What is stock?
Stock service is a database that contains work from various fields: photography, graphics and other useful on the advertising market. Such a service allows the purchase of photos by every customer, and as we know, photography or image is a universal form, understandable to everyone, which is why the sales market is assumed to be very large, not to say huge. If people buy photos on stock services, it means that someone has to put them there first, photographers from all over the world do it
​
From the photographer's point of view, everything is simple, we register the account, Before we start selling, we still need to send the ID card scan page for verification and upload some of the best samples of their work or add links to their portfolio on the internet so that moderators can check their level.
When we start selling it under a normal license for one photo, we get from 0.22 to 0.35 USD, then the lowest guaranteed prices for a photo, if we take a good photo it can be bought by several hundred or several thousand people from around the world, it will give us a profit from tens to several thousand USD. In the case of selling photos with wider licenses allowing, for example, for resale, we can earn from 8.80 to 10.40 USD per photo, is it worth it? If we break through with our photos, yes.

is a leading agency on the microstock market, I deduce this from both the popularity of this photo bank among photographers and the income it generates. In my opinion, this is not a very demanding photo bank when it comes to the quality of photos, technically correctly photos are the basis everywhere, they accept photos from 3 MP resolution. You can also sell vector files, but you cannot sell videos.
How much can you earn?
pays photographers a 50% to 80% commission on the photo they sell.

Price list for photos
If you would like to buy photos in then you have the option of subscription or credits. The subscription allows you to purchase a large number of photos cheaper, while the loans operate in the pay per download option. The cheapest subscription costs around $ 130 and allows you to get a price of $ 0.43 for photos. If you decide on loans, the cheapest package of these means of payment costs $ 7, which allows you to buy 5 photos for $ 1.40.

​
licenses
offers a standard Royalty Free license and 5 types of extended license. A characteristic feature of this image bank is the multitude of sales licenses offered (Royalty and Extended Licenses: Unlimited Seats, Increase Max Copies, Web Usage, Print Usage, Sell the Rights), as we can see the photo can also be sold with their rights, prices such photos are set individually and start from just $ 350.
One of the weaker agencies that has high ambitions to conquer the microstock market. Waiting time for photos to be accepted as normal. A big plus is IMHO, the prettiest and most intuitive website of all the presented stocks, together with a very clear and convenient photo publication creator.
tip: Crestock often rejects photos due to lack of focus, so I advise you to skim carefully.
