Title: My own website V/s Stock Agency websites
Post by: Noushad Akampadam on May 01, 2021, 01:51
Respected Senior members and dear friends, :)

I need your expert opinion.
I started a gallery on Flickr and sold photos from it. When more sales came, I started my own stock photo website :
www.makkahmadinahphotos.com (http://www.makkahmadinahphotos.com)

I’ve been in its workshop for the last few years.
But sales are not going as well as I expected.
Fewer visitors to the site.

Now in desperation I have decided to upload my photos to the micro stock agency.

Should I continue to try on my own site?

Or upload to Stock agencies? (Shutterstock,Adobe stock.....etc)

Expect advice from everyone.

Thanks in advance!

Noushad Akampadam.

Bypass the internet, print postcards and sell it locally.
There is no big marge at internet sales, its all about high volume sales.
For high volume sales generic images that everyone can use are doing better.

I like the idea especially given my main photo genre, but how do you go about selling postcards locally? Thanks.
