Any of you guys have already heard about it?
Yay! have just signed up as I am going to pull the plug on a couple of no hopers!It can never be worse than Albumo.
Simple, fast, easy... and Euros :) great !
Just signed up and uploaded 11 images and they were accepted already in a matter of minutes. I shoot mainly wildlife and nature, hopefully they will do well there. I know its harder to make sales in that niche but that's what I enjoy doing.

And they pay in Euros.
They take editorial and I have the impression they are runaways from a large established Scandinavian editorial macro site.
Yap and I'd wish you would have kept it private for a while like all other people did here. ;D

Well said, when I got my email I was impressed that it was personally written and as a result I've uploaded there.
It would seem now that anybody can contribute, I just hope they maintain the site on a professional level, they've started out well and have a good marketing strategy and background.
For anybody that has joined as a result of seeing this thread I implore you to maintain a level of professionalism on this site, don't turn the forum into something like LO or FP which now come over as sites for amateur snappers, that will kill Yaymicro and we'll all lose out on any potential sales.
Very smooth indeed, and Norwegian... how can I resist? Gotta support those poor souls up there in the freezing north :D
I'm in. First photos approved already. But how do I tell them that a photo is editorial?

when you are editing the info for an image there is a box where you change it from being 'artistic' to 'editorial'
80/20 rule. 80% of your revenue will come from 20% of the sites (if not now, but eventually) - your time to upload to the remaining 80% isn't worth that 20% -

Sorry but I believe that the purpose of this forum is to share information among us and help each other :)
Clearly, the existance of a new microstock site is not a "confidential information" and, as far as I know, applications are open to everybody. Then, it's their business to decide what is worth to be accepted.
What do you think?
I wonder if they will get 200,000 images without paying us? There needs to be some incentive for me to upload my portfolio.

Hugo, pm me please when you get a referral code.Linda posted on the YAY forum yesterday that it will be next week. A bummer for me since I'm flying from sunday morning till tuesday afternoon with long waits in London, one of the Gulf States, Bangkok and Taipei. I finally got WIFI but not sure how "free" WIFI is on exotic airports.

Perhaps I was unclear in this. I just wanted to wait till they have a referral program in place. It's easy money and it benefits us all. I never join a new site any more without a referral code of some members here.
When I started uploading in the very beginning, there were glitches in the FTP (non UTF-8 in the filenames) and the IPTC import (they imported the wrong field as title) and we managed to iron them all out in the forum recently. I had to copypaste all the titles of the first 200 uploaded, and their programmer had to tweak my FTP file names manually.
Just wanted to avoid a lot of lost time for contributors here. All works fine now. It's nothing personal at all Diego, at the contrary. For more than a year, you are 1 of my fav photogs on DT ;-)

Yeah, the name surely does sound a bit eccentric, but after all what does "google" mean? Once a company is successful, people get used to most unusual names.
One thing is certain, these guys know how to build a slick and superfast website, with probably the best upload process in the industry. We will see if it remains so smooth as the database grows.
What's more they pay in a real-world currency and the royalty structure is very decent.
Usually I don't contribute to low performing sites or startups, but I decided to give YAY a chance. Let's hope they will be successful in reaching buyers.

Has anyone had any sales at Yay?
