Yes, after  reading this forum i discovered the business model of feature pics.
I'm thinking my site more alike that this model (plus others features), not like Shutterstock.

Very good question CJPhoto !
How will i be different?

I will let you decide the price of the images, on a range, based on how much downloads you made. At first, everyone will be on the same range, but as the business rolls, the very good photographers will double or triple the prices. Working on the system.

And that's only one diference, more like Fotolia i think.
I will not disclose here all my plans, i think you know why. ;)
I want to implement features that none of the actual microstock sites have it.
Details......later.

Now i'm in the place where i put all the parts together. If i make the puzzle, and it's a very big one, i think you will like what this "newbie stock site" will have to offer.

Most of the thins said here are already on my checklist.

Regarding the categories, i'm thinking of a semi automated system, even more friendly as DreamsTime. Working on it.

I tested some stock sites in the past and i think i know where the issues are. But if you know more, i'm here to listen.

The problem with Paypal it's that i'm from Romania and as we speaking i expect an answer from them, because Romania it's not a country where paypal could be used.
The Moneybookers it's a real option, but i've heard many things about them, not all good(some accounts closed down for no reason). I want to start right this business, not with a questionable financial channel.

The minimum payout i think i will set it very low, as a respect for the starting stock photographers. 50$ in the account means a 50mm lens, and that's something for a starting photographer.

P.S. As you very very few know, Dreamstime it's partially a Romanian project :)

Hello Pixart,

Thanks for your opinion, now i'm thinking again about that option :)

Sincerely i don't know how someone could scam knowing only the bank account and the name, but........probably someone knows.

What do you think about moneybbokers? Or paypal it's the standard you MUST have?

Hello Mikko,

What do you mean by"- Keywording process similar to Dreamstime (fast way to process large batches)" ?

What i have in mind is this: you FTP upload 100 photos and if you have IPTC keywording your photos, after that just wait for the e-mail that says how many photos made it in the library.
Besides that, if you have photos rejected, the reasosn i want to explain it more thourough, i think that will help the photographers improve their skills.

What do you think about getting your money directly into your bank account?

Hello everyone,

I'm Dan, a photographer and "entepreneur" from Eastern Europe.

I have in plan opening a new microstock site and i'm here to listen and talk to the people that make this business work, the stock photographers.

If you want that a site would represent your wishes now it's the time to do it.


Now we don't talk about how much sales or how much money because i can't talk about this before the start of the business.

What do you want from a stock site to represent you most? What features? What make life easier for you on a microstock site?
