StockFresh

Filed in NiltoMil News , The Microstock World 4 comments

From the creators of StockXpert comes their new venture: Stockfresh (affiliate link for buyers only – no contributor affiliate links).

Lee at MicrostockDiaries has already done a complete write up on StockFresh so I’m not going to replicate that work.  What I want to talk about is the idea of the guys at SXP selling then shortly after restarting.  My question is this – my SXP work has been all for naught.  My gallery is one of those that hasn’t been transferred to ThinkStock yet (partially has but we’re talking 300 out of 3500).

We know the owners of StockFresh took a buyout the first time.  What about StockFresh?  Will you be contributing?  Are you both excited AND worried?  Excited that two great people are back doing the business we like them doing?  Or are you scared you’ll spend hours uploading and won’t see long term results because Getty will buy them, get the new content, sell it for .10 subs and basically take us…again?

So what are your thoughts on StockFresh?  As you know I’m not afraid to speak what I think – I am cautiously optimistic in this case.  Of course I hope for another revenue source.  Of course I hope my time isn’t wasted here.  But they can’t succeed without our participation and they can fail even if we give it.  So what are you planning to do?

#2 Rob :

I´m going to wait and see. I´m tried of uploading to different sites that don´t have much action. I think that the only reason they started another site is for the chance to sell it. They they were really interested in running a micro stock site, they had a very good one.

I’ve applied for an account, but that’s only so I can write a review of it (plus its the only real way to find out if you will earn anything), if that were not the case I’d probably wait a while and see what happens – Or at least get to see how easy uploads are then make the decision.

I think cautiously optimistic is what I would say as well, but one thing is for sure its not going to suddenly become the next istock, the best it can manage is sitting on 5 or 6 place like SXP once did(?)

SXP I think was lucky for me, still a little coming in from Thinkstock, nothing like there once was tho – does at least mean a break even on upload time

#4 Reality Check :

These two very talented entrepreneurs are looking to build StockFresh so that they can sell it for a bundle of money. Good luck to them, I admire their success and energy.

Just don’t expect that they somehow care about your microstock earnings or your images. How do I know this? Well they have done it all before with SXP!
