Welcome ctsankov,
Nice domain name you found there! Am I right that you are using CMSaccount as script? May I ask what is the real name behind the Agency?
You will soon find out that it is pretty hard to attract Contributors as well as Customers nowadays. Most People assume you need a massive amount of marketing money and a high Budget for Advertising to get a new Agency off the ground.
Good luck

By curiosity, who gave you the idea to start a microstock agency in 2012. And yes, what is your name anonymous person wanting images for free?

Congrats, Chud!

So you're both the "original source" and "not one of the first" ? Interesting. Anyhoo, sounds like the rest of 'em. Good luck.

one thing really amuse me is most of the microstocker like to bitch about new agency.. ::)
and one thing that won't complain to new agency is the one who paid for uploading..
and when is another new agency that is going to pay us?
-
Hi Chud, I sent you an e-mail with some questions, but maybe answering my questions in public is more useful, so here goes:
1) Will there be an FTP upload option?
2) If not, will it be possible to upload vector files in batches, instead of one by one?
3) How is this going to differ from your earlier website, ImageToons?
-
It's because they deserve it mtkang.
-
Is anything happening on this site?
-
Sorry Noedelhap, can not answer your question, but I always just have to quietly smile when they, go "we only have the best and greatest collections/contributors in the world" and directly after that, "everybody is invited to join and contribute".
So they had the perfect product on their site and they just screwed it up with their open invite..... ::)
HitImages, probably went, strike one, strike two and you are out.....

It's a shame if the site went under. Chud's a good guy (and artist), and I think he had good intentions when he opened up this shop. I definitely was rooting for him and wishing him success.

Nothing against the guy (do not know him at all), but unfortunately it takes much more than being a good artist or good guy to make it in business, especially in one as though as this.

The mistake he made (IMO) was that he switched from his ImageToons website to his new website HitImages, which featured smaller download sizes.
I had just gone through the hassle of uploading my port at ImageToons, when suddenly, the website was abandoned in favor of HitImages. We were then asked to re-upload(!) everything to HitImages (no automatic file transfer), and I think very few contributors bothered to do so.

^^ that sounds like a good way to kill your own business indeed
