New Sites - General / Re: STOCKFUNNY, new site searching photographers!!

« on: September 03, 2011, 04:29 »

Hi friends,
yes I'm agree that the whole design style,logo, web, etc is not the best in the world maybe. They told me that they are working on it, that's only a sketch. But, you have an example with Canstockphoto, I think their design is horrible but I'm selling many licenses there, that's the most important for me

I have post this thread because I think it's an opportunity to enter a new site without any effort. If it doesn't work, OK, you haven't loose any time, but if it works (obviously in other level than Shutter, iStock...) I think it will have been well worth it.

All of us are free to decide what we do, but I think we should be respectful of the work and efforts of others, even if we don't like it.

Sorry for my english

You seriously expect contributors to click on a shortened URL to create an account with password for an "agency" that does not provide any information upfront except that we can mail DVDs to an address that will be revealed if we send an email to the contributors@... account?

Seriously?

Hi click_click,
that site is not mine, I have used that shorten URL because is the one I have used in Twitter.
This is the complete URL: http://www.stockfunny.com/es/registro.aspx/?idcdf=1012

I have told you to write "[email protected]" because is the way they told me.
I sent my DVD to:
STOCKFUNNY
C/Marqués de San Esteban, 21 - 4º floor
33206 - Gijón - Asturias - SPAIN

But maybe it's better to contact them to confirm that's the proper address.

New Sites - General / STOCKFUNNY, new site searching photographers!!

Hi dudes!

I have received news about a new microstock agency: STOCKFUNNY
They want to market with great force, with a powerful advertising and promotion budget, with prices cheaper than usual and with better commissions for photographers than the rest.

And best of all, we do not have to spend the tiresome task of uploading our portfolio to the web, they take care of it. Simply register and create an account from here: http://bit.ly/nnwXIM then send a DVD by mailpost with all our images properly metadata tagged. You need to contact them at [email protected] to request the address where to send the DVDs.

Of course, if you don't want to send DVDs, you can also upload your photos directly from your private area.

Currently the site is closed to the public, is finalizing the design and programming some features.

I've already sent mine and they are online. Now have to wait and see how the agency works, but at least I only lost an hour to record the pictures and go to the post office to send the packet

Cheers!

Image Sleuth / Re: How can someone do this?

« on: March 10, 2011, 03:57 »

I'm also a graphic designer and I think it is impossible to make a mistake like that. When designing a website and upload files to the server, you usually check the website online to check that everything is in order.
