Zymmetrical increases commision to 70%

I guess they resorted to the cheap beer.
FreedomFriesnBruisedEgos:
Seriously, though, 1773 files is stunning. My portfolio is about half of theirs. I guess it just goes to show that sites like microstockgroup do make a difference. Has anyone here heard of them insulting contributors on other sites? Or was the original post a one-off?

Dear FreedomFries,
Walk into my office and act rude, and you'll be asked to leave. Some on here think because it's the internet you can be rude and expect a call-center response, sorry, it doesn't work that way with our business. We are not AOL and we don't want the business of unfriendly artists. If that's an issue for you, then simply move on to the next forum thread, is it so hard?

But is anyone here a member? Any personal experiences to relate? And ... more important ... any sales? 70% of 0 is 0
That thread, with its sneaky 'encouragement' did not exactly encourage me to submit, coupled with the fact that they have a tiny image base. I did a search on 'business' and it threw up 12 images, most of which weren't terribly relevant. For me, at the moment, it doesn't seem worth the effort.
It's tough setting up in this business now. Good luck!

Thanks- it's indeed much work.
The image count is a work in progress but admittedly not the highest priority until recently - the system must work flawlessly before we fill 'er up. There's 110K on deck but they must be moved out gradually to avoid rocking the boat.

We have carefully considered the pre-payment model but at this time it doesn't seem to be in the best long-term interests of both us as the people running the firm and the people participating as Artists. We need to keep the business viable, and have instituted the Zyrank ranking system to make sure that the best photos rise to the top and earn more money for the Artists.
When such a commerce system works as intended, there should be no need to pre-pay artists as they will be making earnings as designed. Thats the plan at least. :)
