yes, symbio is easy to setup & maintain, but still takes time, esp'ly to add hundreds/thousands of images; I've stopped adding to my site and instead point to SS - simple to do and generates real $

How come? I upload photos and it's easiest of all 'agencies', just drop files on favorite FTP program and they will be ready for sale in minutes. No need to apply model releases and all that jazz, no rejections ...

AND symzio has never taken off - very few artists,  and lacks coverage in entire areas (look what you get for searches on India, Italy, Germany or Paris.  'Grand Canyon' shows 14 images of the Hawaii version!!!!! )  so why would a buyer go there rather than SS et al?

Agreed. We just need to look in mirror :)

Those sites are like ... minutes to set up. Uploading to them is faster than most of the agencies and lately it seems like uploading is getting to be more ridiculously confusing. When Symbio first was released everyone was all excited ... for a few months. Then realized that it does take time to build momentum and sales. Once it started looking like work and patience people started dropping off.

There were a lot of reasons people gave up on symbio - I think building the site was the least of them.
