    Pixmac pictures

    Pixmac pays up to $500 per 500 images submitted!

    From their site:

    Pixmac is starting a unique promotion – offering all contributors an opportunity to get money for their pictures even before they’re sold.

    From 1st February 2009, all contributors who upload their pictures on Pixmac will get a $500 sales guarantee for 2 years for every 500 approved pictures. If you want to get the cash immediately, you can choose the option to get $100 for every 500 approved pictures – before having had any sales. Portfolios preferred include high quality pictures with people or isolated objects on a white background. This unique opportunity lasts until 28th February 2009.

    Detailed conditions

    The contributor can choose from 2 options.

    First

    $500 sales guarantee for 2 years for every 500 pictures uploaded and approved on Pixmac. This means that in 2 years Pixmac will give you $500 even if your sales are 0.

    Second

    $100 for every 500 pictures uploaded and approved on Pixmac immediately after the 500th picture is approved. This will be an advance payment on the first $100 earned on those pictures. Pixmac accepts the risk of selling these pictures and in the event that no sales are made, the contributor will retain the money.

    Please remember to switch-off autokeywording for the pictures!
    All pictures sent for approval must be keyworded by the contributor. Pictures uploaded as part of this promotion are not eligible for free keywording.

    One last thing. If you are uploading these days, the process will propably take longer time to publish your pictures on Pixmac. We are making our best, but the number of pictures uploaded is high.

    DNF-Style.com is the web site of Frenk and Danielle Kaufmann, both photographers and both models, also I must say Danielle looks better! Or as they describe themselves: “2 photographers, two styles, one name.”

    Danielle’s interest in the photography has started as an offspring of her successful career as a model, enabling her to put this experience to good use on the other site of the camera, especially when directing and encouraging the models she works with.

    Frenk’s interest started in the 1980s with the photograph club of his school. He also specialized later in “dramatic expression” and uses this knowledge to direct models and to develop unusual concepts.

    2005 they encountered each other and decided to form a partnership, both in life and in photography, under the name of DNF-Style.

    The team DNF-Style has studios both in Maastricht (Netherlands) and Lanaken (Belgium) but will consider to work everywhere, provided the travel expenses have been paid, as they are equipped for both studio as location work.

    Their style can be described and covers all imaginable subjects from everything and everyone, of young to old, of family to loner, of portrait to naked, from studio to event, but also: companies reportages, products, weddings and parties, interior and exterieur, etc. etc.

    Qassia

    free dofollow backlinks+adsense income = Qassia

    This could be the easy formula to describe this new concept of a crowd sourcing content concept. In a nutshell: You sign up, add your sites that you want to get backlinks for to your account (for free!) and start participating at the site by writing short articles (called intels) and screening other people articles. The more Qassia$ you accumulate through this, the better placed are the backlinks you get back to your chosen site(s). An additional bonus is that you can participate in their google adsense revenue program and start to see the first clicks almost instantly. As this money is going directly to your google account there is no minimum pay-out at Qassia to wait for, it just adds up with the rest of your adsense income. For whom is Qassia? I would say for everybody that looks for new, creative ways to promote their web sites, loves to write short, informative pieces and doesn’t mind to earn the extra $.

    Photographic Freedom – the first international microstock forum just re-gained its PR3 back ;-) We had to remove some time ago the sitemap and google didn’t like that ;-( Lesson learned: Protect your site map with your life!

    We also converted to be a Adsense and YPN Revenue Sharing Forum, means that members can now benefit from the ads running on the forum. More news to come soon, SY

    So Lucky Oliver is closing down, another microstock site bites the dust ;-(

    In case you are one of many, many people that are dreaming to open up their one microstock sites, do us all a favour and don’t commit the following mistakes:

    Accept every image submitted just to get images, buyers are not attracted by crap.

    Fight key word spamming/ bad key wording from the beginning, buyers want to find their dream image fast and not wade through tons of images that have nothing at all to do with their search.

    Make your site slick and fast loading, time is money, especially on the internet.

    Keep your site on line at all cost, a site that is down one time, is one time too often down, the buyer will never come back.

    Keeping your artists happy is fine, but they are the happiest if they have sales. So make the buyer’s happiness your utmost priority and everything else follows.

    Market your site, this is why we the contributors give you a share in our commissions, not for image hosting without results=sales. For this we can use flickr and the like.

    Have a nice day, and in case you want still to start your own microstock site / project don’t hesitate to contact me I am available for consultancy, alpha and beta-testing for new microstock venues ;-) Have a nice day, SY

    Oh, and btw bnpsworldwide closed also earlier this month, who is next?
