Symbiostock - General / Promotion on the market of the Symbiostock Network

« on: September 12, 2013, 04:02 »

To increase sales on our Symbiostock sites could be very useful to have a promotion on the market of the Symbiostock Network.
The Global Symbiostock Search Engine (www.symbiostock.info) is very useful but it must be promoted drammatically in order to catch the attention of image buyers. Do you agree on that?

Ideas and proposal are appreciated

My Symbiostock site is www.millionstock.com

Symbiostock - General / Dimensions of watermarked images in my Symbiostock site

« on: August 30, 2013, 18:50 »

I'm setting up my Symbiostock site using the 2.5.5 version.
When I upload and process an image, the watermarked image have the same dimensions (in MB and pixel) of the original one, and this will reduce the navigation speed on the site

How can I reduce the dimension of the watermarked image?

Here the address of an example of watermarked image:

Thanks a lot for the help!

Selling Stock Direct / Right use of photos by buyers

« on: July 01, 2013, 07:35 »

Hi to all!
I have one question for your regarding the selling of photos through my personal site.
How can I be sure that the buyer will use my files in the right way described in the Terms of use described in my site? For example if I sell a pic in high resolution with a standard license agreement how can I be sure that the file will not be used as an Extended License way?
I'm worried about this, since when selling through large agencies, the agency shall monitor the use of photography and even their customers knows that they are buying from a large agency and therefore will refrain from improper use of photos.
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi to all!
I need some advises from the community to increase the sales of my portfolio. Actually I have about 1000 pics on all the Top and Middle Tier sites, and some Low Earners sites and sales are very similar to the average that I can see on the later frame of Microstockgroup. I have started to upload in 2010 to all sites and I upload regularly each month about 50 ne pics.

Could you give me some advice to increase my sales?

Here below the link to my portfolio in SS to let you judge my portfolio
