Ways to support the site
|
Participate in the discussion
By taking part in the discussion on the site, you are adding to a community and educational environment we all can enjoy. Without
the many friendly and active members, Microstockgroup.com would not exist.
Share a Microstockgroup link
If you have a blog or a website you can easily post a link to microstockgroup by copy and pasting from any of the following code boxes.
Microstockgroup.com - A meeting place for microstock photographers
Microstockgroup.com
Become a Premium Member
For $25/year you can become a Premium Member of Microstockgroup.com.
If you are already a premium member, clicking on the link will add an additional 12 months to your current membership.
The benefits
of being a Premium Member are
- Access to the "Members Lounge" area of the forum
- Ability to participate in the Microstockgroup Premium Members iStock Lightboxes
- All advertising is removed from the site
- Access to Premium Members "live" chat
- satisfaction of supporting microstockgroup and at the same time financing a Kiva loan :)
- ... possibly more benefits to come (suggestions welcomed)
|
|
When a user becomes a Premium Member of Microstockgroup.com, the $25 membership fee will immediately go to support a
Kiva Microloan. Once the Kiva microloan has been repaid by the entrepreneur the funds will be withdrawn from Kiva, and
go towards supporting Microstockgroup.com. A way to support two good causes in one :)
Use Microstockgroup referral links
Sign up on any of the following microstock photography websites by clicking on the provided links
Or, if you are buying gear you can use one of these links.
