One of the things that would possibly encourage me to upload to a new site is easy uploading using the same system as 123rf or SS and no catagories. If uploading is painful then there is no way I would upload to an unproven site.

Thank you for you reply fotografer, this is the first feature we will add (same as 123rf) bulk upload, ftp upload, etc.

What forms of payment does Fotomina offer?
Payments are sent out via PayPal.
   


Many photographers cant use PayPal for withdrawal purposes. Moneybookers is a MUST HAVE option, if you really want some serious contributors.

Todays best picture is a good idea, Todays worst picture will be declined from our reviewers while it's worst  ;D

Please keep writing to us

Make a poll and ask for plus and minus of all big 6 agencies. Then you add all "plus" features to Fotomina. Itīs that simple :)

Here's a couple of things that came to mind...I think a couple of them have already been mentioned...

1. FTP to get files to you
2. Easy to assign model releases (as in easy for the submitter--not necessarily for the programmer  ;D )
3. Limited or no categories
4. Not to sound too snarky, but image buyers...so work up some great marketing plans!
5. No photos of any of the Fotomina people wearing wigs.  Please...  8)

1. FTP to get files to you
Yes, we already start programming (Auto FTP with account and web based bulk upload)

Quote
2. Easy to assign model releases (as in easy for the submitter--not necessarily for the programmer   )
Yes we will have this option, contributor will chose to upload model release, Model release not needed or editorial use.

3. Limited or no categories
Limited Yes, I agree with you but no categories does not make sense il we will have 46546486768 images on the futur  ;D

4. Not to sound too snarky, but image buyers...so work up some great marketing plans!
Don't worry we have a very good marketing plan, let's finish our programming and stocking side and then we will start.
