Newbie Discussion / Re: 300-500 Images - looking for the best selling option

« on: July 13, 2017, 08:48 »

Hi all, cheers again for all the good feedback - with regards to MS, I think im sold on the idea of uploading some of my more commercial work - Most of which is pretty generic and would fall into editorial.

With regards to my personal work (as per my link) I think you're righ - MS is probably a non starter. this quote though....

Look into Arcangel images as some of your images could be covers of books, also Trevillion seems interesting.

....has me thinking. Both of those examples are right up my street I think, and personally (assuming I can get in with them) I think my arty/landscape work would sit well on their sites. If anyone knows any other agencies who are similar Id love to hear them!.

And again, cheers for the help!

They are very good pics. They don't have an obvious market for MS to me...but as I said before put em up for sale and find out ...if they don't all you've lost is a bit of time. Some might sell as wall art on the likes of FAA.

Yeah, totally agree. I think the stuff that I dont post probably has much more potential, but at the same time is quite generic (is that good/bad, I dunno).

The more "arty" stuff has more potential in places like FAA...Well, thats what I suspect anyway.

I have another avenue that I think does give me some good potential to earn money though stock and thats CGI. Most of the CG work I see on stock sites I could do better in my sleep. But thats a hard sell currently as work in that area (its my day job) keeps me busy enough already. And not sure I could find the time to do stuff outside of it.

It depends on how unique they are, if you can provide a link with a sample that would be helpful for me/us to judge better on their marketability.

Here you go

I would say though - this is the work I personally like doing. I have a backlog of sunny days/sunset/more general shots that have never seen the light of day.

Good luck, it's tough out there and applaud you for your enthusiasm, remember it's a marathon not a sprint!

Im pretty pessimistic about the whole thing. I don't expect to make much of anything, and Ill be happy with some beer money! but at the same time, seems like a potential missed opportunity not to upload them to a few places just to see what happens

Newbie Discussion / 300-500 Images - looking for the best selling option

Hi All... i have about 3-500 images sitting on my hard drive doing next to nothing. Im slowly uploading them to Fine Art America with the hope to make the occasional sale there but there.

Ive also uploaded a 20 or so images to Istock, and Im also registered with Alamy (2 images uploaded).

Obviously early days so no sales.

My question I think is a pretty simple one.

Given my image amount who should I sign up too / Is there a recommended limit / whose good, whose bad?

And is it problematic to sell the same image on one macrostock site while also selling it on a microstock site?

BTW - Most of my work is landscape, I dont expect to to be a big seller, its probably not that commercial.
