POLL: Do you sell direct through your own personal website?
sharpshot:
I do plan to get my own site one day but I never seem to get any time to work on it. I'm also waiting for someone to come up with better ways for us to get together and sell direct to buyers. What I want is for us all to have separate sites but be able to put images in to combined collections that will be more interesting to buyers than individual portfolios. I would also like to see a way for buyers to only have to register once and be able to buy images from different portfolios. I don't think my portfolio on its own is going to make many people sign up and download and it would probably be a waste of money to market it.
I thought that this would all be available by now but all the entrepreneurs seem fixated by the way the big sites have set things up. Hopefully someone will take a risk and set up an alternative.

Unfortunately 80% wasn't enough for istock, they now take 83% off me. Hopefully part of their downturn is due to their greed and other sites wont follow them. If someone comes up with a better option to buy and sell stock images than we currently have, I don't think they will have to spend a penny on marketing, we will do it all for them via social networking etc.
