Microstock Services / Stock Stats - Free android app
« on: June 11, 2014, 21:09 »
Hey everyone

Just came across this free android app that claims to give updates from all the major sites on your andoid phone. Wanted to get some feedback from some experienced users before I installed it

I just came across this ask me anything interview of 500px's founder. Although there's not a lot about Prime but it does have a pretty good story of how the company started out and what they are planning to do

Ok, Shutterstock just handed me a very crazy review. A couple of images that I shot from a tripod at ISO 100 and f/11 have been rejected for noise and incorrect focus. I'm a little confused as to what more is required to get an image accepted there.

Is there a way to get them to revaluate these images?

And i made a mistake, i checked my Getty account and all the images there are RF (moment and moment open) just higher priced than the micros

So what are the subjects that you feel are suited to only RM or RF. For example I get that my more art oriented images would sell better as RM, while images with more practical value (images of common products, travel locations and all) sell better as RF. It might also be because the people that the RM images are targeted at have deeper pockets and a very specific objective in mind. While a blogger looking for an RF image will either find what he needs or change it to some other image but will not pay the price of an RM.

But this is still pretty vague, so is my only recourse trail and error?

Thanks for the great answer. But then who are the people who typically purchase an RM? What are they looking for, it has to be more than just being forced to buy an RM because the image subject was not available on RF

So for a person who is contributing both to microstock (getty) and to most of the top tier microstock sites. How do i decide which image goes where?

Hey everyone,

I've been uploading to Getty through their flickr link and have gotten a couple of sales over the past year. My last sale however raised a question

I thought that an RM meant that one image could only be sold once (you are selling the rights to use it), however Getty has sold one of my images twice now (not that I'm complaining). So can these images be sold more than once?

Second, i thought that the biggest advantage of micro stock was that you could sell the same image to multiple prople. So over a period of time the image might earn you more than if one person bought it through Getty. But if getty can also sell to multiple people then isn't it better than a microstock?

That's amazing, it feels good to know that organizations that actually keep the photographers in mind are doing well.

A couple of small requests though, a best sellers page would be great as would be a page of the top searched items. Loved how you sent out a newsletter about how you needed urban street images, more of these in the future would really help us.

Wow, seems like getty wants a piece of this pie too. Where are the images coming from, istock, getty open and what do they cost

So like online shopping it helps you find the lowest price among all the micro stock sites....  Seems like the race to the bottom gets faster

Well the bars have reached the end. Looks decent, not really all that much though

Is the payment for differnt sizes same? Do i get 25 cents regardless of whether its a 16mp or a 6mp?

Does SS pay the same regardless of the image size? Cause i seem to be getting. 0.25$ a pop on all downloads.

I'm such a case why would i upload hi res files to them?

I've been trying to get 7 pics approved since last year. Have pestered people on shutterbuzz, got some awesome feedback and finally 6 months later got 10 images that SS liked.

So, what is next now that I'm in :))

Well I got the invite code and joined in. Typical 500px layout, full of images and very neatly put. Couldn't find the contributor section of the prime site though. I guess it's only for the buyers and the contributions still happen at the 500px store?

Can someone help me out
