Dear colleagues, I've just published this blog post on a trend that I potentially see occurring soon (hope I'm not giving these agency decision-makers any ideas): During the past six months, most notably, Wirestock and Picfair have dropped their respective statuses as free to upload stock agencies in what is a potentially significant trend for contributors. In this blog post Ill discuss whether this business model will become more commonplace and if it may present itself as a threat to contributors income in a time when were already experiencing diminishing returns coupled with rising inflation. Or perhaps, this fee will be an opportunity! https://brutallyhonestmicrostock.com/2023/07/13/will-contributors-soon-have-to-pay-microstock-agencies-to-host-their-content/Alex

Keen to share this useful tip.
Was looking for some images back from 5+ years ago and found out that you can download a high-resolution copy from your own DP port instead of digging through backup drives archives.

Lets get started! https://brutallyhonestmicrostock.com/2023/01/31/january-2023-brutally-honest-earnings-report/Hope you're having a great start to the year. Alex

Trying out for the first time and created two clips. TikTok is apparently all the hype now with Gen Z, so may be a good way to reach out, even to promote POD for instance or talk about the photo industry developments like AI. Or perhaps just a giant waste of time, not sure yet but willing to experiment. Anybody having success? Wrote a blog post on it which shamelessly includes a link to my channel on there. https://brutallyhonestmicrostock.com/2022/11/09/tiktok-is-it-worth-uploading-content/I'll give it 6 months promoting my travel photos/videos and if that fails I'll put on my dancing shoes! All the best - Alex

Randomly checking up on how some of my best-sellers on SS rank for certain keywords and was surprised to see that some of those best-sellers have listed to buyers as "Never Used". Here's an example of one of my best-sellers from Sept 2015. I've randomly checked other best-sellers and have encountered the same issues. How about yours? Perhaps to entice buyers to use it so that it's more unique to their content, which would be fraud. Or at the very best, just plain old negligence. I'm all for more sales but not if you need to trick buyers to achieve this result. I'll create a thread on their forum, oh wait, there is no more forum

The year is officially over and its that wonderful time again to publish a comprehensive review of the year that was, while providing a glimpse forward to the new year. To sum up, its been largely a year of frustration mainly due to a lack of travel but as always, I remain optimistic for next year, particularly when it comes to capturing book covers and drone footage. Lets get started! https://brutallyhonestmicrostock.com/2022/01/01/2021-year-end-review-good-bad-and-ugly/All the best - Alex
