When is the new watermark going to be done?

Finally MP must think once again about quality control.
Browsing the images you can find too many pics that not for 25 Euro but even for free they seems toooo expensive.
Nice site, midstock prices, but less quallity images than microstocks...

Today i bumped in to a customer on my way to the office.

The first thing he said was that he visits the site on regular bases just to scan the images.
-"It is starting to look real good now and and the images are comming in fast now" he said.
Yes, we are getting some nice images now ( i said "some" having the "bad images" discussions on my mind).
The customer answered: -" It is not just "some" - the most part of them are really good and usable - some are even to good"
I asked him: -" How can  a image be to good?"
Well, he said: "Some images are just to perfect, to fixed - we want good images but with that special reality feeling"
- Okey, what ever makes you happy, i answered and smiled.

Let the every day customer decide if the image is good enough or not - all we can do is to  continue to upload
the best of our work. Customers repeat the same message over and over again: Let us decide.
And we let them (for now) =)

Dear Suvakov,
in every agency i sign with im giving a time-credit 3-5 months to see how things are going.
If any agency generate a reasonable number of sales in this period of time im staying with it, elsewhere just going away.
MP is a new agency so it has my credit of time at the moment!
Wish you good luck.

I would say that 3-5 months is a little too tight time schedule to see any large improvement in sales when a site is so recently released. The amount of images are still too small (even though they almost seem to double by the day now) Sales have started to happen but I would wait at least six months before I would make any judgements. We need on the other hand a lot less sales from MP to beat the other micros when it comes to cash return.
I don't expect Snapvillage to produce anything significant in the next 3-5 months either but it might be a winner over a longer period of time.

Fotoxalia:
I understand that you, just like me, sometime can feel restless and demanding truth of concept as fast as possible. But i mean that to make a professional judgement its best to consider a few more variables than just how long time you have been a member/contributor to a agency. Time is one factor, how long the company have been operating, management, sales, press and sales are other important factors to.
I feel that at least 12 months is a valid period - and even longer if the "vibe" is right.
What difference have just time in the big picture (;-)
I can understand if one would stop contributing to a site that has shown no sales during a long period of time but i don't understand if one choose to delete images and close accounts if the sales have been slow.
I mean, the work have already been done - so why not just let them bee? The only thing that would make me closing a account and deleting all images would be if the site did not respect my work and rights, acting non professional to me or other member - then it is very understandable.

i go online today to mostphoto to upload some pictures.. i dont like the new system

Congrats on the sale XeniaII! =) I am not surprised at all. You have loads and loads of great model shots.
Things seems to start moving now. I've read more posts about sales. Hopefully my christmas themed images will start to move soon too.

What is it that you don't like about the new system?
I think it is good that they divided the voting into artistic and commerical.
I haven't gotten used to new new design yet and it seems a little slow and buggy at the moment, but they say that they are working on it.
I sure looks nice at least, with the fancy reflections and all

By the way, Where do you find all your models XeniaII? Do you hire them or is it friends and family?
I still haven't really gotten brave enough to ask strangers to model for microstock.....

First sale for me also today!!
12,5�  better than Lucky Oliver in five months!!!

moori my friend, prepare for action!:

Two major news agencies and one Publishing group is testing the Mostphotos site - even started to download images and this is even not regulated in the agreement! Looks that they just cant resist the
2 for 1 offer they get altrough Dec 24:th =)

First impressions from the new customers:
Love the idea - love the prices - 60 K image bank is acceptable if uploading continue with 500-1000 images/day (as now). The last comment is really a big change for Mostphotos because uptill now the most common comment was "to little images".

Oh what beautiful Friday this is ,
the personal business call finally starts to pay off =) and photographers all over the world prefer Euro instead of declining dollars =(

Have a nice weekend you all...
