Age Old Question

JimP:
Why a sub site? Who's going to do the reviews? And everything Jo Ann and Michelle and everyone else suggested. A co-op site with exclusive content sounds much like Stocksy and that's what you should try to emulate. That's a good site, co-op, with powerful plan and good direction. Read about Warmpics it was the best attempt I've ever seen at group agency, based on people from here.

I didn't think Symbiostock was a group, it was individuals and they were supposed to share links, but some people decided they wanted to tell everyone else how to run their own private sites. There was all kinds of back biting about what material others had. Consider that self review but others wanted to meddle in my affairs and tell me about my content. Self appointed power grabs, you know who. I never saw Symbiostock as a co-op.

I think the jaded majority on here is due to years of seeing profit margins getting squeezed until there's no hope left. It's not their fault, just what the industry have persuaded them to think.

I'm just speaking for myself, but I am actually reasonably happy with not having to deal with advertisement, public, legalities, etc. I am not the one with no hope left, I'm doing fine. But then again, I don't do videos, so maybe something is different in that area.

Cider Apple:
Thanks everyone, really good views.
I think the video market is a rapidly growing sector and I've seen my sales more than double in this last year alone. Portfolio of over 6000 clips, been in this game since 2011.
I've been doing this full time now for 3 years so trying out new ideas.

I just see the likes of storyblocks as a multi million dollar site and all it is, is about 10 of us to join together to create a cool and modern site. I take it that it's a little hard work, but nothing is free in life.

I don't know too much about other startup sites. Symbiostock seemed like millions of websites trying to link to each other which I really didn't get? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Again I feel video is a growing area which has room for a contributor led co-op.
Not sure how many video contributor visit here?
