Fantastic news

Happy read this! Rock on Stocksy you treat the photographer well so may others learn from your success and if not may you squash them like a bug!

Congrats! Good to hear that a startup can become profitable in such a short time....shows there is a desire on the part of buyers for something new and different.

Quote

"I love to build things, trying to maximise revenue and margins is not as exciting to me. The community at iStock was surprisingly strong. Even today, with nobody at the helm of iStockphoto, there are still people hanging on the ship as it is sinking into the depths of apathy."

Congrats guys! Making a profit so early in the game is an impressive achievement!

Congrats to all the "Stocksy-ers". I wish you continued success.

Long may the alternatives flourish and stay profitable while paying contributors decent royalties. Nice to have some good news

EmberMike · « **Reply #14 on:** October 10, 2013, 21:52 »

Cool stuff. Still hoping for the day when Stocksy takes illustrations, so maybe I can get in on the fun.

Great news.

Didn't I hear that Corbis still hasn't turned a profit? Or is that just urban legend?

Either way.. rock on Stocksy. It would be great if stocksy really made a spash (or waves) in the industry and agencies started fighting for the attention of the photographer instead of just fighting for the buyer.

oh please, its not rocket science, sure you have a few that would suit Stocksy, the real trouble is getting in with all the super curators there

It can't be true. We all have heard that royalty percentages over 20% are totally unsustainable!

fotoVoyager · « **Reply #21 on:** October 11, 2013, 15:37 »

That's pretty impressive in such a short space of time. They've obviously got a team that knows how to sell as well as great content. Well done.

alberto · « **Reply #22 on:** October 11, 2013, 15:51 »

Congrats! I'm happy to see that it's possible despite the skepticism of some people. As I said in the past this co-op is a good thing, I don't care if they don't fit my production or if I can't join here, the point is that they are the evidence that this race to the bottom is stupid and my hope is that more company like this born.
Again great news and congrats.

Pilens · « **Reply #23 on:** October 11, 2013, 19:32 »

Well done, Stocksy! Congrats!

I wish I was part of this success, but my photos suck

gillian vann · « **Reply #24 on:** October 13, 2013, 04:40 »

so nice to read this, couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch

also pleased my Stocksy friend Deirdre's pic is the focus, I've met some super talented ladies over there.
