Hello everyone, I have a new business idea I would like to get your feelings about.

Prices will be much the same as everywhere else, except this is about building a relationship with designers in your home town.

By doing this, hopefully you will build your business not just in microstock. And you will receive income for photo sales, not just your own photo sales.

My idea is to create a site for your photos, but instead of spending cash on Google Words, give you 10% commission for photo sales for any designer you introduce, FOR THE LIFE OF THEIR ACCOUNT.

Basically, you would doorknock your hometown designers. You would introduce yourself as a site photographer and give them a quick speil about its virtues. You would hand them a voucher for 10% discount with a reference number to get the discount. This reference number would be your account number. So for ever more, 10% of the sales from that account would be linked to your account.

500 designers spending $US250 a year could make you an ongoing commission of around $US12000 a year! Once they created an account, all you would have to do is drop by once in a while or give them a phone call to see how things were going.

I am thinking of 25% commission for the photos.
10% commission for the sales.
Plus I would spend money on advertising.

Please tell me your thoughts.

the idea is good. Just consider a more generous royalty to photographers. 25% is a bit low, I guess.
Best luck

Microstock is a full time job for me so I really don't have the time to be knocking on designers' doors. Too time consuming for the income that will bring in.
