STEP #6: Select one (1) agency

OK, so next episode in this Microstock Photography Tutorial.

You need to keep things simple so start with only one agency in the beginning to avoid being overwhelmed by different requirements and submission guidelines.

You can and absolutely should scale to many more agencies after a while but more about that later.

Based on the notes you took in step #5 you now need to make your second strategic decision.

High commission is obviously good
High #visitors per months is good
Requirements on exclusive rights is NOT good unless they pay a huge commission
It’s good if the agencies style and markets they target is a good match with your style

You must now decide which stock agency to “attack” and soon we come to the fun part
