The thumbnail effect on successful sales     posted on 20th of june, 2009

The thumbnail size is a very important factor to consider in your microstock strategy.

If you look at your images at the thumbnail size, compared with all the others on the page, you will guess at once if your image is going to be a good seller.

It stands out? The main subject is easily recognizable? The colors are saturated and bright? Simply answering to yourself those questions may improve a lot your sales.

For more about this topic and other beginners advices on microstock, you can also read my personal blog, that I recently started at: saniphoto.blogspot.com

I often work in Photoshop with the navigator to a thumbnail size. The navigator provides that first impression that a buyer has when looking at thumbnails. A very useful guide... for me anyways!

Thanks for pointing out the importance of the thumbnail!!! Your blog has many helpful hints as well.

you know, this is a very important advice which is less discussed, it's very important also to look at your photo or design if it's on your computer screen for example from a distant before submitting to judge your work better
thanks Saniphoto

I'm a professional photographer with 20 years of experience in photography and four in stock photography.

I Photograph with all kind of cameras (even film cameras occasionally!), but normally I use a Nikon D300 for microstock.

I'm building my digital expertise day after day and I take with enthusiasm the new challenges and the opportunities that internet has brought to us.

I want to thank you for visiting my portfolio and hope you'll came back often to check my new work and evolution as stock photographer. You can also read my blog about microstock whose link is: saniphoto.blogspot.com
