direct marketing is a quite efficient tool
I am often thinking about direct marketing. What is the most efficient way to find and to contact potential customers? I think given the price range of our illustrations on clipartof, the most likely buyers would be graphics designers. Is there an inexpensive way to reach them directly?

As a contributor, it is not my nor yours job to promote the agency.
It is completely fine if this is your opinion - nobody will force you to do something you don't want.

I would more likely want to build up my own site with my own images and promoting that site to have a 100% commission.
Then do it that way.

You are not talking about a true ring, right? Just a reciprocal link agreement?
This is something we can discuss. I am open for both possibilities. I am not sure if one method is better than the other in terms of search engine optimization.
I don't think it is possable? Do other microstock sites allow you to post websites or emails?
I could be wrong.
We have to discuss this with Jamie, obviously. But I think both parties would benefit.

So this acquisition was basically eliminating a competition. They just took only distributing channels while they were not interested in another microsite.
Yep, this is probably the death kiss for StockXpert.

Maui, could you please email Jamie and explain about the tax please?
I am waiting for Shutter to clarify things, then we can tell Jamie. Up to now a few of the details are a bit obscure.
The ring idea is great. Do you know how to set it up?
ClipartOf puts up links to the contributor's websites, and we place links to Clipartof on our sites. Since ClipartOf has a large traffic, this will get us more exposure with the search engines = more traffic for us. The additional visitors will occasionally follow the link to clipartof, which gives them more exposure as well. So we would just tell Jamie the link to our website, and we would place reciprocal links on our sites.

The 30% tax is payable only if a contributor resides in a country without a double taxation treaty with the US. For all others - probably the majority of contributors - paying this tax can be avoided.
ClipartOf and the constributors - or at least those of them who understand the value of marketing - could form a link referral ring, which increases exposure and traffic for all participating sites without costing anything. Since e.g. my graphics are mostly very different from the existing stuff at ClipartOf I can probably attract a totally new and different customer croud. This might be true for some of the other new contributors as well.

Jamie could setup a referral program for buyers with an affilliate service like Commission Junction: http://www.cj.com. If I see that actual sales are coming in I will promote the site via my own website, perhaps replacing links to Shutter and Fotolia with a link to ClipartOf. But I have first to see how things develop.

Is it now possible to upload raster illustrations via FTP?
237

It is worth knowing that for Shutterstock you don't need a separate 'small' jpeg version. You can safely upload the large one. I do this all the time.

There are some initial problems with the site. I suggest you wait a couple of days before uploading more until they are fixed. You can visit this german forum for more reports: http://www.foto-talk.relota.com

Ok, thanks, I'll do that.

Well, my images that were supposed to be transferred from SV, are still missing...

How long does it currently take to review pictures? I uploaded some earlier last week and they are not yet reviewed. But I don't want to be impatient... They are probably drowned in submissions...

I am very thankful to the OP because I didn't know about clipartof before.

From what I was reading, if you supply an EIN instead of at ITIN, you will need to do a US tax return every year for the IRS (Due not later than April 15th).
Only if your business is in the US.
If your business is outside of the US you do not have to supply them with any annual tax return because your accounts are nothing to do with the US, that's the whole point of completing a W-8BEN
Do you have a link for this? I remember reading about it somewhere, but I can't find it anymore.

There is an iMac, too, of course

Yeah, it is completely clear to me that the site is intended for data harvesting only. Otherwise there would be no business model behind it.

I think he addressed each of your points, didn't he??
I think you missed the problem that photos appear instead of illustrations in the search, which is by far the worst bug.
As far as search sort options - we're looking at adding some sort options later this year. This has nothing to do with sort options. It is a wrong search result - you are not getting what you asked for.

Hi Brian,
thanks for your reply.

And when I am logged in there seems to be no way of changing my default country.

Windows allows to create zipped folders directly. Why not let users store more than one .eps/.jpg pair in a single zip file? Then the user just creates a zip archive in Windows explorer and simply drags all his .eps/.jpg files into it.
(I guess there is something similar for Macs, but I haven't checked).

Well, looks like nobody at Veer is interested in bug reports.
