Hi,
I have been shooting for perhaps 6 years now (
http://www.filedimage.com/) and only recently got into selling stock seriously. In March I started and am now signed up to 10 libraries and selling 40-70 images a week, which is maybe $30-$60 a week. I think thats OK and I need to keep pushing for it be worthwhile
I have maintained my own blog type site, semi successfully and had images on Zenfolio which is great in all aspects, including for wedding clients, but gets zero sales thru Google etc. Terrible SEO and a known issue. SymbioStock interests me but straddling to this and uploading here also seems odd. I could keep Zenfolio purely for wedding and corporate etc. Move everything else into SymbioStock. I use Wordpress already so the switch should be quick.
I see SymbioStock has nice galleries, great SEO and eay uplaod via FTP etc. Im hoping blog feature is good. One question I have is whether galleries can be locked for sale or not. Id like to use a blog generally for things I do but a few events I cant sell images from even though I want them up in a blog and online for viewing. Zenfolio has excellent galleries and im worried about losing functionality
A little bit of persuasion and I think ill start playing:) Might allow me to properly separate Zenfolio to what it does best and also to organise my site in general.
