal package, when I target a new client I go in and offer them the complete package in detail, explaining exactly what I offfer and what they'll get for their money, so far having read all of this thread I'm still not sure how you're going to operate.
For instance how do I get my images to you in order for you to upload them for me, and how exactly would it be a quicker and more efficient way than me using FTP to upload them to all the sites myself as I'm currently doing.
A second and even more concerning part is that you're offering keywording services, I mean you no offense but clearly English is not your primary language, judging by your few posts here I can say that at present there's no way I would trust what I consider the most important part of the upload process to you.

I'm all in favour of anybody starting a business, especially if that business is one that could save me time and ultimately increase my workflow, however I'm not one to give my money away.

Good luck in your venture.
