I have started a website as probably some of you know. Recently I added a microstock news sections. I try to collect all microstock news and post a short summary and a link to the news. My question is, is this something a microstock photographer is looking for and would be valuable information? Would you look regularly at such a page?
Is it worth the work. If no one cares about such information I probably would stop posting news on there..and focus more on photography again  :)
Here is the link: www.freezingpictures.com/news

Yes I know there might be still some spelling mistakes..

Love it!   ;D  Although there are other news sites around, they tend to encompass the entire stock industry instead of limiting the news to microstock.

Is anyone interested to be an author for the microstock news site?
Benefits for now would be to be able to include your referral link in the articles you post.
Requirements are:
To have some background in microstock.
To have good written English (Better than me :-))
To post once in while. you do not have to post a certain amount, just when you have time and want to. There is no contract of course and you can quit any time you want.
 I moved the news section to a blog: www.microstocknews.blogspot.com. It is not perfect, I know, I will work on it to improve the site. However that might take some time.

The topics are everything news related to microstock. The article should be as objective as possible even to people who hate microstock, so no insulting of course. (Well maybe the posts can be a little biased towards microstock ;))
If I get overwhelming responses, I will probably limit it for now to a few authors.

Just know that there are only 10-20 visits a day currently and I do not know how many will visit in future and where this leads. That someone uses your referral link is possible but you cannot be sure of that.

Anyone interested? You can PM me.

Thanks :-)

Hey Freezing,

Your news website is doing really well.  I've received 92 referred visitors from your website to mine over the past 30 days, and it's good quality traffic too - they stay longer than average and view more pages than average.

I'll keep an eye on the new location.  Good luck with it. 

-Lee

Freeze...   I didn't know for months after I became a member of MSG that english wasn't your prime language...   and I only found out in a thread one day when you mentioned you were from Germany...   
      Your english is as good as the average American's... in fact, let's be serious...   it's probably better than most Americans in this day and age...   LOL LOL       btw,  I'm American...  I speak with them every day, so I know... LOL

Great website....!!  It's bookmarked on my machine!   Looking forward to  it's growth...  and don't sweat your english, it's perfect!! 8)-tom

p.s.   I am amazed at  the majority of those here where english isn't there prime language.  I lived in Europe for 3 years and did my best to learn the local languages  (italian,  german, greek, spanish,  and a really hard one,  british english, LOL --- what's that old saying,  Britain and America, two countries separated by a common language? I even have a degree in russian )   My point...  any here that feel insecure about their english...... shouldn't...  it has been my experience in my travels around this planet that Americans (U.S.) are the most  bi-lingually ingnorant people in the world.  So... kudos to you non-english folks... and dont worry about the occassional mispelled word....  the average American cant spell either.. that's why we invented spell-check... though we usually neglect to use it..   LOL
   My compliments to all non-english speaking members and ....to those few that do struggle with it, you have my respect and admiration for trying your best. I think we get your points.  Keep it up!!!  I'm  thankful I don't have to use my German, Italian, Spanish, Greek... etc...   it sucks!

hope I haven't ticked off any of my fellow americans...   LOL :D

Thanky yu! I diddnt now my Englisch is so gut  ;)

Seriously thank you for your feedback, also directed to Lee! It is really encouraging to get that. If you post days after days news on the website, never knowing if someone really values it, its kind of tireing. At least I knew that some people are looking at it, by looking at Google Analytics, thats whats kept me going.
Appreciate it!
 
Now hopefully with more authors... if I find some, it would be more interesting I guess.
I want to make it sound a bit more less commited then it might have sound in the first post, when I asked for authors: it even would help if you post once in a month. Or post once, see if you like it, if not, thats ok, it is really not something you have to be commited to. Its like in this forum, by being a member you do not have to post regularly. You post if you feel like posting..

When I briefly lived in Amsterdam I knew an American family who were living (on sabbatical) there for a year - I found it quite amusing that their two young boys were sent home from school because their english wasn't good enough!

A friend told me of an English guy he met in a trip to the USA, they were somewhere in the middle of nowhere and sat for lunch, when the waitress came and the Englishman placed his order, she laughed and said "Your English is so funny", to which he replied "I speak English, you speak funny".

Regards,
Adelaide
