Hello,

I have some questions regarding zoonar.I signed up yesterday and am planning to upload pics but couldn't find some answers.

1) I am already selling on 2 of the top 4 as microstock and wanted to join mid/macrostock.So is it okay if I offer same rf images under premium pricing?Do premium images sell?Or standard images sell more?I just don't want to offer microstock price.

2) Is the pre-filled data necessary in order to upload or we can fill in the data after uploading?Free client doesn't seem to work for me.

3) Are you guys unlike other microstock agencies open to 3d photography/anaglyph as well as some sky images?Obviously not any ordinary sky but skies that happen like less than 20 times a year.Or you already have some categories in abundance?

4) I am not a german and can't keyword in german.Would the search results pick up my images if they are keyworded in english?What is the limit of keywords?50?

5) I read on many forums that sales went down after one of the partner companies left, is it true?What is the sales status like now?

6) It is awesome to see the number of distributors offered.One of them is alamy.My question is that if I am selling the same image on both alamy and zoonar and if it overlaps on alamy if I choose alamy is 1 of the distributors, then what?Will I face some problems or that image will be simply rejected?

7) Alamy also offers distributors.So should I opt in for distributors on only 1 site like alamy or on each and every site like zoonar that offers that facility?'Coz there are major chances of overlapping.

Will universal model releases be accepted?

9) Lastly, I read the terms and condition of mauritius images on the partners page of zoonar that the image offered to be distributed should not be pre-existing in their database.Now the thing is that mauritius images is partner of both alamy and zoonar.So if I opt in for distributors on both the sites, images are bound to overlap on mauritius images.What then?Will it reject one of the agency offering that image or will just reject it from both the agencies?Or is it like whichever agency submits 1st....?

Thank you.

Okay, I got my 1st two pictures approved and I want to share them with my accepted partners.

So should I just tick the agencies I want to share the images with and auto-assign OR edit each image and go to partner settings in edit option and request approval?What is the difference between requesting approval and auto assigning?When I tried to auto assign, the agency icons didn't show besides the images like they do when approval is requested through marking them in edit option.

If I don't change change the partner settings i.e. not ask for any approval but just tick the images and agencies in the advanced partner management and click save settings, will it do?

Ok, thank you.But I had some questions which I wanted answers to.They are partially legal questions you can say.

1) It is awesome to see the number of distributors offered.One of them is alamy.My question is that if I am selling the same image on both alamy and zoonar and if it overlaps on alamy if I choose alamy as 1 of the distributors, then what?Will I face some problems or that image will be simply rejected?

2) Alamy also offers distributors.So should I opt in for distributors on only 1 site like alamy or on each and every site like zoonar that offers that facility?'Coz there are major chances of overlapping.

3) Lastly, I read the terms and condition of mauritius images and agefotostock on the partners page -
"The photos must not be online at mauritius images already"
"Photos must not have already been uploaded at age fotostock or THP directly or via another picture agency"

Now the thing is that mauritius images is partner of both alamy and zoonar.So if I opt in for distributors on both the sites, images are bound to overlap on mauritius images.What then?Will it reject one of the agency offering that image or will just reject it from both the agencies?Or is it like whichever agency submits 1st....?

Please answer them..Thank you.
