Just a couple weeks after the end of the year, MicroStockGroup is officially opening their 9th Annual Independent Microstock Survey 2016, collecting sales and portfolio stats from microstock contributors all over the world.
The more photographers participate with their anonymous data, the more complete and comprehensive the results will be. And so it's very important that you take part in the survey, regardless of how much you sell, how big your portfolio is, or how much time and resources you commit to your microstock business.
The last survey for 2015/2016 was launched last May, and its final results and conclusions will be published this February.
Independent Microstock Survey 2016
The survey for 2016 microstock performance is open, and you can take part in it here. It will only take you 5-10 minutes to complete it, and all the info you submit is completely anonymous.
