More info coming here soon :)
No more an anonymous newbie  8)

As you can see, we all got along fine since 2009.  Thanks though.

Thats great :)
Thankyou for the fast reply,

I believe this is appropriate  ;)

I am starting to see a trend :)
I would definately outsource,
My time is important, and so I am making a complete training for my Staff so they can process my own images.
If I were a fulltime photographer, I would sooner be shooting than Kw ;)
However, I am more into Web development and Spending time with my family, So i will leave that to the pro's.
It is so nice of you giuys to respond, I am looking forward to spending more time here talking with you all.

Thankyou once again :)

Microstock Services / Re: Recomendations to outsource keywording
« on: December 07, 2011, 04:47 »
Hi Everyone!

I am looking to outsource my keywording. Can someone recommend me good services? I know LookStat but I would like to compare and choose the best. Thanks! :-)

It's a service that where considering providing, what would be a reasonable budget for this kind of thing?  $3 per image including  caption and description.
 what about  post-processing, such as  Photoshoping?  $7 per image?

7
If there is a company that was to provide keywording for  $2 per image ( including   caption  and description)
 and including uploading for an extra $.50

Would you be interested in such a thing?
 If not, or if you have questions what would they be?
 Is it too expensive?

I am going to test this one today :)

If I were to do the submitting for somebody I would happily re do the image if it is MY mistake :-)
I wouldnt be keywording right now as I have said further up.
Also I wouldnt want anything todo with CD's and full rez images I would solely be attaching MR's and assigning catagories
It is all explained in my First post.

I do not see it as risky as it seems first. Just think on it! The copy of passport is one thing but... if you do not trust him, you can still withdraw your earnings every week. So in the worst case scenario he is 'stealing' one week but not more. But it is still very unlikely he can do it. On most sites there is a pending time from the request until the actual payment, so you have a very good chance to realize the request in time and cancel it. If he ever tries to do this with anyone's account, everyone will be informed here instantly. Ah well, and you can verify his reference by an email to Yuri. :)

I already have assistance in uploading but otherwise I would be interested.

Thats exactly right NitorPhoto,Anyone who is interested knows how to get Yuri's email :-)
Have a nice day :-)

11
It does sound a bit odd there are no actual details in the offer.  Hey, I'll upload your stuff for some unknown fee, somehow, and Yuri says it's cool.

I have not said anywhere that Yuri endorses this I only said I had him as a reference :-)

Hello there  - quick question, would a client send the pics on a CD to you, say 250 at a time? On there would have to be all model release details and depending what they are shooting info on what the pic is if it a particular flower, building, beach etc..

You'd then have to caption the lot in full and upload to maybe eight sites,  probably with upload restrictions as is Istock etc depending on your clients acceptance rate / canister level.

All this for say 30 cents a picture?

Would a slightly better idea be that a client uploaded all of ther own images to the sites by FTP. They send you an email it's all finished, and you log in to all their accounts and with copy and paste finish off the captioning there. Slightly unweildy, but it would probably be just as quick.

Finally, skirting over the login details, don't some sites alredy offer this kind of service?

Good luck with it




Yes I would much prefer your second option, Reasons being that The pictures are then safely on the site and cant get lost in the mail etc :-)

As far as I know the only site that has anything similar is DT with its keymaster program.but correct me if I am wrong.
And yes around that price depending on site.I have not done Istock before and will stay clear of that until I have an account and am confident with the keywording. Contact me out of this post to talk further details :-)
regards Phill

Thats fine Ichiro 17 its good to see a bit of life in this forum :-) Have a nice day/night.

14
RT- Thankyou for pointing out the specifics that I have missed.I wouldn't be able to provide the full service as of yet because I am in the process of moving to New Zealand.But It is definitely in the pipeline.I am thinking of including keywording in the future service.
And I also have to learn to upload to Stock.I don't have an account there at the moment
My first language is actually Australian,So no offence taken at all :-)
I have to agree with you I don't speak good English (more Australian).
I guess all this time in Denmark speaking danish has not improved my limited English:-)
You are more than welcome to check my titles/ category's/keywords on my own images.
Thanks again

In reply to Ichiro 17 I would like to suggest to you that my intentions were purely to offer some of the busy people a helping hand to get one of the most time consuming microstock jobs out of the way. I apologize for any grievance I have caused

16

RT I have corrected my post sorry for the mistake I was fairly busy when I wrote that.

17
I'm glad everyone thinks its a great idea to give up passwords and usernames to someone who has a reference or two.  Who knew it could be so easy





This is the NON-Disclosure Document I have been talking about :-)
 
 http://www.fastdue.com/Agreement.aspx?t=NON-DISCLOSURE%20AGREEMENT

And the consulting contract

Thank you Goldenangel,
I must add that because it is a piece rate it would also be a good idea for small people as well.

19
Well in regards to pricing and the like It all depends on the stock site.
All work will be on a contract(piece)rate.
If someone is seriously interested we can talk about that outside of the forums :-)
I am very flexible and also thinking about keywording as well

20
I would want a contract and  a non disclosure agreement and of course I would be willing to provide a copy of MY passport.
I would only do the images on a piece rate, For example one image for 30c .But of course there are a lot of factors involved.

21
Exactly Like a non disclosure document :-)

22
I was thinking I could help small people too.I got the idea from a fellow microstocker.
I will be doing his in a few months too maybe

23
Oh and I forgot to write that I have Yuri Arcurs as a reference
 I thank you for you for saying whats on your mind I will take note :-)

24
Its Nice to see there are so many views :-)

G'day

My name is Phill,
I am an Australian guy Currently living in Denmark,within the next 3-4 months I am moving to New Zealand.
I have experience uploading to DT,SS,123RF,BigStock and FOT
I would like to offer you my service as a Microstock Submission Editor.
Which entails attaching MR's ,choosing categories,I also do a 5 word priority sorting of keywords on FOT
ALL Keywords, Titles, and Descriptions must be in the iptc metadata.
I realize that the only realistic way for this to work would be for Us to sign a nondisclosure agreement,
As I would log into your account submit your files and log out.
I will provide a copy of my Passport as Proof of who I am.
I use Skype to keep in contact.
 I Prefer to work contract as I am a very hard and fastidious worker.
My experience tells me that my employers prefer me working contract when they see the results.
For serious persons interested I am more than Happy to talk further about prices,contracts,etc over skype,or email

                               



                              Attached is a Link to my resume,
                              So take a look if I have caught your interest
                              Kind regards Phill
