What kind of money do people expect in reality to make from micro stock photography sites?

Just trying to get some kind of idea about the expectations out there from people. I know it would be really nice to make heaps, but im talking reality here......

Thanks for your feedback.

I hear exactly what you are saying Phil, we have played round so much with the watermarks it is not funny anymore.

We try to make them less visible, take them off, and then Photograpehrs say about people pinching their photos etc, we put it back, then others say we don't want them etc.

I am working on at the moment an addon where photographers can choose to display or not display the watermarks on their thumbnails.

It would be nice to get more people joining if they are from NZ from this forum, but the main reason for joining was to get peoples ideas, and to share our site with others.

We are built on a out of the box solution, which we have modified to suit our own requirements and design over the years.

Hi all, I have just come across this forum, and quite like all the chat about stock sites.

We run PhotoSales NZ, which is a New Zealand based site, catering to amature to semi-pro photographers throughout New Zealand, to show their photos off on.

In total now, we have been round for 3 years, like all sites, we have started very small, and grown and developed over that time.

Now we actually get our member photographers work in the events photography side of things, and they love the extra income that can provide for them.

We would welcome you to visit our site, to give comments and feedback as well.

Regards
PhotoSales NZ
