Sockxpert.com - Stock Images. Yours?

[RTK]

These sites are a dime a dozen...

The only one that makes any real money is the person that runs the site = a penny here, and a penny there, adds up to real money.

1 credit = $1 = 1 download. (or $3 for one download = equally pathetic.) You have to sell your image 50 times (on the worst scenario) to see a single penny. Sell it 46 times and you don't see a single cent (unless of course you buy your own image yourself 4 times... ) Collect your money at $50 but sell only another 40 (those 40 sales generates nothing for you).

Browse around the site and find similar works to yours and see how many downloads they have, to see what kind of return you might expect (on the best possible scenario). Have a look yourself...

As mentioned before - if you make nothing now, why not make nothing at a site like this + plus have your image perhaps generate a few downloads (and a few bucks) for the owner of the site? Remember - you have to sell $50 worth to get any rewards.

The business model here is volume for the people that run the site - nothing more. Check back in a year everyone that signed up, and give us a tally... Also, take "testimonials" with a huge "nip" of salt... Buy any ebook on web promotion to see how to use it...

Had this thread been started by a new member - it would have been deleted together with the other 20 of these "offers" already.

This thread also has nothing to with Xara products - I'm moving the thread.

In general, Talkgraphics is for member to discuss what they see fit - it's not free ad space for web developers to promote their services and products = Steve, any futher posts here by you will be deleted - or the whole thread will go.

Again, this forum is for graphics interested members - not for free ad space for web developers.

Everyone else - feel free to discuss!
