MicrostockGroup

Veer was a macro agency long before they added Marketplace. They've now merged the two price collections of their site and are selling them  side by side. During the search process buyers can select the price they want to pay, along with other parameters.

Oh its much easier to get into Corbis then say the Getty-RM, nowdays anyway. Corbis is very much middle of the road stuff and I doubt very much my collegues material would come to its right at Corbis, dont think they have the market for it.

Frankly I don't know if any agency , RM, RF or micro has a clue as to what to do. Veer was a much respected niche RM agency. Now it's a carcass of it's former self. Trying to do a Frankenstein routine by cobbling together bits and pieces that Igor gathers.

Hi Largercreek,

Yes, Corbis is very alive. They are the second largest revenue producing agencies in the world behind Getty. Getting in is tough but that kind of specialty work sells well I am surprised he was rejected. He could go through a third party agency that is multi distributional and would allow him to sell his images through Corbis and dozens of other sites as apposed to just one and still only produce RM. He makes a smaller percentage with a third party but makes up the difference in being able to supply one hundred agencies instead of just the one. I would love him to contact us at www.SpacesImages.com that is just the kind of work we love to see.

Hi Largercreek,

 Yes RM is very alive despite what some people might say. Our company saw sales in the first two weeks of going live and that was through Corbis first so I know they are still making people money. I would tell him to try again it might be who he spoke to that day. The other thing is if he said he was already shooting for Getty it might make a difference but not usually. We don't have a contract with Getty yet because they are very hard to get into but I just keep banging on the door, someone will answer eventually

Best,
Jonathan
