Post by: MikLav on January 05, 2010, 03:48

this time from South Africa

at least they are not anonymous - show address and phone nr on their website
website already translated to several languages

But sending invitation email from a gmail address - come on! Not very professional.

If anybody wants to spend time with it let us know :) I am not going to bother.

We have seen many beginning microstock agencies in the last 4 years that failed. Uploading my 1500 photos would take a lot of time and effort which I am not ready to spend with very very uncertain return.

Another recent new comer DepositPhotos solved that problem by paying every contributor for every photo they accept. That is one of the best possible way for new agency to build a base of pictures, but it requires quite significant investment.
