One keeps hearing that contributors are only uploading more and more and that it is impossible to keep up.

We wanted to find out how much more people are uploading and what the growth rate is. We wrote about our results right here:

Stock Performer / Start using keyword analytics
« on: April 19, 2017, 07:52 »
We've introduced keyword search in Stock Performer to allow you to group your images thematically by using keywords.

Find out whether:
- Horizontal images sell better than vertical images?
- Business Groups sell better than non-group business images?
- Nature landscapes sell better than urban landscapes?

These are just some ideas! For details on how it works, see our blog:

We are happy to announce our new partnership with VideoBlocks to include them among Stock Performers supported agencies. You will now be able to slice and dice your data to increase your sales in the VideoBlocks Marketplace.

Since VideoBlocks launched its Marketplace last year, our customers have often requested VideoBlocks support, showing how fast their community has grown. With 10,000 contributors and over 1.8 million clips, they are one of the fastest growing libraries in the industry.

Adding VideoBlocks fits well with our strategy to expand our analytics services to filmmakers. And its worth noting that VideoBlocks pays out a 100% commission to contributors something we havent seen anywhere else!

It was great to work with Greta Pittard, Vice President Content & Contributor Relationships, and Aaron Silverman, Technical Lead, to develop the interfaces necessary to make this a reality. With their help, we can make sure the data runs smoothly between our services.

Sign up to Stock Performer for a free month of trial!

Thanks to Tyler for publishing our newest article on MSG's blog:

http://blog.microstockgroup.com/microstocks-business-case-how-much-can-you-earn/

Our motivation was to explore how much one could earn with microstock if one decided to start today. We wanted to look at the most important parameters which are under your control and offer you a live calculator to play around.

Of course, the evolution of the industry cannot be predicted. We hope however, that the business calculator is a useful and fun tool to explore the various options you have when deciding the best strategy for yourself.

Enjoy!
