Microstock Photography

This might be some very valuable expertise to have practiced if you find yourself in the midst of a creative project where the ampltidue of return on a series of images can be communicated in a quick visual array. Story boarding is a marketabke skill that can be used when pitching a movie or working with producer to edit scenes and conduct meetings when story content and scene shooting is at issue or in the planning stages.

So, you have a digital photo gallery of great optimized photo files with enhancements and resolutions per the microstock standards. But your product isn’t moving. What are your online options? Internet Marketing for Microstock Photographers involved some startegic thinking and a specialized approach to YOUR individual talents and skills. Don’t follow the model from someone else’s career. Use what works for you.

On one of the many domain boards where I do business with domain name owners, I saw a thread where a desperate website owner had shouted out for a .jpg image of a particular thing. Not for this website owner the endless browsing of thousands of images with generously allowed keyword usage. Is there a site online where photographer an link to their own online micro stock picture image galleries where their files can be vended for sale?

In tennis it’s considered a good thing to play with someone better than you, because it increases your focus and challenges you to bring up the skill level of your game. If you think you don’t benefit from reviewing the output of other photographer’s, I’d advise you to bring that lens around 180 degress. Not only do you see the finished result in its highly polished final form, but you can instantly see congruent images in your own portfolio in your mind’s eye that might trasnition to similar, more marketable image files.

I followed up looking at available images for a city name website. Nada!!!! Considering how choosy the Microstock photo sites are I should NOT have been disappointed to see there were no image results for the city name I plugged into the search box. If the rejection volume is what I think it is, this is a real flaw in the image acceptance policy. Shouldn’t I be the one to determine if the shots are good enough for me to consider?
