Rodeo searches new talented artists
mjp:
Can you tell us something about your sales volume per month? And is your marketing targeted only for Finnish customers and how your customers base and quality standards differs from plugi.fi (www.plugi.fi is another finnish RF stock, which pays 40% per image licensed)? Do you accept images with finnish keywords too?
FlemishDreams: The alexa rankings is not quite correct when you try to get details about Finnish site, because nobody uses its toolbar in Finland or the search engines where te alexa gets it data. But ofcourse if the alaxe ranking is good then the site gets lots of traffic.

Excellent questions!
We are 5 years old agency and our sales volumes are very comparable to our Finnish competitor Plugi. Though our strategy is different as we are also accepting foreign photographers and joining is free of charge but just limited. That way we can better handle our growth and maximize the profits for the active photographers. At this point when we aren't starting from scratch the volume ain't only point what counts. Sales are divided by the number of photographers and our number are very very small compared to our competitors, that is our strength which also means that individual photographer gets the best possible exposure for their portfolio. Not to mention how easy the submitting process is.
We accept images either English or Finnish keywords. We have a translation engine so clients can make the decision by themselves what language to use.
We aren't involved in any ranking lists. At least we aren't aware of any of them.

I guess, new talented artists should command Finnish otherwise they have no chance in this agency.
Minimum upload of 1000 pics looks like this agency wants to collect as much pictures as possible in a very short period of time. And then? At this point, smart cheaters should desappear with all the collected photos.
Looks like barefaced swindle...
Peter:
I will join you if you pay me initial 2000 euros in advance. I have 2500 images to upload.

This is silly. If they wanted to collect as many images as possible in a short time, they wouldn't ask for a minimum. Do you have any real information about them or are you just making it up?
