116 MacDirectory CLOSER LOOK A FOCUS ON FOTOLIA > TAKE YOUR MICROSTOCK EXPERIENCE FURTHER A lot has changed in the microstock industry since it took flight nearly 10 years ago. Talented artists and photographers have the potential to earn sizeable commissions, in addition to industry recognition. Buyers, on the other hand, have the option of shopping around a competitive market. Fotolia is a microstock company that balances both interests. Content: More than 7,000,000 images Fotolia's library includes high-resolution photographs, vectors, illustrations, and HD videos from around the world. Fotolia attracts high-quality content by paying contributors some of the highest commissions in the business (between 30 and 60 percent). Contributing artists maximize their earning potential by deciding if they want to be exclusive, partially exclusive, or non-exclusive. Images for a $1, really means images start at $1 Buyers love Fotolia for the value it offers – images are affordable and of high quality. Each image on the site has a credit value depending on the size, resolution, etc. Unlike other sites, where you have to purchase in excess of 300 credits to get images for $1, Fotolia's credits always start at $1. Customize the way you buy Need a little or a lot? Either way, clients come first with Fotolia's flexible credit and subscription purchase plans. Recently, the company introduced a new subscription plan that made high-resolution images, vectors, and videos even more accessible. The Premium Subscription Plan gives members all-inclusive access to Fotolia's main collection for as low as $249/month. Account holders can tailor the plan to their needs by customizing the number of users, downloads, and contract length. Images for life with royalty-free downloads To top things off, Fotolia empowers consumers with purchase confidence by redefining what royalty-free means to the consumer. Fotolia images come with a standard license and most have the option of upgrading to an extended license. Plus, only Fotolia offers no run limits. This means, you can use an image where you need, for as long as you need, with as many copies as you need.
