Jojo, can you tell please where and how can I change the pricing for already uploaded images? I feel like there's no that option at all after it was chosen once... 
Sorry for the inconvenient on this matter, please follow the following steps:Upload images>organise images>edit images>choose the image(s)> find the Price option which just below the image (please find the attached image)>choose the price you want> done!

The web design and English need some work. The interface feels a bit dated. I only see two contributors - Bestviewstock with over 100k and Viewstock with 50k. Both Chinese factories. So, you're not really going to gain an audience with that kind of content.
The Discover function actually works pretty well. It couldn't find the images I was looking for, but it managed to figure out that a clown fish was a clown fish and gave me back images of clown fish. Same for roller skates.
I agree...things need to be rewritten by a native English speaker, and the video needs a native-English-speaking VO. Also, the photos you're choosing as the background images behind the search box are too busy. It makes it difficult to see the search box. "About us" is written to contributors, which would be odd for a buyer to read. I suggest separate paths for buyers and contributors. I think the site still needs a bit of work.
But I do like the 80% idea a lot. 
Thank you very very much for your valued suggestions, we will keep them in mind and do some modifications in these days. Join us if you like the idea. Thanks in advance.

The search is an interesting concept
The royalties are good
Regarding search , if for instance an image sells, does that qualify it to rank higher in the search?
And what about deleting images, is it possible to completely remove images from the database, and how quickly can it be done?
And what about licensing? Are there different licenses for different uses or is it one licence for all?
The only other concern is POD print on demand of it is allowed?
And yes, POD print is allowed, but if the image buyers using the image on resale products usage, they have to purchase the extended licence.

If the image buyer using search by image, the results is only depend on the similarity, which means the more your image is similar to the searched one, the higher rank your image will have.If the image buyer using search by keywords, then the results will depend on the sales, user's favorites and other elements, of course, the more your images be sold, the higher rank your images will have. Yes, you can delete any image at anytime you want, but usually, we will give the image another 30 days because some image buyers may already have put the image into their shopping cart. After 30 days, the image will be completely removed from our database. SIM have two kinds of image license, RF and RL, RF is royalty free images as we all know, RL imgae is rights limited images(generally speaking, the RL images are the images which do not have the model release or the property release ), which could only be used in editorial usage. For the RF images, image buyers could purchase the standard licence and also the extended licence,while the RL image could only be used in editorial. Both price of standard licence and extended licence are set by contributors when they upload images. Please feel free to contace me if you have any detail quetions. Thanks.

If you find a great image on a stock images agency which price is too high, you can search it with Discover, and you may find many similar images but with a much lower price.
So, using Discover could help you to save time and money by searching licensed images with random images.
If I understand correct, you help clients to find image as cheap as possible? That's great! For clients... Well, many PRO authors will be indignant with your tool as they (we) try to sell for higher than lower pricing. I mean helping find the cheapest image means less income for author - your tool works agains photographers. Am I correct thinking it works this way? I know my instinct may seem not nice but it tells me something smells bad here for my business.
From other thread:
... We don't want to see the price lower and lower. We try to change the rule. Profit-sharing mode is the most important thing to the relationship between contributor and image stock agency.
Hm... We (authors) don't want to see lower and lower prices too...
And now we have four threads on the forum
no1
no2
no3
This one is no4.
Thank you for your focus on SIM. Discover always gives the image buyers the most similar ones, the similarity is the only factor that determines the results, not the price. We believe this is very equal for every image, also for every contributor. But yes, different image have different price, as a contributor you could set price on SIM, you could set a lower price, cause we all know small profits and quick return, while you could also set a higher price for you images which you think are really good ones. On the other hand, the image buyers have the right to choose the images they want, they may take composition, price and other elements into consideration, but that's market. What we want to build is a fair and free market for both of contributors and the image buyers. Hope this could help to settle your doubts. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I'm Jojo Wang from SuperImageMarket. Superimagemarket.com is an open market for digital imagery trading. We offer a method to find licensed image by random images. It is an innovation of searching technology on stock images websites. Designers can find any images similar to the image they search by. So every photo gets equal chance to be sold well, even a new-uploaded image. It is a fair play to every contributor. And it will simplify all the work flow of design and increase the sale of creatives significantly. SuperImageMarket.com gives 80% (100% in 2015) of each sale to contributors. We encourage contributors to promote their creatives by themselves. The contributors could set price for their images, participate in every single business and appear directly in the contract as the authorized party, which means contributors could own an online shop to sell their images. To simplify the workflow, contributors could upload imges by FTP, and we will read IPTC metadata from images automatically. Then contributors could log in to edit and submit images by batch. Do not forget to set prices for images when you are editing images. Here is an introduce video about us. -------------------------------------------------------- We have another tool to help customers find images. You can find it by the following link: http://discover.superimagemarket.comDiscover is an online licensed images searching engine. Every one could find a licensed images by random images. Designers, marketers and editors explore all kinds of websites for inspiration, such as google, facebook, twitter, tumblr, pinterest. And they can just download a small image, drag and drop it onto the page of DISCOVER, then it will provide the same or the similar images in seconds through our advanced image searching technology, and all the results images are could be licensed. Or you can install discover plugin for web browsers. After installing the plugin, there will be a little icon shown on the top-left conner of every images once the mouse arrow hovering them. By clicking the icon on the image, Discover will find the same or similar licensed images in its database. Choose an image and click it, and you will find the stock images agencies in an new page. If you find a great image on a stock images agency which price is too high, you can search it with Discover, and you may find many similar images but with a much lower price. So, using Discover could help you to save time and money by searching licensed images with random images. Here is an introduce video about Discover. -------------------------------------------------------- Currently, we're filling SIM with images, we sincerely invite you to join us. And we're speeding up improvements in site performance and uploading experience, I'd like to hear your opinion about us, if you've got any questions or feedback, please feel free to post in this thread or contact us on email: [email protected].

