Hello everyone,

My name is Richard.

I am photographer myself, not a serious one, but still. Photography has always been something I have always enjoyed. Due to some circumstanses I have never sold my photos online, so I can't judge myself and therefore I am here to ask you something.

I am going to open a new microstock website. I know that some of you just stick to the "Big 6", that's how you call it, and you are against the new-comers, but I see an opportunity here as a businessman and as a photographer.

In order to be a good competition I want my company (microstock website) to be held to the highest standarts and yet be user-oriented. So that's why I have some questions:

What is a perfect microstock website like in your opinion? What pricing model works for you? What is a perfect upload system like in your opinion? Are there any features you would like to appear?

Please not just stick to my questions. If there is anything you would like to add, you are free to do it.

Thank you in advance,
Richard

P.S. I have done a lot of research, I mean I came here because I think that in order to make my website as user-oriented as possible, I have to talk directly to the photographers.
