Title: Invitation to Offset
Post by: yuliang11 on February 07, 2014, 00:02
Hi,
 Recently i've been invited to contribute to Shutterstock's Offset. just went trough the contributor TOS. it seems images exclusively is not required and contributors are given 30% cut.  Any comments from participating contributors ?

I applied many months ago and never heard back, they truly are similar to Stocksy

congrats on getting accepted


thank you ! although i think being accepted doesn't mean anything much.

yes, i did too with no news from Stocksy. For Offset, but instead of applying using normal microstock profile. i used my travel photos instead http://500px.com/malaysiaweddingphotographer. (http://500px.com/malaysiaweddingphotographer.)

I believe they won't be happy if I submit the same content from Shutterstock to Offset. Non exclusivity would be beneficial as I already have some editorial/travel from Inmagine and Alamy.

Thanks. From the email it seems that I will have to sign the TOS to be accepted. Anything may happen as it took me weeks to reply that email.  Its not such a big deal really  ;D

Indeed, I'd be really curious to know how OFFSET perform. They seem like a bit of a closed book at the moment. I've been accepted but am reluctant to send anything until I hear some positive vibes...

to be honest, i have some photos exclusively in getty+flickr. the result isn't promising. so i'm not gonna put much hope into anything
