Title: Stock site links...any money in that?
Post by: donding on January 08, 2010, 19:30
I know some of you have links to the stock sites rather than to your portfolio's on those sites. Do you get a % of anyones sales if they join through the link when they get their first sale?

I'm beginning to think that's another avenue of income if that is true.

Looks as though I should try pushing people towards Shutterstock, then.  :P

I read the link that sjlocke posted and it explains it all much better. I have my own website but don't do anything with it...the photos I have on there are really old. Maybe I'll redo it so it can be a market place for different stock sites. I just need to figure out how to market it. As one of the sites said...don't just put a bunch of stock site banners on there because customers will wonder why you have to put all your photos on all those sites if your photos are so special . They also tend to shy away from the site if it just has a bunch of banners on it. I know I'm that way. If it's all banners I will go elsewhere.
