Instead of fighting each other though, we'd have to work as a unit, like an Olympic team.
Good luck with that! There are lots of people here that hate the fact that their images aren't the only ones available!

That's the mentality I'd like to destroy but I know my odds in this industry. I've gotta say there are definitely groups who do it better and succeed because of it.
I would really appreciate efforts for attracting designers to post on this forum. I think designer/photographer exchanges is the biggest lack in microstock. It make no sense that we don't work together
And I wished we had a lawyer.

Also, maybe those who know could post links to sites/forums for buyer discussions. I would love to hear their thoughts on all elements of using pictures.
... Sure, we're all in competition but the American Olympians train together to get better. They have a common goal of beating the Canadians at hockey (AND SUCCEEDING!) I'd like to see this group have more of a common goal of being the best at what we do....
Not a very apt analogy - hockey is a team sport, so the athletes must practice together. It's not uncommon for elite athletes in individual sports to train in isolation - just look at Shaun White, Shani Davis, Lindsey Vonn, etc.
Thanks vonkara. I do remember that thread. Maybe I should be doing a search and silently observe the designer sites. Knowledge is power.
...wanted to talk about our standard happy smiling people pictures... and jumping gold fishes
Wouldn't it be nice if a common subject - like "How do I upsize for Alamy?" appeared right at the top of the Alamy forum so it wouldn't be asked several times a year.
I'm a stats junky, so I'd love more statistic. It would be nice to get anonymous site stats from users. Maybe an average site earnings or something like that. I don't know if it would work, but it's just an idea.
