Ycademy Seminar August 2010

How to sell your Photos, Videos and other Media online

This month’s Ycademy Seminar will take place on August 28-29, 2010 and focus on:

Creating, Organizing and Selling Stock Photo, Video, Audio, Flash, Vector illustration, Zip, Pdf files, Prints and other media.

Over the last few months we have been working on and with media content using Photoshop, After Effects, Flash, our personal or web camera, Camtasia and more. All these tools enable us to create and to edit media for our own purpose or for the benefit of our customers and beyond, to satisfy the growing need by developers and designers for properly licensed media.

When it comes to selling media, there are multiple choices: either through a personal shop, or through a third party stock media website, or through our own stock media portal.

1. Your own stock site: you are in absolute control but you have the work and cost inherent to managing and maintaining the site.

2. Third party Stock sites: you have no work besides uploading your media, but you give up up-to 80% of your commissions to the site admin.

3. Our own Stock Photo and Media Portal: we share cost, work, marketing and maximise the commissions (target 90%).
Ycademy Venture: Stock Media Portal

Seminar participants are invited to join forces to build together an exclusive Sock Media venture as per 3 above. Terms and conditions will be detailed in a pre-seminar call. The model is based on the assumption that after a while the site will be able to generate enough revenue to cover namely the hosting cost; therefore no financial input is necessary by those joining the venture at the seminar.
