Im looking to possibly approach real estate companies and property management companies to offer high quality photographs and sweeping videos of their rentals/sales. a lot of them already have photographers for these purposes but there is lots of varying quality. do you know how much one would charge for one session? ie, going to the house, taking about 6-8 shots?
it would be best if someone who actually does this, or knows of it could give me estimates as when i approach them i don't want to have no idea how much to ask for

The only two I can think of are Canva and Picfair - are there any other established ones?

Does anyone factually know of, or experienced themselves, an SR-EL license sale on DT? The prices are in the thousands for most images I've seen and I find it difficult to see many of them going through, but I could be wrong.

As the title says - seems 30p is more popular, but you get the random person raving about how it is easier to upscale 24.
All I care about are sales and longevity.

Is the information in the title an accurate assessment of iStock's royalty schedule for non-exclusive contributors? In other words, you make about 90 cents a video download?

Has anyone else noticed this? It is now a drop down and you have to manually email shutterstock to get approval prior to resubmitting.

I'm trying to determine the accepted TOS for most stock photography sites.
Shutterstock seems to indicate that you must have full rights to the images you upload. Fotolia says you must have taken the photo yourself.
But I'm guessing some larger contributors have people they have hired to assist in the process, going so far as to take the pictures for the contributor.
So my question is, as long as you have full ownership of the picture along with the raw image and a signed transfer contract from the photographer, are you allowed to use the photo for microstock sites?
And if not, what exactly is the line between hiring people to work under you vs contracting photographers for you (which in essence is what you are doing if you buy images from photographers).
Thanks.

Has anyone ever experienced, or know of anyone who has experienced this? I am just wondering. It has not happened to me but as I am going to be investing more into my microstock efforts, I want to just investigate if there is any possibility of this happening, thanks.

I find that my new images don't sell any better compared to my old ones, and so, I kind of view every new image as a permanent addition to my residual income. Is this what you guys find to be the case too? Perhaps the new ones sell a bit better initially, but overall there is no real expiry on them and they don't seem to be completely buried.

Do you feel there is any correlation between images sold through subscriptions and images sold on demand? Obviously the on demand ones will pay out more, but the question is, say one image gets 10 subscription sales (25 cents each) and another gets 2 on demand ($2 each). The on demand one has made you more money this month, but does that suggest that it is a better image, or more valuable? Or is it all variance and that next month the stats may completely flip?
I guess my question is, do on demand sales reflect an image that is "better"? And are subscription sales for cheaper or less "quality" images?
My thoughts are "no", but I haven't been in the industry long enough to know for sure. So I am asking for opinions.

I am a contributor on every microstock site on the list from the top tier to middle tier and have an acceptance ratio of above 80%. I've applied twice at DP with my best photos and all of them have been rejected.
Obviously they have some issue and this is not legitimate but I'm wondering if it's worth trying again. I sent them an email but this lack of professional screening makes me wonder if it's worth trying with them in general.

With their monthly subscriptions these places let people download full resolution (XXL) images for $0.33/image. iStock on the other hand charges on average $6/full resolution image, even on a subscription account (as far as my math works out).
Doesn't that seem ridiculous? Do most of your sales come from these low end purchases? I wouldn't mind if the small or web sized images were being sold at that rate but 6000x4000 images for $0.25 a pop seems like robbery.

Is there a list (or can we compile a recent one) of all the software available for contributors to upload and categorize images with titles, descriptions and keywords to the main stock agencies?

I basically have all the gear I want and need, and am a contributor on most agencies. However aside from food and general objects on white I find it hard to come up with ideas for stock photos.
Do any of you have any methods or tips or activities that may assist me in coming up with ideas?
Like looking at other stock photos and generating a unique variation? Something that provides results, because it's becoming frustrating!

I believe I could cut a little bit of space off the right side, but other than that I would appreciate any detailed critique on if this is acceptable stock content, and if not other than the composition what technically needs to be improved.
Thanks.
