New guide for beginners - "Brutally Honest Guide to Microstock Photography"
Brasilnut:
Hey all,
As some of you may already be aware, since November last year, I've been painstakingly drafting a comprehensive guide to Microstock.
It's taken a hell of a lot of work and I've settled on close to a whopping 200 pages, with just as many example images, to reflect the complexity of the business.
Here's the table of contents:
Chapter 1 – Microstock Photography 101
Chapter 2 - What's in my Camera Bag?
Chapter 3 – Achieving Technical Excellence
Chapter 4 - The Legal Side of Stock Photography
Chapter 5 - Licensing Editorial & Commercial Images
Chapter 6 - Overview on Agencies to License Images
Chapter 7 - How Much Can You Expect to Earn (The Extra Mile Isn’t Crowded)?
Chapter 8 - Creating Interesting Images
Chapter 9 - Finding your Niche
Chapter 10 - Keywording
Chapter 11 – Workflow Optimisation
Chapter 12 - Getting the H*ll Out of Microstock!
Interview with Joas Souza, London-based Architectural photographer
But it's not about quantity, it's about quality.
I'm really sticking my neck out on this one and telling it how it is (the good, the bad and the ugly).
To get this ball going, once published soon, I'm going to GIVING AWAY THE GUIDE to 5 people. All you have to do is go to my word press blog (link is at my signature) and underneath its latest post (with the same title), put down your email address. Thereafter, all I ASK is that you give me your brutally honest opinion of the book, either here or on the blog! I won't feel offended if you hate it (which you won't).
Not to worry if you're too late, once published, it will be for sale for $5.00 for a limited time only, thereafter $10.00.
Happy shooting!
Alex

The last chapter of the guide does not inspire to pay 10 bucks for it.

Microstock is over. I've heard that knitting is the next big thing...
I am looking for a brutally honest guide to something that is sustainable in the long run...
