I don't think they will pay for uploading.  Sales are going to be slow, if they appeal to the old StockXpert buyers and can get some of them back, they will pick up.  I hope they let more people in and build up a strong collection while they have this opportunity.
Why would any buyer commit to a collection of 500K while he can find exactly the same images in collections of 8-12 million to choose from?  Shocked

You could say that, at least it seems that they are not in a hurry expanding the portfolio by reviewing applications and letting in new contributors Smiley

I guess we are looking into a Crestock right?

Stockfresh have started more than two months ago and must have like TONS of applications to review.. why is that? as we read in this forum they are rejecting... why so long to get in?? something must be wrong there..

Agree...

If it's anything like CRESTOCK - in review times - in hysterical so called "quality" level, then I'm not sure I will put in much time and effort in uploading and submitting..

Reviews have been quick for me, just like they used to be with StockXpert and only a few rejections.  Nothing like crestock.  I still think some old StockXpert buyers will use them instead of the site that closed StockXpert down.  I will give them some time to get the site going, they said they were going to build it up slowly, so I don't understand why people are surprised when they are doing that.

I am surprised because of the very first post here on this site, from June 1:

Launched today:  http://www.stockfresh.com

They gave me a lot of notice, but I was still rushed in putting together a quick review:  http://www.microstockdiaries.com/stockfresh.html

Highlights if you're not into reading too much:

- 50% commission, can rise to 62.5%
- 35c subscription credits, and subscriptions are limited to Medium size and below
- Upload process is smooth and smart, model release management, FTP, IPTC, all that you'd expect
- Nothing overly new on the buyer side yet


Here is a paragraph from the above blog...

Quote
Today, the new agency opens its doors to both contributors and buyers. The site is fully functional and well refined. It’s not even in beta. It’s actually easier to use and faster than many microstock agency websites that have been online for years.


I have signed up with 11 different agencies over the past 6 years and NONE of them took over 2 months to approve applications. At the most, a week. To be generous, two weeks. That's why I am surprised.

Don't you think that 2 months aren't enough, at least to reject???

2 months doesn't seem long, remember what they said earlier in this thread:-

"We would like to ask for your patience as we sort through all the applications. It might take a while because we would like to grow our customer and contributor base side by side, and we might not be able to let everyone in immediately."

When I read that, I expected it would take a long time for them to go through all the applications.

I just don't get why not approving once they are actually rejecting applications.. don't understand the policy.. don't want some contributors and others just want to leave on pending... Tongue

They are approving as well, or I wouldn't be in.  I don't know if they are doing it by the application date, I applied a few minutes after the first post about them in this forum.

i'm sure they're approving in sequence by the 'guage' and sharpshot's certainly higher than ours.

i'm not as excited as you all since i joined StockXpert past its glory days and the current hemera collection is doing a lot better on thinkstock than it did on StockXpert. freshstock may offer higher commissions but it better have a slew of buyers too.

I got a lot of photos at Hemera but they aren't bringing as much sales as from partner program (and a lot less files)

I agree.  Reviews have been quick for me also.  Sure, I've had rejections that I didn't understand, but that happens with every agency.  Definitely much different that Crestock.....at least for me.

Hello Everyone,

Finally I had some time to pop into the forum, so here are some updates on how things are going:

First of all thank you very much for your continued patience as we're getting up to speed. We reached the 200,000 image mark last week and have over 350 contributors on board. There are about 500 contributors waiting at the moment. The vast majority of applications get accepted of course (some sooner, some later), but if we let everyone in at the same time there's going to be chaos! Wink We still have a very very small team which we will soon start to expand to be able to handle more images. Anyway, once you're in, reviews are quick. We're doing our best to get everyone's content online as soon as possible, with the least effort required. By the way we're starting to see some sales which is great considering that we haven't really started marketing the site yet. We're going to work on that as well in the near future.

If you have any questions, you can reach me directly through the contact form on the site.

Thanks!
Peter

There is definitely something wrong in all the new incoming microstock sites like Stockfresh. It's lacking of real professional spirit. Only 24 files can be submitted a day, that's ridiculous for starting. The sites opened with tons of already over used pictures of the most famous microstockers, always the same photos everywhere...  nothing new at the horizon...copy and paste, cloning and cloning again...nothing exciting.

Everyone's just trying to sell what sells well. You might be bored with the top sellers, but customers sure aren't, at least not yet... Wink You have every opportunity to create any kind of image you like and revolutionize the business like those people did. You can have the next big idea. As for the limit, it might sound ridiculous, but when there are hundreds of people just like you (even thousands on large sites) trying to upload 25 images per day, you can do the math how crazy things can get.
