LookStat – Official Blog

We got a nice mention on the Veer Marketplace.

The mix also included folks like Rahul Pathak of LookStat – part of a growing cadre of talented indviduals and companies who are developing innovative third party tools for microstock contributors.

Thanks for the shout out Brian. We’re grateful to be part of the microstock community and excited about the launch of Veer Marketplace. I hope you have a great 2009.

We have been busy adding support for iStock extended license sales and also for shutterstock footage sales. These changes should be live in the system very soon.

I realize we should probably have done this from the start. We are now @LookStat on Twitter. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Happy Tweeting.

Rasmus Rasmussen has a nice mention on his blog about LookStat. For those of who don’t know, Rasmus is a long-time (and very successful) iStockphoto contributor and has been an image inspector for them for a while as well. He knows a ton about microstock and I highly recommend his blog to all those interested in it. Also, if you’re a contributor, his Microstock Photographer’s Guide is tremendous!

Sign up for LookStat, if you submit to more than one microstock agency. It’s a service that lets you compare sales stats from several sites, so you can see how you’re doing where. It’s easy to lose track, when you’ve got stuff all over the web, so this can really help grow your business. As an exclusive to iStockphoto, the very existence of LookStat somehow eluded me until now. I’m happy to say, that is no longer the case.

We’re flattered to be mentioned on his blog. Thanks Rasmus!

Lee and the organizers of UGCX have done an amazing job. The conference has been fantastic and it was amazing to see so many key players in our industry in one place. I feel fortunate to have been part of it and loved meeting so many amazing people. I also got to bump into a few of our users which is always a blast. I’ll be writing more about this soon but I just wanted to get something down about it quickly.

Terrific sessions, amazing people. It’s going to be a really fun year in microstock (and traditional stock as well.)

We just released a new feature that allows you to view thumbnails of all the images that sold over a particular time period, from all the microstock sites we support. You get to the feature by clicking on the ‘Earnings’ link on the Dashboard above the Top Earners thumbnail strip.

You can filter the list by site and you can click on any image to get that image’s sales history. It’s a simple addictive feature and we hope you enjoy using it. Feedback, as always is welcome.

(Also, we hear you loud and clear re: getting more sites into the system. Fotolia is coming soon!)
