lol i really dont know if i have a referal on this page... wait i will see... :-) wow i have 3 but they dont have sold anythink till today. My opinion most photos is on the right way... the users there are friendly... you can talk if you want.. you dont have to when you dont want... nice community... a little bit swedish style .. often they dont understand my german humor.. but its ok for me.. i love this side

Haha that sound like us Swedes.
We don't get German jokes

We also like to be a little quiet and gentle and try not to stand out from the crowd too much

One of the basic "unwritten cultural rules" in Sweden is quite interesting. It is called "jantelagen" and it is basically:
"It is ok to be good at something, but it is not ok to brag about it. You should never think/say that you are better or more successful than someone else. The best thing to be is average, like everone else."
It is amazing we win things in the Olympics with that attitude

Since I started this thread with my ref.link, I have had quite a few referrals signing up referring to my nick.
That is great!! , but what is even more great is that I see in my statistics that quite a few of these also started to sell images.

and here is that link again.... http://mostphotos.com/index.php?referenceid=277

Just uploaded part of my portfolio over there (1100 images). Easy upload system is big plus and I was able to upload images quite fast. Now I'm waiting sales... (I know it will take time, but I hope get nice amount of EURO(s) over there during this year

.)

sharpshot · « **Reply #182 on:** January 09, 2008, 13:17 »

I was dissapointed with no sales after a few months but I just checked and had my first sale for 12.5 euros with this one http://mostphotos.com/view.php?imgid=59633&page=comments

Will start uploading again now.

rene · « **Reply #183 on:** January 10, 2008, 06:18 »

I've started to upload there. All my images price is 50 euros. I've tried to change it (I think 50 € is too much) but I cannot.
Any idea ?
Thanks

sharpshot · « **Reply #184 on:** January 10, 2008, 08:16 »

They should be 25 euros if they are non-exclusive. I don't think that is too much for any image. If a buyer wants it, they will pay for it.

Hmm that sounds strange....
The royalty free images have a fixed price at 25 Euro at Most Photos.
You must have ticked the "exclusive box" when you uploaded the image. The price is then by default 50 Euro or whatever you fill in the price field.
"Exclusive" at Most Photos means that you can only sell the image there and it can only be sold once. Therefore you should set the price way higher than 50 Euro if you choose that option.
I think the fixed 25 euro is just about he right price for a royalty free image. Due to the "no reviewer approach" buyers will find many unique images on MP that they will not find on the big 5 micros and that is something many buyers really appretiate according to the site staff.

Just got my first sale at MP, 12.5 euros quite a lot compared to the other websites!
Here is the picture below:

ldambies - I looked through parts of your portfolio on mostphotos and saw that one of your pictures looked very similar to one of mine. Either this was typical Edinburgh weather or we must have been at the same place at around the same time.

This is my picture:

And this is yours at mostphotos:

Found this coincidence quite funny... .

MicrostockExp · « **Reply #188 on:** January 16, 2008, 09:30 »

Mellimage, that is a typical Scottish weather I guess:) If I remember correctly it was taken from a roof of the museum of Scotland and if the EXIF is right it was the 11 of April 2004... what about you

Mellimage · « **Reply #189 on:** January 16, 2008, 10:12 »

Typical Scottish Weather it is ...

mine was taken May 28, 2007 - but apparently from the roof of the same museum.

Ok, so as step 1 I decided to register and look around. Guess what? I filled out a form with info/login/etcetera, then went to login... and I can't. The system doesn't recognize me, and then I tried to reset the password, entered my email address, got a message that says that an email has been sent... no email. Hello? Help?

Hehe.. well, that might be it for me & MP for now

What are the license restrictions compared to microstock?

That is something I have been wondering about too but haven't been bothered to look into it.
Im gonna send a mail to the staff and maybe they will come here and explain it to people like me who fall asleep when reading legal texts

I'm gonna

wow, what do the esclusive images sell for? Like how many euro? It should be pretty high if it is a one time sale.

Jack Schiffer · « **Reply #197 on:** January 17, 2008, 07:33 »

I think once your exclusive you can name your price

Arian · « **Reply #198 on:** January 17, 2008, 07:56 »

Hello, my name is Arian and I am the project manager on Mostphotos.
It glads me to see all the disscussions here and I am more that happy to answer all the questions and woundrings.

Yes it is correct as Jack stated. On the exclusive photos you can set the price yourself. And it is also true that the exclusive ones only can be sold once. That is a feature that the photobuyers has requested.

leaf · « **Reply #199 on:** January 17, 2008, 08:05 »

I wonder if all sellers are aware of this as I have seen a number of images being sold for 50 euro for exclusive right to the image. Seems quite low, when a RF license is 25 Euro. I guess it is the sellers choice though, as long as they know the deal.
