Macrografiks - The new agency for macros and still-life photography
fa:
Hello,
I'm the founder of Macrografiks, a new agency focused on macros and still-life photography. We've been online for few months as a beta version, still building our gallery so we are looking for creative photographers to join our site:
http://macrografiks.com/
We offer a Non-exclusive agreement for all contributors, so you are free to sell your work on other places. Our fixed royalties are:
60% for Standard Licenses
80% for Extended Licenses
For more information and how to apply visit our Join page:
http://macrografiks.com/join
Attached you will find a small selection of the type of content that we are looking for. We aim for quality and our selection process is strict but we don’t look just for professionals. What we like the most are creative people who want to get involved on a regular basis, so they become an important part of our platform.
Feel free to ask questions in this topic, I’ll try to answer them soon. Also, you can contact us at: http://macrografiks.com/contact
All the best,
Francisco Aveledo

I am afraid that at this stage your post is ignored to a large extent. Not due to the members not being friendly to new entrants, but due to the history of people starting up new stock sites in a time where most are struggling to survive and even the real big players are in a price war to keep market share.
If you want ANY reaction here, you will have to come up with much more than the intro you gave here. You will have to convince us why your site is going to survive and make money, while at least 10 of your predecessors did not and wasted a lot of the contributor's valuable time.
What are you offering which is different, which market are you targeting which is new, how are you going to target this market without just "having a stock site" and waiting for business to come in, or will you wait that the contributors bring them with their portfolios?
Let us hear it all please, else you will probably have to suffice with beginner contributors who are still prepared to throw their images at anything which remotely might bring in a Dollar or two..

Fair enough CD123! I understand your position but we all have to start from somewhere and the first step to take is to give a short introduction about the site, so those who could be interested will visit the web page and find out more about our offer. Probably a next step could be to show our project presentation where there is more information about the idea and the business in general, however we need to update this document with a less private information.
Our main target are designers and people working on creative areas, like design studios and ad agencies. We come from the design industry, we have been stock-image consumers so we understand how designers work and what they need when they look for resources. One of our main plans is to establish a direct connection between our content and our audience, by bringing ideas on how to use macros and still-life photography. We are still working on a new section in our website that will cover this part but as soon as we implement it I can post about it. However, the best way to be informed about news and updates is to subscribe to our newsletter on the footer of our website. Also you can follow us on different social media.
Thank you for your comment and your suggestion.
CD123:
So you target market is the same as all the big agencies and you are not bringing any spectacular new approach or strategy into the stock industry which will separate you from the rest.
I wish you well.
