Hi Sharpshot, From your username I know you are pro Welcome in this war ... I can't build up any enthusiasm for another new site. Most of the ones that launched in the past 18 months have given it all they can but have only managed a few sales. If they can't do it, why would anyone else think they can? You have to give us a change, maybe we will succed  maybe microstockgroup will put Fotomina as "Sites that no longer exist"  but at least we need to try ...

This kind of book is somehow misleading as it tries to make simple something which is complex by nature. You are talking about Scott Kelby : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Kelby (I am not advertising him)

I read a book about photography and this may help you :
" There's not just one trick that will give you the sharp photos the pros getit's a combination of things that all come together to give you "tack sharp" shots. (Tack sharp is the term pro photographers use to describe the ultimate level of sharpness. Sadly, we aren't the best at coming up with highly imaginative names for things.) So, while there are a number of things you'll need to do to get tack-sharp photos, the most important is shooting on a tripod. In fact, if there's one single thing that really separates the pros from the amateurs, it's that the pros always shoot on a tripod (even in daylight). Yes, it's more work, but it's the key ingredient that amateurs miss. Pros will do the little things that most amateurs aren't willing to do; that's part of the reason their photos look like they do. Keeping the camera still and steady is a tripod's only job, but when it comes to tripods, some do a lot better job than others. That's why you don't want to skimp on quality. You'll hear pros talking about this again and again, because cheap tripods simply don't do a great job of keeping your camera that steady. That's why they're cheap. "

Well said, RT.
That is exactly why I asked. With what I currently see there is no incentive for me to upload anything.
And @Satforce:
Even if your site is in beta, if you expect contributors to upload the minimum information you should give them are the exact conditions (prices, commission structure etc.) they will have to agree to when they upload.
Please read my last reply.. and we will try to add more information about conditions. regards

Humm... I think I need to hire some freelancer to help me here in this very hot topic  why would he buy from you if your prices are more than the competition, but another point to consider is why should he buy from you when your prices and images are the same I will not answer this question because if you don't know microstockgroup forum is the biggest source of information for new microstock sites, so I can not share all our plan here with everybody even who are reading now those lines and planing to open their own micro stock site ... What I can say there is a lot of surprises we will share later on... What advantage is there to a contributor by uploading to Fotomina Maybe we don't have advantage but on the same time artists will loose nothing if they upload on fotomina..  you're not offering anything new to contributor or buyers You will see on the future what we are offering.. It's our secrets ...

Do you want to win market share only based on price? Maybe This was happend before with stock, pics as like 200 $ 150 $ and istock comes with 1$, 3$, etc... I ask the same question how come one picture for 1$  and then an new industry comes wich known as micro stock sites  Why not start with slightly higher prices (like 2$ for the smallest size, 20$ for the full resolution)? Let ' talk form buyer or designers as they like to be called, why should he buy from fotomina for 2$ since the same photo is 1$ or less with credit on Big6!!  That's way you can take a look on big 6 prices and you will see that we are similar to their prices.. 20$ can be offered of we can have extra extra size like istock but at the time we are good with our prices maybe on 2010 we will revise them .. but keep in mind 1$ x 100 download = 100 $ You state contributors can earn up to 75% from each sale. But nowhere I can find any information about specifics. What is the exact pricing scheme, what is the commission, are there any ELs available etc. As you can see our website is Beta so we are working on website info pages.. I'll explain to you we have 3 different categories of contributors Bronze Silver and Gold based on the contributors sales we will upgrade categorie bronze 50% to Fotomina, Silver 35% and 25% in Gold.. Everyone talks about Fotomina.. I am happy to hear that.. You are welcome ibogdan

Did they pay you?
I was contacted at Flickr for one of my NewOrleans photos. They offered me a FREE credit line. 
No it was free, but at least the name of our website will appear for 1 month

The big 5 registred on Fotomina is a mission accomplished When I visited South Africa they call the Lion Big5 ... Anway, I am very happy to here your comments about the website, as I told you the final version of the website need a lot of money and sometimes... So what we can do, just send me your username by email: [email protected] and I will setup an FTP account, you only need to upload files With IPTC included and I will do the rest, you can also upload the model release on FTP... Are you happy now !??

you shouldn't be so picky for a new agency,that's not going to help you at all.
I think I disagree. A new agency has to offer the highest possible quality to get buyer's attention ... and respect, even if it means slow growth.
thank you Warrenprice at least one agree with me .. those same images that I uploaded are selling at other agencies. Are they selling in Fotolia, dreamstime or istock ?

2.8 is correct. This shows you were able to follow Flemish link...
I did not follow any link.. Let me ask you a question: What we call "nice shot" in photographer language? Who we call nice lenses?

I may be in a unique position. Being retired, time is of little importanct ... other than days left to experiment with stock photography,
Will Fotomina be accepting "Editorial Images?" My motocross legends photography includes an image of Heikki Mikkola.
Yes we accept Editorial Images... You are welcome ..
