Title: Snapwire
Post by: russianbeardedman on October 01, 2014, 11:17
Hey guys and gals,

Have any of you heard of snapwire. It's not nesseserily micro stock material but very similar concept. Kinda reminds me of stocksy style wise. Businesses request photos and you can upload your work upon their request and get pretty good chunk of money for it. I'm a total newbie with this site but it caught my interest. Have you had experience with that? Would love to hear your take on it. Thanks!

It's like imageBrief, but non-exclusive on requests.  It has a "credits" system that "awards" photographers and you move up "levels" that allow you more "benefits".

Sean, love your portfolio! Do you think it's even worth bothering with it. Just wondering how does it compare to micro stock money wise. I'm assuming the more you upload the better are the chances of someone buying it. Thanks!

I've only got a few up there for requests, so no sales, though I did have two moved to the "premium" collection or whatever they call it.  It's got two parts - the requests, and a stock library.

Sean, as I know you have moved some exclusive (premium) images there, right? I just was approved and I wonder about the exclusivity. Is there option to opt out of the exclusive move? I woudn't like to delete my images from other sites, I don't want to be exclusive at all... If they don't let me opt out then I will know to not upload my work here.
Thanks for any info :)

If you have images marked as Premium, they have to be exclusive. You can't opt out.
Haven't participated in requests, it seems the same people get nominated every time
