Title: Macro/Midstock site and exclusivitiy
Post by: indust on March 26, 2019, 04:58
Hello

I'm curious is there any macro/midstock site which not require exclusivity? Or at least you could upload images from the same series to other agencies (even microstock) and just keep 2-3 photos exclusive to a specific site?

Is this possible?

Thank you!

LOL that's a good one. I never considered until @indust asked. Is that absolute, none of the better sites, midstock or whatever term people use, will accept anything, except exclusive.

Thank you for your reply! Unforunately I never had any sales on alamy, and I'm not sure why.

Read the "How was your (month)" thread every month on their forum and you'll get a clue. Many of the people who have good months there are supplying Live News. Other than that, most of the big value sales are to the US, often of the US.
But if you compare the number of files people have with their number of sales, you'll see how low it is. And often the ports are good, though usually not the 'micro' type of files.

Alamy is not very good. A lot of returns too.

I'm looking at submitting to ImageSource. Maybe you could submit some series images and see how it goes...

Not much out there for non-exclusive on macro agencies but I can understand why. Good luck :)

And I don't Blame them If I started a site tomorrow It would be exclusive 100%
