The CarlssonInc. Stock Imagery Production website is based on the fantastic services of Photoshelter. Although currently my website is being updated and it is quite sparse when it comes to content, the Photoshelter interface and service is absolutely first class.
The stock industry is evolving rapidly at the moment, one general trend is the importance to be "your own" stock library/agent - something that is becoming more and more important to succeed.
With Photoshelter I'm able to display my images more or less in any way I'd like, handle on-line sales, high resolution file distribution, SEO and much much more. It's a great way to attract new clients, show my work professionally, and do business with clients on-line.
In my business plan this "do it yourself" licensing/distribution will become a much bigger part of my business. Number one reason being that I rather keep 90% of the value of a sale than 20%. The lower commission will hopefully (and should) make up for the lower volume of sales that naturally comes with doing it on your own. A second reason is that I'm also in control of pricing. Controlling pricing means that I can be much more flexible i.e. demand high prices where I feel it is deserved, as well as more "economic" pricing where I think it is ok.
Anyway, if anything of the above is something you've been thinking about for your own purposes or business, then you should definitely check it out. I'm positive that it might be a great fit for you too!
You can use the link below to save some money on sign-up, and yes there is a little something in it for me to (an account credit), but that is not why I'm doing it. Photoshelter really is a great product that I use myself and that I'm happy to recommend.
