I have been following, threads regarding the microstock model, reading the links and started to do some google searches to see how my images may be found when I saw something that some folks here may want to try.
While doing this I spotted a website listed as "The Poison Ivy Store". I followed the link and saw that they took images of posion ivy and sold them as laminated cards so people could carry the images while on nature walks to help them identify the poisonous plants.
Just thought I'd put the idea out for anyone who does nature photos and might want to try and sell laminated versions through their websites or Ebay.
BTW, I did a google search using some of my key words connected by "and" followed by image (ie Bodhran and whistle image) and saw my images pop up with links to the sites they are on, in one case the first four search results were my images with links to two on BigStock followed by two on Zymetrical.
