Title: Add Canva and FAA (and other POD sites) to the poll
Post by: Painter on May 20, 2014, 02:38
I intend to participate in the poll here next month, for the first time. But I miss Canva on the list. So far Canva is my best earner this month, better than SS, FT, DT etc

But my one sale on FAA this month beats them all. Why not add FAA and the other POD sites to the poll? There are discussions on this forum about sales dropping at FAA, so I think it would be really great if these sites were added to the poll, even if it's not microstock. Maybe a separate poll list for POD sites.

And I also wish there was a poll about which agencies people consider as the most fair-trade ones.

Canva should perhaps be added but I'd held off on adding the POD demand sites because I feel they aren't quite microstock.  I know lots of people use them to make money, but they aren't really stock photography  (although I'm happy to open a discussion about that).  I also haven't listed ebay or etsy where people could sell images or t-shirts.  I'm trying to keep the voting list somewhat tightly edited towards microstock.

That might be very useful. Even such a modest push back in support of producer interests would be good to see! Perhaps it could be a positive "disruptive" influence in the market.

 Understood, but of course it's no secret that many of us have lost interest in microstock and are looking more and more at POD sites as a way to make a little money from photography.  And new POD sites will be appearing.  Maybe you'd be interested in spinning off PODgroup.com?

I can't find any references to a POD site called "Canva".   What is it?

Canva is not a POD site. Check this thread:
