The official countdown begins on Wednesday 15th April 2010 from 24 p.m. onwards. The first 200,000 images to be uploaded to Zoonar and then also accepted as image content for Polylooks will receive 0.15� (15 Cent) per image!

Make money immediately and make use of the many advantages we have to offer:

- Accepted image material will be placed and marketed on both platforms without giving you any extra work

- We will provide cost-free German keywording for your images, if required

- Accepted images will also be added to our Picturemaxx sales channel (Picturemaxx provides image buying software for publishers, agencies etc)

- Every accepted image will receive 0.15� and the cash bonus doesn�t effect your future earnings

- Your images are provided on a non-exclusive basis, that means you can still make them available through other channels/platforms  There�s only one condition to get your cash is: The photographer details that you give to Zoonar will be passed onto Polylooks image portal. Also the images are to be sold on a royalty free basis. The offer will end as soon as 200,000 images are accepted by Polylooks. You will be able to follow the daily update of the running total by visiting the Zoonar website.

Here�s how it works: 1. Register with Zoonar 2. In your Profile area, click to accept the partner �Polylooks� 3. Upload your images with the cost-free Media Manager from Zoonar 4. Activate �Royalty Free Licence� for all your images 5. Assign clearance to your images that have successfully passed the Zoonar editorial check

Please note: You can start submitting photos to zoonar right now, to find out if they pass our quality control. But please set them free for polylooks earliest 24 p.m. Wednesday (04.14.2010) night.

Finally, the partner �Polylooks� will also perform a brief quality check on your images. This second quality check is necessary due to the fact that not all images can be sold under a Royalty Free Licence. Also it�s important for Polylooks that the images they have on offer are of good quality and can be professionally put to use by potential customers. At the same time, the images, when required, will be given German keywords (a service that we are offering free-of-charge). This can take from 2 to 7 days to complete depending on demand. Fortunately, you can be assured that as soon as the images have been accepted by Polylooks, you will receive your 0.15� per image accredited to your Zoonar account.

why ?

If we doesn`t have sellings why should we pay for photos? Looking not like a good deal for zoonar...

we offer three selling-ways with one upload-process:

zoonar
polylooks
picturemaxx

wo offer free keyword-translations (not only auto-machine-translations, there is a manual control for higher quality)
and at zoonar you get until 80% revenues

this is a good packuage.

But you are right: 300 photos are not many. It`s an offer that fit`s better for photographers with a bigger portfolio.

And sorry for my bad english!

Yeah, there will be an price update with our Relaunch in Mai 2010. The polylooks prices are nearly the same like fotolia.

I forget to say: Uploading at zoonar is very easy and fast. Just load the free Media Manager and start. If we see good photos in the editing process the update-volume will be increased to 250-500 photos a day. We just just need 2-3 Days for quality control and there is no complicated release management. We work like alamy in the past: You just have to say if you have a release or not, after uploading. Then you have to choose the RF-Licence as batch and set free the photos for Polylooks. That`s all !

Full commission !

I started uploading to Zoonar last December and had each month a small increase of sales. Most of my sales came through the Polylooks connection. Yes the promo by Depositphoto was better, but what is after the promo. So far sales are better by Zoonar for me. And sales are that count in the long term.

I think in the group of new agencies Zoonar is one that has a better change. The partner programs with Fotofinder, picturemaxx, and polylooks is giving them an advantage.

there will be no struggle to be in the first 200k if you start right now. we just start the action...

The question could be, why someone want to upload on a new agency? It's not of my business I guess, but the 3$ you earn each month with a thousand images is not worthy for me. Neither giving free Hawain vacation to the website owner, due to the number of accounts that will never reach a payout IMO

3 Euro with "Thousands" of Photos? For that your Photos must be very bad !

Are you expecting more from a new agency with 100 buyers browsing 500 000 images or more. That's what people are reporting on those hundreds of new agency threads. I still wonder how much I get for a sale from this agency, I didn't read it ?

"B1 What advantages does Zoonar offer me?
Zoonar sets a new standard: you receive commission rates of up to 80%"

I didn't manage to find the other rates as 80% is apparently the maximum commission, can you help me with that?

Edit: Never mind, I found the table:

Commission rates based on number of uploaded pictures:

Up to 500 pictures: 50% share
501 to 1000 pictures: 60 % share
1001 to 2000 pictures: 65% share
2001 to 3000 pictures: 70% share
3001 to 4000 pictures: 75% share
From 4001 pictures: 80% share

Commission rates based on revenues:

Revenues less than 100 euros: 50% share
Revenues over 100 euros, less than 500: 60% share
Revenues over 500 euros, less than 1000: 65% share
Revenues over 1000 euros, less than 2500: 70% share
Revenues over 2500 euros, less than 5000: 75% share
Revenues over 5000 euros: 80% share

I'm willing to support any agency that offer 50%+ commissions for non-exclusives, even if sales are non-existing.

Do you take vectors or just rasters?

You don`t need german keywords. 10 Keywords are enough...

+1 on both accounts.
Also is there some sort of image lock-in?

It`s the same like in every other agency. You don`t gives your copyright away, you just gives us photos for selling for a time. If you would give away your copyrights, you never could delete the account or photos. But you can. You can delete your account every day and if you do that all photos will be deleted from database in 6 months if they are free for partners. We are not interested to hose photographers, zoonar is a fair agency. The six months are because we spend lot of money to translate the keywords. we don`t even use automatically translations, there will be a manual quality control of keywords too.

But we will check this part of our terms of trade and modify if it is a wrong translation !

Important: We are specially interested in photographers with big portfolios. If you have +5000 photos please write to [email protected]. We will make an offer how you can submit these photos very fast and earn up to 750,00 Euro for full uploading ! We offer the same for photographers with +1000 photos...
