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.)
For those of you who are attending UGCX in San Jose on Feb 9, a bunch of folks are getting together at 6pm on Monday to connect and talk microstock. If you’re at the conference, please stop by – I’d love to meet in person. You can find more details on this thread at the Microstock Group forum.
When: Monday Feb 9 – 6pm
Where: San Jose Convention Center Marriott (next to the convention center where UGCX is being held.)
Hope to see you all there.
PS: We are working hard on a cool new feature and we are very close to having it done. Stay tuned!
Since I’m lucky enough to be speaking at the User Generated Content Conference (Feb 9-10 in San Jose, CA) I’ve been given a discount code which gets you 15% off when you register for the full expo pass which is about $350. They also have 1-day and expo only passes.
To get the discount, use the following code when you register: SPKRUXRP
If anyone attending is a current or prospective LookStat user, please let me know – it would be great to meet in person. I’d be happy to buy you a drink and chat microstock.
Also, if you’re in the area, an expo pass is free if you register before Jan 28.
I’ll be attending UGCX (User Generated Content) Conference in San Jose (Feb 9 & 10) and will be on a panel called “Servicing the Crowd: Business Opportunities around UGC.” I’m really excited to be there and I’d love to meet any and all microstockers who will be attending.
