Huge iSyndica Updates


So there has been a huge number of updates at iSyndica. First off they have added Zymmetrical to the many list of accounts that you can track and upload using their website. For those that don't know iStyndica is a service that allows you to upload to many stock photography sites via one location. Depending on how much you upload depends on if you want to use their free account or pay to upgrade to the higher class accounts. There tracking of sales is a wonderful tool and does not cost you anything, you might want to check it out.

Part two of the iSyndica update is a new feature allowing users to advertise their newly uploaded images to sites like twitter, facebook, flicker, etc. iSyndica continues to become a full access platform for all your stock photography needs. Below is the right up straight from the horses mouth so to speak.


Part ONE:

We are happy to let you know sales reporting for Zymmetrical is now available on your iSyndica account. Data has now been loaded up and any sales you made is now visible on your Analytics Dashboard.

As you know, Zymmetrical offers a (outstanding!) 70% commission on all sales. This rate is used to report your commissions only on your iSyndica dashboard.

Our thanks to the folks at Zymmetrical for their help making this possible.

Part TWO:
We are very excited to announce the release of our newest feature. Take advantage of social media to promote your work with "Promotion". It's available for photos, videos and illustrations. Click here to start using it.

What exactly is Promotion? Jumpstart your social media activity! Promotion gives you the ability to distribute your images and videos to popular media-sharing and social sites such as Flickr, Facebook, Twitter & YouTube. 3 elements make this feature great:
  1. EASY: Distribute your images to these sites with just one Icon"
  2. SAFE: We watermark your images automatically. You don't run the risk of getting your images stolen
  3. FREE: For photos and illustrations; 2 credits only for videos
How does it work? Configuring "promotion" is done the same way as regular sites. Go to the channel tab in iSyndica, select a site and enter your information.

Twitter: You can distribute photos and videos to Twitter through TwitVid, TwitPic and YFrog. If you have a Twitter account, simply use your Twitter username and password to configure those sites.

    What do you think of iSyndica? Are you able to select the right categories for each website before submitting?

    I like the reporting the best, its a great snap shot of all the companies in one spot. How ever not all my stock sites are on their system, so I have not subscribed for the month fee. They give you 100 credits for free each month, one upload is one credit per site. As far as categories they only upload to all your selected websites in one click, you still have to log in to each site to add categories and hit submit. I have a feeling this is done that way because each site has their own categories. So really the time it saves you is what you spend on an FTP program uploading 10 or so images to each site instead of 10 image to all sites with a click of a button. But like I said, the sales tracking feature is nice and its free.

    Hugo,
    I am not sure it is worth it for them to add those agencies as they are small guys in the scheme of things. iSyndica, does have all the major players, besides ShutterStock due to their security. The sites I am a member of that iSyndica does not have are as follows: Alamy, Image Catalog, Moodboard, OurStockWorks, The3DStudio, ThePhotoStorage. Links to each of these site are on my website and also on the left of this blog.

    Sense you work for iSyndica I just wanted to let you know that you guys are doing great. Also as a blogger you might or might not have known that MostPhoto's have changed their logo...figured I would pass that on.

Cutcaster Overhaul

Image
Cutcaster has never looked more like a professional stock site then they do now.  Over the holidays Cutcaster rolled out a massive update to the site.  If you have not been there in a while you will be shocked with its new look and color scheme.  First up the site is much faster and a lot easier to read.  They have still have the bid option on buying images, but have also expanded with subscription sales and pay per use.  As far as contributors go you will be happy to see that they have reorganized the upload page, your personal profile and basically everything else.  The best part is everything makes sense and is easy to find.  Hopefully this drastic improvement will lead to stronger site viewership and sales.  Great job to the Cutcaster team.
