Title: Ever heard of premiumphotos.net ?
Post by: BelieveInStock on September 12, 2017, 05:43
Got an email asking if I am interested to work with them and offer my images for their bundles they create and sell. Has anyone ever worked with them??

Here the guy explains how it works:

hmmmm...no info about them. At all.
They want LOTS of pics. Which presumably get sent to 'affiliates' to sell. Who knows...
The whole JVZoo product range sounds to me like a kind of pyramid sales thing (just Google it)....

Doesn't sound my cup of tea.

Never heard of them, but the WhoIs data (https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=premiumphotos.net) for the web site says it's owned by Nico Prins from Somerset in the UK. JVZoo is an affiliate marketing outfit, so I'm guessing Nico bought the Kool Aid and is trying to build his own empire.

Search found that JVZoo is owned by BBC Systems Inc and looking at the LinkedIn profiles of the two who are owner/founder/partners it screams "run away" (sleazy business that is more about making them money than anyone else)

I can't imagine giving my content to an outfit like this

His tag line is "Follow me and success will follow us both" - really...

And the link from his twitter page is to this skeazy looking site (that requires Flash to run, suggesting he's lazy and not keeping his sites up to date as well as everything else)