There have been a couple of prior threads on these folks:
http://www.microstockgroup.com/newby-discussion/hi-to-all-!-new-member-i'm-superimagemarket/
http://www.microstockgroup.com/new-sites-general/new-site-superimagemarket/
I'm not sure what has changed since the last discussion - why will buyers purchase at this site being the primary unanswered question.
Also, you should get someone who really knows English to copy edit and proofread your e-mails.
Have you tried our search by image? This could save a lof of time for our image buyers, I dare say our image search technology is the best one in image stock industry. Although not as good as Google, it's far beyond than others

ok, got past the id , and today it recognized my web site - but it rejected all my test images as "not 30Mb"
NONE of my images are 30 mBYTEs !!! all are 6-24 mPIXELS, with almost all agencies accepting 6 MP, and even the 24mP ones are only about 15Mb on average
Hi, I hope you had a great start this year. SIM updated, the minimum uncompressed file size is changed to 10MB, now I think all your images are meet our new standard. And SIM could automatically read metada of images now. I sincerely invite you to join us.

Taiwan is not on the drop down list of countries. Why is that? You don't accept contributors from Taiwan?
Hi, sorry for the inconvenient experience on this matter because of our incomplete data, of course we welcome photographers all over the world. The country information is not the required one, please fill in all other required fields to complete the register.
Again, ever single photographer is our valued contributor and we always welcome your advise and suggestions. We are keeping optimize our system and improve photographer's experience, we sincere invite you to join us.
Merry Christmas.
You should drop that 30MB minimum stuff. That translates to 10MP minimum image size. All the industry leaders have 4 to 6 MP minimum. Not many will upload their highest resolution images to an unproven site.
Thank you for your suggestion, actually it has been incorporating in our plan and it will update online soon. Thank you for your focus on SIM. I would like to let you know when we complete this change. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other problem or suggestion. Thank you again. Nice day.

I dropped FT because of their poor sales amounts. I was getting a $1.50 for some HD sales. No thanks. Worse than iStock if you can imagine.
I had dropped them also for .21 subs the lowest around.
What % do you get from the $36?
I am getting ready to dive into making animations and I will only upload to places that pay a high % or reasonable with good volume, a lot of work goes into making them.
I feel Istocks new program for vids as an indi not enough royalty and vids as an exclusive thier $$ are quite high priced, could be good but not sure they will have the sales.
Hi, I'd like to introduce you Superimagemarket, you can get 80% here, although we now only accept jpeg files, we will support vector graphics and video soon, we are looking forward to your joining.

I started filling in the info for contributor status, and it went fine until I reached the 'verify' section which demands my passport and passport photo? that's ridiculous - not about to send such information to a newcomer - what if I don't have a passport? ?
it also requires something called 'web' after email, but won't accept a legitimate url
Thank you for your focus. Sorry for any inconvenient during the register. The verify documents can be any valid documents including passport, identification card, driving license,etc. just simply choose one of them and upload. As for the url, I have tried several times and it works fine, is that convenient for you to send me your web to see if anything I can help? Thank you. Nice day!

Hello friends,
This is Superimagemarket, new member from yesterday.
Some of you may see our ads here, some of you have doubts here. We really thank your focus on SIM.
Super Image Market is the new online website that's serious about helping you manage, promote and sell your work. We are not the traditional stock company but an internet company, what we want to do is connect the photographer and the customer directly. We are quite different from the others:
1. You are the authorized party appear directly in the contract and invoice;
2. You can choose your own price;
3. You get 80% of each sale, the largest royalty paid by any of the major players in the Industry. You can get 100% of each sale before December 31, 2015;
4. Non exclusive, you won't suffer any loss and opportunity;
5. The latest image search technology, break the monopolize market on image stock;
6. All your information (such as your website, your email etc.) are public for the customers, they may contact you directly.
You may have questions or doubts, but what I think is we just need a chance to get to know each other a little more, we will always stand on the side of the photographers, not the antithesis. The good environmental for stock image is win-win instead of the agents get most of the commission fees.
We are waiting for you.
Join us, join the change.
Have a nice day!

Hi friends, Thank you for your focus on Superimagemarket. This is Jojo Wang from SIM. First, let me dismiss the doubts for you. About the storage fees. At least now we dont charge it, you can upload your images and waiting for the sales, if the sales begin to sizzle then you can go on, if not, just remove the images and stop to using it any more, actually, there is no loss for you but a chance for both you and us. About the points and rating, we set this standard for encouraging you to manage your own SIM webesite, SIM is a platform that photographers can register and do their own E-business here. About the price, SIM has six different price system and you can choose any one of them while you uploading you images, the lowest price is A1 as the picture below:  I think the A1 price is suitable for most of microstock phothgraphers. As we say, although you can choose the price we can change that, what we want to change is set a price at 0 USD to helping you promote some kind of your images if you want. About 5.7.1, definitely we wont do the things you worried about, all we want is to protect the customers rights as well as the photographers. More information about SIM. ① Synchronize words. We can synchronize one of your image keywords to the series of images when you keywording online. ② SIM will always stand on the side of the photographers, not the antithesis. We helping photographers to get most of the royalties instead of get most of the commission fees. Now I believe we just need more little trust, we are not the traditional stock company but an internet company, what we want to do is connect the photographer and the customer directly. So, join us, join the change. superimagemarket.com
