Can This New Stock Agency Make the Cut?

May 19, 2008 · 1 Comment

Trolling around the web earlier today, I came across another fairly new microstock. It’s called Cutcaster. Cutcaster offers royalty free images, stock photos, stock footage and stock photography for advertising, publishing or web design.

It’s nice to see diversity of the stock footage offering right off the bat. The new microstock bills itself as the first dynamic photo and video marketplace. Anyone can buy, sell or request digital images, vectors, stock footage and stock photos from the Cutcaster community.

Stock Photos Surprise of the Month

May 12, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The stock surprise for me me this month so far has been Stockxpert.com. I started there just a little while back, and while the small portfolio did lay there limp for awhile, now images are being found and sales are picking up. With a portfolio of about 60, I now see sales almost daily, and even more surprising, even see some nice sales on weekends.

Application process is not too bad, Upload is fairly intuitive. My acceptance rate there is good for both photos and illustrations. The Stockxpert.com site has some community networking things going on, but overall is pretty businesslike and doesn’t have the childlike fan club games going on. The focus is on users – clean, quick, and simple.

I still haven’t applied for their referral program yet. It is a bit more complex than the other micros, but eventually, I guess I’ll get around to it.
