Microstock Basics

Fantastic article. Thanks!

A simplistic article that doesn't say anything that hasn't been said a thousand times before. To me, pages like this one are nothing but badly camouflaged attempts to get a buck from the referrer links.

p.s. To those considering microstock I would suggest to think about the not-so-philosophical-but-actually-rather-practical question that Bilesh is admittedly avoiding: by contributing to microstock you are contributing to devaluing your own work and that of other photographers. In fact, some macro stock sites may reject you later just because of your participation in microstock (read why).

Let's be a little more honest here - ONE macro stock site, that I'm aware of at least, will reject you if you've used microstock and that's the guys you just linked to.

If you want a debate on whether or not micro is evil there's about a zillion other threads already...

Actually I think it's at least two or three, possibly more.

Firstly As I have written it's article for beginner so why are you expecting the things that you don't know should be in article? By keeping wrong expectations you can't comment like that.

Second thing is that all the photographers are matured enough to take there own decision to join these sites or not, there is no question about devaluing other's work.
