Hey there Satforce, that was quick response. I missed your original introduction here, and found this thread by accident. I only started to read the first few pages, and got tired of reading, so I thought I get someone to update on the more important details.
What has changed since then , Satforce?  Initially, the introduction said quick payout $10, etc..
is it still $10 to get a payout, and the % of commission. How are your sales doing, and is your buyers mostly in Finland, is it? where you are?
Not to worry, I am not here to give you a big interrogation.  Just want to know if there is a good incentive to submit some images to you.

Quoteand got tired of reading

I think I will make a book from this thread 

Quoteis it still $10 to get a payout

Yes it is ..

Quote% of commission

For the moment it's 50%. Next, we are studying a new commission based on number of sales made.

QuoteHow are your sales doing

Not yes, we are building a strong library of royalty free images and then we will start our marketing plan..

Quoteis your buyers mostly in Finland

Our buyer will be from international country, we are studding a new ways to sell to people without paypal and online payment if they don't have. Actually we will focus on Africa and Arabic countries..

Quotewhere you are?

We are on Finland.

Well I found out today that they will accept non-vector illustrations. That is a plus for me, so I will upload and see how it goes...

Quote from: batman on April 30, 2009, 19:31Initially, the introduction said quick payout $10, etc..

No they fooled us. It's 5$ and 0.5$ for the smallest size. That's for an extended license. But I checked them the last time begin of April when I uploaded 10. Maybe they repaired that. I can't tell any more and their site doesn't work under FF (CSS not loading), plus I can't even log in also. No time now but I will re-check these guys later. My advice for now would be to stay away till their site works properly and their policies are fixed. Their promise of 10$ certainly wasn't kept and if it's true, I'll kill them for sure.

ROTFL.  There is no money in Africa. Even here in SE Asia with a much higher standard of living, nobody buys stock. Here they get all their stuffs from pirate sites or torrents. The market is the US, not Patagonia,  Elbonia nor Timbuktu. You must be kidding, I'm sorry.

Why don't you hire a native English writer? English is my 3d language but I do have a spellchecker.

He doesn't have money to hire a writer. It doesn't cost any real money to start a joke website. Anybody can start one, them having a website means nothing. 

I can come up with a micro site in a week with my developer friend working with me. It would look as good as any of the top players. But the difficult thing is to run the website, not to come up with it.

If I do create a website would you then instantly take it serious and advertise it on this forum as a newcomer? It is that easy really

As if I didn't know 
Well the guys have been friendly and quite charming in private messages but it was quite clear from the start that didn't know one syllabe about microstock. We all know that they will never make it (and I think the same about Veer snapstock).

Fotomina anounced 10$ and then when my 10 shots got online, it suddenly was 5$, 2.5$ for me at full size and EL. I'm sorry but I hate players and liars. Their site doesn't work under FF now but if I find my shots there full size back at 2.5$ later, I'm going to give them a very rough time.

How do you think it will go 

These guys are a real joke. The more I read, the more I laugh! You must be one of them to say you are going to submit and expect any real results!

I am sure fotomina has a grand total of 3 visitors a day!

Sorry to disappoint the skeptics but I'm just a newbie struggling with a tiny portfolio...

I decided to take the plunge and give them a look see...

The first thing that I can report is that their uploading system is annoying. One image at a time as well as having to fill in the title and description before upload. It only reads the metadata for the keywords.

Hi Again,

QuoteWell I found out today that they will accept non-vector illustrations. That is a plus for me, so I will upload and see how it goes...

Payout start from 10$ paypal and moneybookers, FlemishDreams you don't have to kill us that's true.

No comment .. We will try..

I am sorry for misspelling.

QuoteWhy don't you hire a native English writer? English is my 3d language but I do have a spellchecker. 

Okay we will hire some English writers. But at least with my very bad English I am able to communicate with people.

We are not liars Flemish we announced 10$ for the payout not for the price of the picture. Instead of saying that you can give us some idea in this thread to make Fotomina photographer friendly http://www.microstockgroup.com/new-sites-general/what-kind-of-features-you%27d-like-to-see-in-fotomina/
