Title: List of Microstock agencies + useful information on each
Post by: Brasilnut on April 03, 2017, 05:53
Hey hardworking photographers!

I've compiled a list of 33 Microstock agencies and some useful information on each that I hope you'll find informative (see attachment).

Good luck!

It's interesting how none need no entry test of some sort, except from SS funny one.

Yea, standards have certainly dropped.

Another thing I found interesting was that for the agencies that offer exclusivity, the difference in royalties can be significant (sometimes double), but most of these agencies just don't have the traffic to justify the commitment.

Unless they give some huge advantage in search results I can't imagine why anyone goes exclusive other than Istock.

Does anyone know of a stock agency where you set your own prices? Rebelartist let us do it back in the days before they shut themselves down and sent everyone to istockphoto.

I think maybe Pond5 or 123RF you can set the price for each photo.

Not 123RF. I think Graphicleftovers you can set within band but for me its dead so academic
