The biggest mistake most microstock photographers do is to first take lot’s of images and then hope and pray someone will buy them.
BIG mistake.
It’s like carpet bombing the stock agencies with images and hope some of them will hit the target. I call this the B52 tactic for obvious reasons.
Imagine instead a F15 Hornet take aim on the target, then release the laser guided missile and a few seconds later the competition is annihilated.
That’s what I want you to do, first identify a well defined target with laser precision, take images for that target and sell the crap out of your competitors.
A secret weapon I use to find such a market with hungry buyers is to simply spy on the photo editors. It’s a sneaky but brilliant and perfectly legal.
But more about that in a future post (coming in the next couple of days).
