New Homepage and New Services for Photographers
Posted on September 16th, 2009 in General, lookstat, microstock, screenshots | 12 Comments »
We have been hard at work and a little too quiet (ok… way too quiet) about what we’ve been up to, but we’re finally ready to start talking about the features and services we have been developing. We just rolled out an update to our home page to reflect a new set of services that we have been providing to busy stock photographers for the past few months.
You Create the Images – We Do the Rest
We are now offering a full menu of Back Office services for stock photographers – keywording, uploading, submission & MR management – for a flat fee per image. Photographers are free to pick and choose whichever services they need, from the full package to selective elements based on their own workflow and requirements.
We have been providing these services for several months now to a core group of customers but are excited to open them up to a broader audience.
Why Offer These Services?
We believe that the workload associated with activities that aren’t directly tied to creating great images continues to go up and that this isn’t a great use of a creative individual’s time.
We’re committed to reducing friction and making life better for photographers and our goal with our Back Office services is to allow photographers to focus on doing what they do best, which is creating great images. We provide a flexible, cost-effective way to take care of the rest.
What About Analytics?
New feature development on analytics had taken a back seat to getting our services offering built out but we have added to our team and are back to active development on that feature. We will be announcing some enhancements to analytics in the next couple of weeks. We’re really excited about what’s coming and we hope you will be as well.
As always, feedback and questions are welcome. If you’re interested in learning more about our Back Office services, please contact us and we’ll get in touch right away.

No yet right? Looks pretty interesting
nice work!
Will the services be limited to the agencies you offer analytics for? Will I still have to submit my images to say Canstock? I've never really thought about this before but depending on price, we may think about it.
Hi Matt,
We are not limited in any way in terms of where we can send images. Happy to chat directly about sites/prices offline.

Congrats, the back office solution is a pretty interesting way to solve a lot of problems that photographers face with submitting images. I'm betting many will be curious about pricing…
