Pixmac pays for uploading

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.

What I am doing at the moment

Just updated my new lens on chartity on Squidoo, you can read it here: http://www.squidoo.com/webcharity and also started two new blogs http://microstock.today.com/ and http://prague.today.com/ I am seriously considering to devote more time to blogging and mini sites and to take a break from microstock. Something about not to put all eggs in one basket… I also need to come up with a working plan for next year, got kind of lazy lately ;-( SY

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 $.
