PhotoDune in Open Beta

(1/23) > >>

leaf:
just a little heads up, Photodune is now in open beta.

Their rates are as follows:
Exclusive: 50%-70%
non-exclusive - 25%

referrals: no photographer referral program  :-[, but you get 30% of what a buyer spend on their first purchase.

I've had my images there in closed beta for the last 2 months and they have already had some OK sales from their current 'old' members..(on par with Canstock / DepositPhotos) it will be interesting to see how much competition they create for the Big 4.  Envato, the head company, is very well accomplished in their other efforts and I expect them to move into the Middle Tier pretty quickly, however time will tell.  When they get the flood of new images there may not be enough buyers to keep up the sales for all the photographers.  Either way, I'm eager to see how it goes.

Snufkin:
Thanks for the heads up Leaf.
20 MP XXL for 9 USD x 25% = not very attractive
I'll pass for now.

SS OD pays 2,70 USD for a much smaller size.
Photodune Large 5 $ x 25% = 1,25 $. IS Large - around 2- 2,50 USD.
Extended Licence: 45 USD x 25% is a joke. :P

Race to the bottom, I don't think it is in our interest that this agency succeeds.

keep getting 1 answer wrong on their test! hehhe

sharpshot:
I really don't think I can be bothered with a middle tier site for 25% commission.  I really don't understand why we need this?  There's already plenty of lower selling sites that pay closer to twice the commission, aren't we going to be better off just supplying them?

If they really were going to get in to the top 4, I might change my mind but I think that would be almost impossible when everyone uploads their portfolio.  If Veer can't do it, what hope have other sites?

I might just open up an account and upload a few, hoping it will encourage their buyers to look for more of my stuff elsewhere.

luissantos84:
true.. but the cool idea about them might be some exclusive stuff.. donīt know if they allow some to be.. really hard to predict the future of a "new" agency, they do have some background and if they can get buyers and more buyers with time it can be a great agency to perhaps go exclusive, this is a very long idea and plan but who knows..
