Comments on: PHOTRADE broken again, 5th? time in 2 weeks!! http://www.timsdd.com/photrade-broken-again-5th-time-in-2-weeks/150 Photography, Time-Lapse Video, and more! Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:54:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Leah Cowan http://www.timsdd.com/photrade-broken-again-5th-time-in-2-weeks/150/comment-page-1#comment-572 Leah Cowan Thu, 06 Nov 2008 11:28:42 +0000 http://www.timsdd.com/?p=150#comment-572 Thanks Tim! I appreciate your reply. I will definitely join. I'm not finished sorting through my 100,'s of photo's for my best ones yet, so I will wait, and see if they have an affiliate program by the time I join! You were on the front page at Photrade as the most active member you know, even before their CEO! I do have a couple more questions. Do you get paid from views on your own blog? Also, how do you get around other webmasters not wanting to link to photo's with a watermark? Can I use my own that is smaller, or an embeded watermark that only shows up with a mouse over? Do you mind if I ask what agencies you use? Also, do you use Adobe or Corel for your special effects, HDR, and editing. I have Corel PSP Ultimate and PS Elements 5 with onOne essentials. I like PSP better, as it has more raw functionality, and masks, plus a lot of other things that elements doesn't do, but I'm sure Photoshop, when I can afford it, is the best of both worlds. :-} I'd love to talk more with you, if you can read my email address from your blog. Thanks again! I've saved your blog in my favorites! Leah Thanks Tim! I appreciate your reply. I will definitely join.

They are (when the site is up....which is most of the time) a great tool for photographers to showcase and sell their work. I think they have a big potential in stock photography but have a long way to go before they would be considered a sole alternate to the microstock agencies like istock and shutterstock...whom BTW I can't stand! (the larger companies can be such a PITA to deal with not to mention the compensation is 1/6th of what you could potentially make @ Photrade). I have made a decent size chunk of change with photrade. I have sold several prints and a couple of digital licenses...along with earning from their ad revenue system. They do not have an affiliate program as of yet but I know it has been mentioned for fuuture works. Right now they just need to fix their server and DB issues for sure!!! So to sum up, they are def worth joining but not to the point that I would rely solely on them to generate $ :-D Hi Leah, thanks for the comment and questions.

I love your Macro work on Photrade! I was just looking at them to see what they are all about. I am wanting to get into Microstock, and even have a great domain name, (see my website name - it's not up yet) for my own site. I'm thinking of selling cd's of niche photo's and objects. Anyway, I wanted to know if Photrade is making you anything. They have no info about their pay scale on their site. Do other webmasters use your images? Have you sold anything? If these questions are too personal, you could just give me a general opinion of their performance. If they have an affiliate program, which I didn't see, I will join through your link. THANKS! Leah Hi Tim?
