MicrostockGroup

Hi All,

I would like to start of by mentioning that I have no images up for sale directly or in any microstock agency at the moment. I have been doing some browsing of selling directly through external companies and have created a resource I hope many will find useful.

Here is a list of companies that provide services (Websites, Printing, Advertising ect) for selling photos directly:

• http://www.ifp3.com/index.cfm
• http://www.instaproofs.com/home/index.html
• http://www.photoshelter.com/
• http://www.ktools.net/
• http://www.fotomoto.com/
• http://www.photodeck.com
• http://www.adpic-solutions.de/index.php
• http://www.clustershot.com/
• http://www.avidimages.net/
• http://www.viewbook.com
• http://www.zenfolio.com
• http://www.smugmug.com
• http://www.viewbook.com
• http://www.stockmediaengine.com

My personal favourite from reading and browsing through their site would have to be Fotomoto. Fotomoto provides you and your clients with a friendly and very well polished store, not to mention they print and ship your images for only %15 of sale price (after printing cost). Fotomoto also have a variety of sizes and materials to print on. You can see a working example of Fotomoto at http://jmfox.viewbook.com/images_by_jonathan_fox. Fotomoto isn't exactly designed for microstock but can be very handy if your interested in selling images such as Landscape, Wildlife, Cultures ect.

From roaming around the forum, Ktools seems to be very popular. However unlike Fotomoto Ktools charges a once off and upfront fee of $249US for their photo store and a further $95US each for Photo Show and Photo Host.

I hope this resource comes in handy. Any feedback on adventures into selling directly or other ways of selling directly would be pleasant, as I am willing to update this post if requested.

Kind Regards
Will Dutt

No no no, I am not trying to sell or promote anything. I just made a resource and though some may find it handy. Just trying to be helpful

I am not quite sure, you could try contacting fotomoto or by asking a question on their community.

I know viewbook (another method of selling directly) has websites from $4 which work with fotomoto.

You forget Smugmug...

I tried smugmug but they didn't have options for people to buy in sterling.  I might try Zenfolio.

i joined 500px which is free and support fotomoto..

but still looking forward to sell digital downloads in RM way..
