Well written with nice illustrations. But I was hoping for more actual help in getting material ready for selling on microstocks.
A good book for someone with absolutely no photographic experience to get started, but alot of unneccesary info for photographers. He jumps from talking to someone with no knowledge to talking to another pro stocker and lost me in the middle at one point, but I have not finished the book yet.

This book is as advertised. I’ve been submitting images to microstocks for about five months now, and Freer’s book is chock-full of useful tips and ideas to help me take my microstock efforts to the next level. Highly recommended.

This book offers a practical approach to microstock photography. The author gives a comprehensive look at the sales models, license and royalties information of the 4 major microstock companies to help you make your decision on how to effectively market your photos. I found the chapters on what sells and what does not and how to make your pictures win very useful. It includes case studies of contributing microstock photographers, which shows a realistic look at what it takes to make money with stock photography.

I’m an ameteur photographer and have been curious about how to sell my photos to the microstock agencies for some time. This book explains it all — what sells, what doesn’t, how to get started, how to navigate the submission rules/standards of the various agencies, etc. Good practical guidance, well-written and thorough.

This book provides a good overview of microstock sales. It goes into some photo issues which some readers will not really need. Overall it provides some information on the subject that I have not seen in other sources.
