TOPIC: Sending buyers to your images

Sending buyers to your images 5 years, 6 months ago #265

HI. One friend gave me good idea so I made something new. Here you can see what I mean.

Idea is to make database with informations about your images and stock agencies. With PHP or other scripting language you can make database queries and generate links to your images on all stock agencies where you have images. Is there any PHP programmer who is interested for cooperation on this project Smile. This is good because buyer can see all prices on all all stock agencies. Then he can decide which one to choose. Also you can add info about stock agencies (like I did) so buyer can read all infos about agencies and decide.

If your image is not listed on agency simple add N/A.

Link I posted is made manually but I hope soon will be done automatically.

All comments are welcome.

Why would you want to drive customers to the lowest paying site.

Surely if they find your website and like you photo, send them to the place you make the most money. ????

That is Featurepics. They give you 70% from price you set.
Another idea is to include info about my part (in %).

I have treid similar thing in the past and never found much success with it. You have to able to get your own traffic to sell your images, when people seem more likely to find the agency first.

The one reason to list multiple destinations is that people may have and account at Dreamstime and not at others, so they are more likely to buy you images there (because they already have credit and therefore perceptually it doesn't cost "anything more"). However, the drawback to this is that you don't earn any referral money sending people to sites they already joined.

So maybe send everyone to Featurepics....

It seems cheap but is it payable to sell your own photos?
Does anyone here use it?

Yes I use it on www.getstock.net . It is really just an article I wrote for this site and a trial site to show people that it is possible to setup and run yourself. I haven't customized much, but I am waiting patiently for their new version. I will se if I want to pursue more then.
