The Photo Storage v2.0 launch

ThePhotoStorage has just launched their 2.0 version and it looks promising. Check out some of the new features:

Introducing our FAIR-TRADE Policy!!!

  • As part of our FAIR-TRADE Policy, from now on we are giving you 50% of the royalties whenever you make a sale. You don’t need to be exclusive or enrol in any program, no matter the size of your portfolio, you will always receive 50%. No little tricky exceptions. Just like that.

Introducing our Referral Program!!!

  • Now you can help build our storage by referring new members, and on the way, you will earn part of the revenues you help us make. How does it work? Our Referral Program is very simple and straightforward. Display our banners on your website and in exchange, you will receive 10% of all sales and purchases made by your referred members during their first year at thephotostorage.com.

Expedite your uploading experience!!!

  • The greatest improvement on the uploading process since the sliced bread! Now you can save your upload preferences either on your personal profile or while editing a file. Those settings will be in place whenever you upload images until you change them again. You can even upload your images through your FTP account, and if title, description and keywords are included, they will be ready for inspection right away with no need for further edition. So from now on, uploading images to thephotostorage.com is a real expedited experience!!!!!

Personalize your Profile!!!

  • Embrace the difference: pick a color that fits your personality or simply change your surfing experience to match your mood. Choose from Grey, Green, and Blue to personalize your profile at thephotostorage.com. More colors coming soon.

ZOOM-IN!!!

  • As part of our new version, we have introduced a zoom that will magnify all photos up to 100%. Now, looking for details and focus is way easier!

Feedback On Newer Agencies

Hey guys…

It’s been a couple months since I’ve sent some DVDs with almost 500 images to a few sites and I thought I’d give you guys some feedback!

Canstockphoto: 2 sales
GeckoStock: 0 sales
SnapVillage: Images not even uploaded yet! Awful!!
Stockphotomedia: 5 sales
StockRiot: 0 sales
StockphotoPro: 0 sales
MostPhotos: 1 sale (12,5 euros)
Zymmetrical: 0 sales and almost 400 images still pending review! :(

I think the best one, even with 1 sale, was MostPhotos… The 12,5 euro sale is quite nice… :P

Hope this helps if you are considering submitting to these newer or smaller agencies.  I’ll get back to you once I get a few more sales..

All the best,
Dan

StockXpert Footage Release!

After a loooong wait, StockXpert’s footage section is live!

Check out their prices:

StockXpert is offering 40% comission on all video sales, which is not bad, although Pond5 offers 50% and you can set your own price! Down side to StockXpert footage is that they do not accept clips with audio. Don’t even bother sending them in cause they will be rejected! :(

Still, it’s nice to see another stock footage site on the market. That’s the fourth I know of so far (iStockvideo, Shutterstock Footage, Pond5 and now StockXpert Footage)
