General Stock Discussion / Why can't we do this? - Microstock Coop
« on: October 07, 2013, 04:18 »
Hi,
I see many people are part of the microstock industry and also running their own personal website to sell images. Symbiostock has really helped us and many to bring an individual presence and direct selling model.
I want to share some views (my personal and no offence)...
Contributors:
1- We are seeing many new websites coming in the market. Many survive and many not. Contributors gets invitations to join them in their initial phase with some benefits. We then review the site, discuss the royalty rates and tell the pros and cons of the new site in this forum.
2- We usually discuss regarding the royalty rates. As we can see within top tier companies, there is no fair commission rate. And we then read on news that companies has generated so much revenue and earning.
3- We are seeing less sales from past many months and this is gradually increasing. Many members are discussing regarding low sales on forums.
Buyers:
1- Buyer are getting confused from where to buy now. So many companies with so many offers.
2- Buyer gets even more confused when they get to know that there are even more individual symbiostock websites.
3- There is lot of supply with limited demands.
My views:
Since, there are many good people out in this msg forum who are constantly active. We are aware about the royalty structure and no fair contributor commission. Why cannot we make a group and launch a website which allow every users a fair chance as well as fair commission.
Lets bring all the individual sellers and unite them to a new "our" community generated website from where buyers can directly buy from us and we also give a very good royalty % commission. All there will be a running expenses of annual maintenance charge and some marketing and SEO expenses. There could be a small investment on website building etc.
This platform will also provide a one shop destinations for buyers as well as a fair commission to us.
Let there be any good person to lead and handle this website from here msg forums and create and select team from here only. We know that buyers wants images and we also know we want fair commission.
Let me know your views on it.
