in Photrade Makes Photography Contests Easy on Social Media Explorer
I've never really "gotten into" OPC' s (online photo contests) but with the advent of Photrade's new system I'd be dumb not to participate!
Of course what I did not realize (until after the fact) that the contest widget you can use to promote your entries, anyone can vote,not just Photrade members...yeah, I'm a dork!

The good news is that now you know. There's something to be said for being able to do it better next time!

in Photrade: A photography sharing, licensing and syndication service without a compelling value proposition on Unstructured Thoughts
I disagree with the "Negative selection bias" section. Photrade is another (valuable) tool for a photographer to showcase & protect their work.
Why deal with the elitist microstock agencies (istock, shutterstock) and work for 20-30% when Photrade can get me 80% of my $tock licenses?
Case in point, I have 25 downloads @ istock for $25 (good luck for me seeing the $100 payout by the end of this year). Whereas @ Photrade I've sold 2 rights for ~ $60
2 for $60 >>> 25 for $25

Microstock agencies like istockphoto and shutterstock are hardly elitist. There are a huge variety of higher-end, traditional stock agencies that have far more restrictive photographer and image acceptance guidelines. And btw, even they pay far more: Alamy is ~70% I believe, Photoshelter pays 80%, Digital Railroad is in a similar area.
Photrade can be a tool for many photographers, for some images. I just think that the business model it uses will turn off photographers with other options to license their images.
