Your Own Microstock Library

For a small monthly investment, owning your own Microstock Library is not a fantasy. In fact you can own your own library within minutes and be up and running within hours and it's free for the next 30 days. Just imagine receiving 100% of the sale value of all the image downloads at the price that you have specified? You can opt to accept images from other photographers with the additional commission from the sale of their images they have uploaded.




Seems like a fantasy? Well it can be very much a reality and it will not cost you an arm and a leg to set up. In fact at the moment if you click on the link below and you will be taken to a specialist website provider. You can register and use the full working website for a period of 30 day at no cost. 30 days free use to enable you to get everything up and running.

The site is available on a low cost monthly subscription with no additional costs. You can catalogue and categorise your images as you wish. Your site will have a search engine facility so your visitors can browse through your images that you have online. There is a ‘News’ page and other features that you can include on your site. You are able to set the prices and sizes of the image downloads and any other items that your wish to sell. You can easily set up the website options to sell prints, mugs and tee shirts etc. Again through the control panel you can accept other photographers and edit, accept or reject their submissions.

Conclusion

To get started with this business you will not necessarily need a vast amount of money but you will need to invest your time, photographic talent and persistence. Persistence to see the whole project through, not just for the next few weeks but months or even years before you see the true value of your work. Of course, whilst you are building your photographic empire you can still submit to the Big Boys and continue giving away 80% of your income. But that 80% that they take is for administration, marketing and promotion.

If you do think that you could set up your own library selling your images whilst you keep 100% of the income then go for it! I can assure you that when you make your first sale through your website that was down to your marketing and promotion, you will feel totally fulfilled. You will need to be fully focussed on your goal throughout. You will need to invest in marketing your site. You may decide to enlist other photographers to submit their photographs to your site. But whatever you decide to do, Microstock Photography is a long term investment of your photography, time and money.
