EL + Midstock Pricing = Happy!

We've been testing out Lucky Oliver's midstock pricing- with good results! Today, on an image with a 4X factor, we had an EL license at 200 tokens. Here's the image: http://www.luckyoliver.com/photo/2364098/young_woman_portrait?loaf=iofoto

As a long time stock shooter, being able to price your own work for standard licensing is a major milestone! I also appreciate that other sites allow you to price buy-outs. While the prices are far different than any traditional stock distributor, I truly believe that microstock and now midstock are bringing in new customers.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your experience.   By the time a lot of us can join the club it will cost $ to join, so feedback will help us make future decisions. 

I have heard only positive things about this midstock LO experiment.  Leaf had a nice EL a month back as well.   I'd like to hear more about everyone's experience with the sideshow when they have some time to evaluate it.

That's wonderful news and i certainly appreciate the input.

FYI, i've taken the opportunity to post that info on the LO forums as well... i think we need to have this info over there as well

Cool beans. 

I know we've gotten some push back from people thinking we're nuts creating a new space, but midstock seems to be working. I look forward to working with artists to increase their margins. 

After a week of talking with designers, they fully understand the value of providing an opportunity for artists to earn more margins. The upside for them is that it's a free market system- you need to compete for their business.

In the end, you get what you pay for!
