Forget the nay sayers!!! I am full-time on the video side. I am a registered Cat Scan Technologist and could make an income doing that. I was cut 2.5 years ago and at that time I was earning what my day job did. Well 2.5 years later I have increased that by 30%. When I lost my job and told people I was just going to do stock they said I was crazy! some people were down right mean. I have to little boys 2 and 4 and my wife stays home as well. I wouldn't trade my life now with anyone. I work hard everyday and love it. I use Samaritain Ministries for my health coverage and have found great ways to save on prescription cost. If you want to do it then just do it. You only live once! I knew if I never gave myself the chance I would regret it the rest of my life!

While Sean is not warm and fuzzy he has helped countless people at iStock. I have be encouraged by both Sean and Yuri. I wish them both success as I do this full-time for myself and you
bet it is for myself! I have a family to feed. I have helped others on the way but business is business!

Not going to promise anything at this point, my goal is to do this right. I will start by asking certain artist to upload good material, when I feel there is enough I will them make a press release.

I wasn't planning on anyone having to be exclusive but that is a thought. I am hoping to attract some great Pros with with "Super Glamour" category. Will keep you posted and let everyone know about the full roll-out when all the testing is done.

Eco, it would be an honor to have you on board! I too just wouldn't jump on any new site so I hope to work smart and hard to earn your business. All great ideas here and yes contest are going to be a lot of fun. Thanks for the encouragement!

Thank-you! I figure after being in this market since 2006 that specializing was my only option. I have a "Critter Store" planned in the future with products as you mentioned. Yes the name is currently in the process of being registered.

For buyers I have an SEO expert, I will use Google Adwords and make an general blitz through podcast blogs and the like that I already have connections to. I am willing to put in some cash to attract buyers. I can also turn on an affiliate program to make it beneficial to both buyers and contributors.

Hello All, I am an exclusive artist at IS but want to start a site called GlamourCritters. I can sell others pictures just not my own :-) We are pleased to announce www.GlamourCritters.com This site is dedicated to displaying your unique amazing and humorous photos and illustrations of mammals, reptiles, birds, insects and sea life. We are offering a 50/50 split on royalty for your hard work, after all why should we earn more than you from your art! Image prices will be based on image size for $2 $5 $8 and $10. We are offering a Super Glamour category where you can name your own price. This category is for the very rare and truly amazing shots only. All images will have to pass an inspection process as we want Glamour Critters to live up to its name. We hope to increase awareness of the wonderful critters all around us and to take better care of our planet for the next generation to enjoy. As this site grows with your critters we plan to offer more products for your customers to enjoy. We do not care what camera you shoot with we care about the unique image. We need you to make sure the image is in focus and it is unique to be considered in our library. Thank-you for your interest and we look forward to working with you and providing an amazing place to sell your art. Just critters, no humans in shot critters alone or with other critters. You must name your critter with the correct name and specie or the picture will be rejected. Looking for critters from around the globe. All I am looking for is to provide great customer support and have a fun site. I would like for the site to be able to bring in enough to cover the hosting but not expecting a boat load of cash! I have felt it would be a great experience and something my two boys can help with over time. The Site is up but only as the generic CMSaccount script. I have a web designer on hold to finish the site with logo and design. Your thoughts on this endeavor are very appreciated. is this a waste of time? Is a niche animal site even worth bothering with? Just be honest. I know this industry well as I shoot stock as a full-time job so don't be afraid to say what you think, I can handle it :-) Hosting is with Media Temple.

Agreed, I try to make my clips medically correct, I have a few that miss like when the doctor opens the pill bottled and looks at the pills in her hand ooops you never let pills touch your skin! funny how
a lot of people have no clue and buy it anyway

Worked in Medicine for 15 years and I don't feel the shots are all that bad. Reason is you don't really want the raw reality of medicine, you are better off trying to tell a story with your image.

For those who shoot video the D800 is still way behind in quality, do some research on vertical and horizontal sampling for video on the D800. I am sticking with my 5D Mark II but if I shot a lot more photos for $$ I would upgrade in a second. Happy to see better image quality anytime as that is what matters in then end. Who cares about more pixels!

I have been where you are now. I decided to stay and work harder. My earnings keep going up as I focus and work. I love only uploading to one agency. Now this may not work for you or even be the best decision follow your gut and focus on your work.

LOL, I thought the same but if you think about it, it makes sense to combine the forums. I would hate that!

If this is new I can see them shutting down the forums at iStockphoto!

I was just at the Getty Contributor site and notice the iStock Logo at the top and the word Exclusive. I have not seen it there
before. Is this new or has it been there all along?

History may show that but not for me. I really don't think that plan is on the table.
