Why Should I Join The Stock Media Network? StockMedia.net
offers more benefits and value to creators then anyone
else.
Content
providers receive 60% of gross licensing fees for
pay-per-viewer (rights protected) uses and 50% of gross fees
for royalty-free sales and useges of redesigned content.
Gross fees are the a received and retained by Stock Media.
So, that excludes things like credit card fees, refunds for
"returns" and money spent to enforce payment, such as
attorneys fees. (Exceptionally, Early adopters receive 65%
(rights protected) and 60% (royalty free) and 50%
(redesigns) respectively). No.
All content must be in digital form. Photos can be submitted
in any format (TIFF, JPEG, PICT, PCD, etc.) via most media
(directly on the Internet, on CD or Zip). See
Submission
Guidelines All
must must be fully captioned and keyworded and delivered in
digital form, either as an ASCI text file, in the photo
header (file info), or in Keyword
Compiler software
template that StockMedia.net provides you free of charge. We
can suggest third party companies to do your keywording if
you desire. There
is a one dollar (US$1.00) per content submission fee and a
one dollar per content removal fee if removal is at the
request of the content provider. (Exceptionally for early
adopters, submission fees are waived for the first 5,000
content or until December 31, 2001. Removal fees are waived
for all content purged through December 31, 2001.) Stock
Media agreements are non-exclusive with no time limit. Our
job is to give you value. If we do not live up to your
expectations, suppliers may remove their content at any
time. (Again, Stock Media will waive the $1 per content
withdrawal fee for early adopters through the year 2001,
making this a nearly risk free proposition.) One
huge advantage of StockMedia.net is that we accept low-res
scans. This means that scans done for print catalogs are
acceptable. Any size scan from 1.4 meg and up is acceptable.
All images will be converted to a 72 dpi file that is 1,024
pixels on the longest side (about 2 meg).See

A
little. Probably only 1%-2% of your current income is from
digital uses of your content - our target market. We are
referring all print sales back to you. The amount you gain
from print sales referrals will likely exceed what you
"loose" in digital sales. StockMedia.net prices are fixed
and predictable so you can easily compare benefits.
StockMedia.net
will offer a broad range of content for many possible uses.
Prices will vary depending on the web site or niche market.
Royalty-free photos will sell for $30 to $130 per use..
Pay-per-viewer use will range from $50 to thousands and
likely average $280 per digital use. StockMedia.net will be
more expensive than most competitors at each level because
we will deliver more value to end-users.
If
you authorize StockMedia.net to change or redesign or
repurpose your content to make it saleable in new, emerging
markets that other companies are not targeting, we will make
design changes to increase your sales. Once each new market
is opened, you can redesign content yourself and submit it
directly for sale to that niche.
StockMedia.net
is all about marketing. Using its unique affiliate program,
direct mail CD catalogs to targeted niche markets, trade
shows, online advertising, and exposure through suppliers
themselves, StockMedia.net will market your content to
various web communities. Content
can be each individual photo, DV sequence, illustration,
artwork, text, movie, song, or other intellectual property
of any kind. A
lot. More than with any other company. You edit, keyword,
caption and scan content for ultimate creative control. You
choose whether to license or sell your work on a
piece-by-piece basis. You choose which niche markets to
target. You can authorize micro transactions and limit
country of distribution. And, you can change authorizations
online on a content by content basis. Hosting clients can
enven control pricing and licensing variables.
Yes.
One of the many added values that Stock Media provides is
market research. Sales information for your content is
transparent. You can see your sales figures anytime online
and see how they relate to total figures. You can compare,
for example, your average sales price to the aggregated
average.
To
be competitive with the largest stock agencies, Stock Media
will offer bulk discounts to clients who sign guarantees to
make lots of purchases in a give time span. We define "lots"
as over $100,000 per year. Besides
providing quality content, at least 500 pieces of content to
start, all suppliers must be able to professionally service
the sales leads provided to you for print sales. Suppliers
must have (or outsource) adequate staff to provide 9 to 5
support each weekday or a fully automated ecommerce delivery
system. StockMedia.net hosting services can provide such an
automated system. Or, we can recommend stock agencies to you
to provide these valuable support services.
No.
All agreements are non-exclusive.
No,
all digital files (text and images) are deleted ultimately.
No content is returned. So keep copies of your digital
submissions. |
