You should hire Jo Ann Snover for consulting. she knows her stuff and keeps it real. then come back and present when she signs off on it.

currently, it is a half-baked idea

I think the idea is cool.
At the same time, the business model is also my problem.
The "USP" sounds nice and promising.
But the "USP" must be 100% prepared by the seller.

Right there is my problem.

Let's say the customer wants a photo of a white dove on a roof of the castle X.

A: I see in my portfolio pictures of doves and B: The castle is around the corner ..
this is a perfect thing.

But the everyday case is more like this:
We are looking for a senior couple on a park bench, next to them a financial building (bank) be displayed.

1. Photo "older people on park bench" search in my own database - found (2 minutes)
2. Photo "Property / Building Bank" search in my own database - found (2 minutes)
3. Edit the photo and insert the building into the people image
(eternal time required for design) (45 minutes)
4. 122 photographers and designers have done the same. (122 x 49 minutes)
5. Bought is No. 111.
6. 121 have earned 0.00 euros.

What do you mean? Mostphotos isn`t new. Lifetime bugs
(Edit) Ah now i can see. There`s a new design.

Use filezilla for FTP.
Use IPTC.
Do not upload all files at one day. For example dreamstime will reject all your isolated files maybe with the reason to combine them (happened to me). So you maybe will waste a lot of time.

Think twice before uploading. SS is very easy to upload. Bigstock is a shame.
Stockfresh has a daily uploadlimit. Do you need this agency? Is it worth to upload daily? You have to check that for yourself. Some agencys are very easy. At a few you just need to upload your images and not more.
Some guys use software to upload to multiple agencys. Maybe this is a solution.
Good Luck.

You have to pay for hosting your images. The ad says nothing about that. I do not have anything more to say.

Change your IP!

If he made a mistake and ft registered that, his account may will be blocked.
I do not think that`s the best solution 

  yeah thats crazy. I do not see a single PP sale so far. A few subs that`s all.
Kids and wife scream for oysters and wine. How to feed them now? 

All the sites hosted with godaddy are too slow.
Whats about your connection speed to ezmediart?
If iam a buyer i wouldnt wait..

watermark is still a joke..

All prices are too low. I do not support this. Make credits up to 100 credits more expensive please.

there are many more i will never understand.. deposit: evil bad guys; stocktal: what  check out the threads in msg about them; photospin: lowest sale price ever ever ever.. 40% commission of $ 0.06  ;yaymicro: see post above

If you ask some "faq" question the support guys are often bored. There`s no priority to answer these questions. And you are not a customer. Just a "contributor" 
That`s the evil business called Microstock 

Last sale was today. No problem here.

i do not think you can sell gifs there.
SS just creates 8 gifs you can send for free to friends and family..
