I still can't understand how an RF image could be used as part of a logo. Given that logos are (normally) trademarks. I don't see how an image which has been RF can then be TMed. Equally I don't see how an image which is known to have been included in a logo can also continue to be sold RF.

It would be great if someone could explain this.

I wish these agencies would allow single photo purchases. I expect they would make more in the end as so many non-pros balk at buying more credits than they need for the little project they are making.

Our agency (The3dStudio.com) DOES allow single photo purchases! No credits or subscription plans. One product or more are paid for with any major credit card or PayPal.

If you are not already with us, and someone wants to buy a few of your products, you might consider becoming a member of The3dstudio.com. Then upload the products and use your referall link to direct your prospective buyer to your products at T3DS. They can purchase just the few photos they want with no credit and you will make a sale you might not otherwise get on one of the big sites. Assuming the purchaser is legit and that you haven't signed any exclusive deals with other agencies of course!

We pay 60% royalty (75% to those who sell exclusively with us) with no minimum payout amount if you accept PayPal payments.

Pimping up a nearly two year old thread!

It is old, but in this case it is pretty valid, since they approve images almost instantly and allow single image sales, so protection kicks in right away, for those that would not consider a direct sale.

It may be an old here but the situation still comes up. Just offering an idea in case anyone here can use it to make some sales. Self serving to some extent, yes, but as an agency we don't make money unless our members do (photographers and our 3D members) so we naturally want to do whatever we can to help you.

We are working to not only attract photographers and build our library but also to get the word out to buyers that we now carry stock photos and images. We advertise our website but we also stress that our Members can help themselves by finding ways to promote themselves. So if someone hears that sales aren't being made because of the "credit" system, they might be able to get a sale this way.

This site has tons of great info and advice--just because it wasn't posted yesterday doesn't negate it's value. I am a relatively new member of the forum and am still digging my way through as time permits, so I assume as others join they will do the same thing.

We're working on designing some little banners for website ads. There is very little space for wording so we are trying to decide what is the most important thing about a stock agency--royalty rate or

Any thoughts?

Also looking at places to advertise for stock buyers and we welcome suggestions.
