A marketplace for professional photographers to 100% royalty for their images

in #blockchain6 years ago

Thanks to the internet & technology, the demand for high-quality images is growing rapidly at a constant rate. Not only professional photographers but also amateurs have a lot of opportunities to make money from their images. It is not necessary that they should take photos of only real people or objects. They can easily create exceptional images using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or another kind of software.

People are searching for images on various topics like food, art, technology and more. Some niches will always have a demand. For example, if you create a high-quality image related to food, then it is more likely to sell faster when compared with images on other niches.

How to make money by selling your images? These days, there are a lot of stock photography sites like Shutterstock, iStockPhoto, Freepik etc. which acts as a middleman between the photographers and the buyers. There is no doubt that these kind of sites are helping the newbie photographers to sell their work quickly. But, there are some drawbacks which are given below:

  1. High commission rates - They take too much of commission so that creators will get only a little money for their hard work. For example, if you are selling your image through Shutterstock, you will be credited only 10-20% of the total amount, and the remaining will go to their pockets. Of course, they cannot provide the service for free, but they should make sure that the creators are treated in a fair manner.

  2. Lack of transparency – The pricing for the images are fixed by the stock photography sites and not the photographers. Because of that, the photographers are not getting a decent remuneration for their hard work. Also, the creators will not get any information about who has the license to their images.

Do you think you will start making money as soon as you list your image on the stock photography sites? No. You have to add the related keywords for the image so that it appears on the results when someone is searching for images. And, you will get paid only if someone downloads your photo. There is no guarantee that it will happen every day or week. In a nutshell, this kind of stock photography sites does not offer great rewards to the professional photographers.

But, Wemark is different as its only objective to give more freedom to the photographers so that they receive the amount what they deserve. That’s why it gives the responsibility of fixing the price to the photographers themselves. In this way, the photographers can fix high prices for their best images.

Wemark also enables the photographers to get a maximum royalty for their images from 85 to 100%. As there is no middleman, the customers can directly communicate with the professional photographers. This will help the photographers to sell more images if they are able to establish a good rapport with the customers. Simply, Wemark platform will help the professional photographers to get the real reward for their work.

Awesome article, I love how every industry is implementing blockchain. I personally hate to see photographers work for an organization and not get a fair share of their work. Great share @arthurwatson
