Hi,

Does anyone here have portfolio in any of these two sites ? What are your experiences ?

Thanks!

Kozzi is a low earner but on par with CS or DP for me.

Do I see correct that Kozzi sells images even for 0,03$?

4,95 subs plan... daily access... all images...

You get 0.25$ for every subscription download, which is lets say industry standard.

What is worrying is the price of their credits. For 0,5 credits (which equals to 0,5$) a buyer gets full resolution standard royalty free licence. Minimum credits package is 10 which is extremely low.

I see indivstock starts royalty at 38%

What kind of business cannot make a go of it at 50% when you are getting supplied the goods your selling?

Anyway 38% of no sales is still nothing

These bottom feeder agencies are no starters not worth the effort to upload

The TO was asking for EXPERIENCES! You obviously don´t have any...

I have less than 1000 images there (but the whole agency has only 37000 so far...)
When I signed up about 6 months ago, I was "awarded" Level 3 (= 56%) right away.
I have sales every month, right from the beginning!
BUT so far I had only 21 sub sales, no credit sales...

Noodle IS telling you his/her experiences & opinions, and it's valuable experience especially for new contributors who don't know better regarding who they upload to and how much work-to-commission ratio might be involved. Clearly, NOODLE is talking about percentage of commissions relative to his/her overall microstock experience versus what these newer bottom feeding agencies pay. That is invaluable experience for people who don't know better or do not have the valuable framework of the commission erosion that has been happening over the last several years in general micro stock. Moreover, why on earth would you waste your time with an agency who only has 37,000 images? That is not a sales hook in any way shape or form for buyers, it's definitely not a carefully curated collection and they have been up for about a year and have only been able to garner 37k images? How many of those images are from production mills, too? What I am stating is VALUABLE experience others may want to use to help make decisions regarding uploading to these sites.

Sometimes I wish we have here another column for poll with agencies which we shoud NOT even consider, don't touch and not waste time on... Oh yeah, right, the list would be to long.

I disagree. Noodle has NO experience with Indivstock. And neither have you. Both your "contributions" don´t answer the opening question.

I have experience with Indivstock. I answered the question. That´s all.

I see no problem with the two agencies. Competition is good for business.
As long as Kozzi makes no commission reduction, it should be all right with me.
