Title: European microstock agency
Post by: maggieddd on April 04, 2006, 11:37
Anyone know of any good European microstock agency?  Just curious, maybe getting paid in Euros would bring bigger profits.

Stockphotomedia are based in Sweden so you will get paid in Euros.

They offer 35-55% of the sale and their prices range is 2-6 euros so if you do manage to sell something, its good 3.3 euros for a  4 mp photo

I have now 281 photos with them and they have had about 30 photos since the 9th of March and no sales yet. Maybe worth sending them your best sellers to see what happens before doing a big upload.

I have added an earning part to my guide what agencies pay ( if anyone spots any mistakes let me know)

On the plus side they extract title and keywords from the EXIF tag and usually review the photos in 24 hours and have a reasonable acceptance rate.

Then there is the others, such as scanstock, gimmestock, stockphotomedia, crestock, ... but I have only had 1 or 2 downloads on those sites and have around 100-500 images on them.... I will upload more if they ever start getting a few more downloads but until then, it is a waste of time.

Leaf wrote that on the 8th of Feb, so any more sales in the last two months with stockphotomedia Leaf?

I've tried both Scanstockphoto and StockPhotoMedia.  I haven't got a single download in a month with Scanstockphot and their website isn't all that great.  I got 1 download with StockPhotoMedia in a month. I submitted about 200 images to both places.  I'm probably going to abandon both of them

nope pretty slow all around at those sites.

Canstock still is trickeling in, but I am still waiting for my first payout after over a year.

stockxpert however is on the quick rise.. I am getting downloads every day, usually $1-$3
