Fotolia – a new online marketplace of original digital photographs where every image can be monetized. This community driven site allows aspiring photographers and amateurs alike to post and make money from their photographs while maintaining full copy rights. Alternatively, graphic designers and small businesses can obtain royalty free images for web or print use for FREE or purchase them for as low as $1.
A review process determines the sales potential of each image (designers can also post their work) and a ranking system that creates the basis for pricing. The more times an image is purchased the higher the ranking and in turn the opportunity to increase the selling price. Images that do not make the cut are hosted in a free section that will also earn the artists money through an advertising revenue share. These unique features create a social community and profitable marketplace for photographers and designers unlike any other image site available.
Fotolia already has over 100,000 images and is now available at https://www.fotolia.com . Site membership and searching for photos is free, take a look.
