international multilingual photo agency.
one of the large 6 of world-wide micro stock agencies, the boss sits in
New York, the technicians in Paris and marketing in Berlin. the side is
sometimes slowly, for the examination of your own sales of photos there
is a good statistics function. |

one of the worldwide leader. price for the
photoos completely in the cellar, approximately 20 ct remain per down
load, bang-hard selection at the beginning by hurdle of 7 from 10 example
photos, disburses itself however nevertheless. only for patient recommendable after a half of a year i earned mor than 500$, and from this time up i get 0,3 $ fro one download. and it is still running |
||||
| panthermedia |
the headquarter of the photo agency in grey
range of microstock and macro stock is in Bavaria, good and rapid uploaden
by ftp, selection process could do sometimes faster, however there is
the possibility ti evaluate he photos by the community . in german only
|
|||||
| digitalstock |
|
a respectablly working, unspektakuläre
photo agency, the hompeage of the microstock agency has an old Design
and somewhat pedantic attitude process for uploading the photos, the statistics
ejects all possible data, but which photos well sell remains oneself hidden. |
||||
| shotshop |
|
the photo agency with the most dangerous
design sets on quality and lies with the uniform price of 30 euro in the
centre zone of the agencies. the process of keywording is the same as
a large interantionale professional agency has, therefore somewhat pedantically. |
||||
| dreamstime |
international US agency, terribly with the
model relaeases, support and forum in English, better to range for tipps
and cheat the stock photography. |

i´m not sure what to tell. the German photo agency "picture machine" is difficulty, I have there few sales, but these to normal agency-conditions I imagine the agency is interesting for t press pictures and for those, they want make there self marketing, the goal is by the sensationally simple upload process it makes however none strives the pictures to adjust.for a few euros a month you can make your own photo agancy. with german and english keywords |
||||
| 123rf |
|
easy to upload, easy to manage, and , the best system around the model realeses, conversions continuously but moderately. good cost/value ratio |
||||
| bigstockphoto |
|
a large US photo agency, relative simply upload process, average selection of the photos, more continuously but moderate proceeds for the adjusted pictures. for the most photos i sell, i get 1$ . an advantage microstock agency is that assets are paid off starting from 30 US $ |
||||
| stockxpert |
|
a complicated hungarian agency, with easy uploading and rapidly selection, one selects within minutes. picture sales however less | ||||
| whitelife |
|
a small fine Swiss picture agency, ehere you can upload all your pictues without selection, they sell the pictures on swiss level, but very seldom. german only |
||||
| bildunion |
German agency with simple upload process and with an english site also. conversion rather moderately |
|||||
| Scanstockphoto |
simple Swedish photo agency. you get per photo 1 euro, upload only in the html batch up to 15 photos, but who has time, a few euro per month for you | |||||
| luckyoliver |
|
funny American microstock photo agency, who does not keep in track, is shot: -) mostly they post photos funny and nice comments of the selection. i give a chance to the agency, as they give nearly each photo a chance more simply upload mechanism. |
||||
| photocase |
|
special agency for photos, those otherwise
nobody wants. auxiliary bonus: for each photo, which is taken, you can
down-load 5 other pictures. therefore everybody has a lot of downloads. |
||||
| canstock |
|
somewhat brittle photo agency of canada. depending on how many photos were accepted by them, you can upload new pictures on a daily. famous invention: a function with automatically catagoriiy so it simple to join in order to make a few dollar in the month |
||||
| crestock |
|
a strictly selection of the photos, spends bad cost/ value relationship, but a good training for good or bad stock photo. each day the worst submitted picutre wil be commanded. fortunately still none of mine : -) |
portfolio | |||
| pitopia |
|
nice German agency, they don´t want foreigners because of the vomplicated bank transfer however they select exactly fair, the price lies in the centre zone and sounds promising |
|
|||
| Us photostock |
|
photos can uploaded only with HTTP batch , takes nearly everything, however nearly nothing sells | portfolio | |||
| fotomedia |
|
agency from the high north. that arranged simple rather small conversions |
|
|||
| featurepics |
very simply upload process, price free selectable by the photographer, only those conversions are missing still to be satisfied with the ageny there are however auxiliary features to perfect your work |
|
||||
| istock |
|
istockphoto is the largest photo agency within microstock agencies, there is an strictly limit of weekly upload (on this days it raising up to 25 files a week), which makes it difficult to construct a large portfolio. a very good photoagency for people with internatioal useful photos and patience, which can get richly. but i think only for those they sell their photos exclusively with istockphoto.
|
|
|||
| microstockphoto |
|
still the best under the countless agencies, those use the cheap software, herefore also a few small sells, fot me 3$ and 50 ct in six month. |
|
|||
| zoonar |
recent agency with community , time will see whether the concept will start, offer a relatively free price structuring and up to 80% of the conversion. | |||||
| gimmestock |

ein neuer komplizierter modus zum raufladen, 0,5 euro umsatz in 5 monaten, ist irgendwie noch nicht fertig die seite, schaut aber schön aus.... a new complicated mode to upload, 0.5 euro conversion in 5 months, the site is not finished yet , however it looks beautifully…. |
||||
| albumo |
|
brand-new micro stock photo agency, they lets them cost itself to get a grat portfolio, sounds promising, the credits you get for a picture will rise with the conversion. as an entrance bonus they gives you for 250 photos 25$, and an bonus of 10ct for all pictueres more than 1000. fine |

the people of raw stock images have thought, they try it with a new name and new design again. but there are still no sales, but many mails from them explaining what they do somehow agitating. |
