We try to answer a few questions stock producers might have:

  • The current state of stock: Is revenue going down?
  • How many photographers are switching to AI content?
  • Does AI content sell?
  • Can I expect significant income with AI content?
  • What are the successful keywords for AI content?
  • Will it kill the stock industry?

This is probably one of the most important blog articles we've ever written. We really wanted to understand the differences between uploading a set of files in one go versus spread them out over various months, or even years. We put the effort into crunching the numbers and hope the results are useful to you.

Our results are actually not what you would expect. Most people do not follow what we consider to be the better strategy. So have a look and please comment! We are really looking forward to your thoughts!

Some of you might know Kraken Images as one of the leading and most productive microstock contributors in the world, with over 1 million files on sale.

But we also met Aaron Amat, the CEO, as a super friendly and helpful person who was very open about his business. Thanks Aaron for your time!

This is well worth the read! Enjoy!

Steve Cole has been a stock contributor before many of today's contributors even owned a camera. We interviewed back in 2013 and we interviewed him again today, to ask him how he thinks the market evolved and how he believes it will move in the future. His insights are invaluable if you want to make a living from stock photography. Enjoy!!

One of Stock Performers most popular features is to track the profitability of your files. This is very useful if you want to know how profitable a photo session was, a photo trip, a specific model or the files supplied to you by a supplier. We now added two new colors to better distinguish how profitable or not a collection is. Read the details in this article!

Five years ago we asked top contributor Elnur Amikishiyev how we saw the microstock business evolving. Did he get it right!? We asked him what he thinks of his forecast back then, how he's gone through the coronavirus crisis and how he sees the business evolving in the coming years. Happy reading!!

Stock Performer / German Stock Photography Online Tutorial
« on: February 27, 2020, 07:12 »
Our founder Luis has just released a German online Stock Photography video tutorial, about 2,5 hours long, where he talks about the business, about his busines, he takes you to one of his photoshootings, and then uses Stock Performer various months later, to analyse the results of that photoshooting. There are some long discussions on how to best use Stock Performer to improve the way you shoot and make your content more marketable.

Small sneak preview: that photoshoot went on to become his most profitable 2019 photoshoot!

If you are interested in learning more and can speak German, here is the online shop for the tutorial. Enjoy!

"One of the best indicators of contributors health is how much they upload. If they are optimistic, they will put the time and money into producing new content. If they are pessimistic they will wind down their production and upload less."

We just wrote a new article with some insights into user uploading behaviour and how it has evolved between last January and this January.
