Microstock Is Global!
      


As a follow-up to Lee Torren’s MicroStockDiaries post about the global diversity of microstock, we thought it would be interesting to check the global footprint of the SnapVillage contributor community.
Check it out:
 
 
A few interesting snippets we can add to Lee’s discussion questions:

SnapVillage contributors come from 104 countries
Over 50% of SnapVillage contributors are from outside of [...]

I remember that Lee Torrens was calling the owner of Lucky Oliver visionary.
Depending on Lee Torrens comments is a bad omen for SnapVillage.  :)

Microstock was a conspiracy of the rest of the world to get back the money they lent the US to cope with its budget deficit. In a striking counter move, the US then lowered its dollar so much that it couldn't afford buying Chinese tools any more. This brought down the construction industry and consequently Lehman bros on their knees, so G Walker B had to nationalize them with more borrowed money. It's clear by now: the collapse of Capitalism and Wall street is all the fault of Microstock.  :o  ;D

Okay, I was going to edit that because it sounds a little too sarcastic.. but the site won't let me at the moment...

But Lee has almost become our go-to-guy.  They (agencies) actually listen to him.

Now, instead of saying "I'll write a letter to the editor" we can say "I'll write a letter to Lee Torrens!"

ha ha, that's true. Actually, Lee Torrens *still* thinks the owner of LuckyOliver is a visionary, so I wouldn't listen to anything he says. ;)

I still actually think lucky oliver was a good site - and if it was still around I would be uploading there.  Just too bad the bottom fell out :(

Thanks Lorraine, that's good for the ego. The agencies 'listen' in the sense that they read it because they know everyone else in the industry reads it, but that's not the same as 'listening' to what I'm saying as though it means anything. I still just an average microstock contributor to them, the only difference is that I'm loud.

But, I love the idea of being a 'go-to guy', so if you think my 'loudness' can do something for you or for us, I very much welcome those letters.  ;D

Totally. Market strategy can be as good as you like, but if you don't have investors with expectations that are in tune with the market, it won't save you.
