Understanding Microstock in a Mature Industry

Everyone lately seems to be talking about dropping RPIs and the increased efforts to be a successful microstock photographer. Well I recently put together this presentation for StockInRussia microstock conference (It was a fantastic event, if you weren’t there, you really missed out), so I thought I’d screencast it (ended up with a full 90 minute talk) and bring it to the web for all you lovely people

In this 4-part presentation I talk about the shape of the microstock industry now it’s matured, how to develop your portfolio to stay competitive and even to improve sales, some topics to shoot (harvested from picNiche data) and my view on how the microstock industry (and stock photography in general) is developing in future.

It’s a full 90 minutes so you might want to take a bio-break, make a coffee and a cheese sandwich before you start

Do you agree? disagree? Why?

I plan to have more tutorial videos and guides coming soon too, so if you want to keep upto date, subscribe to the picWorkflow/picNiche You Tube channel.
