What are newsfeeds on FB?
Posts by your friends that appear down the middle of your Facebook page.
The unwanted ads and other junk that must be coming from newsfeed in the middle of my Facebook page are resulting in me seriously considering deleting my Facebook account. It’s been ruined by all the junk. I bet many others feel the same.
If you have any caching plug-ins try deactivating them and see if that helps.
Contributor cost:
Basic Symbiostock theme is open-source and no cost.
Web hosting and any purchased specialized WordPress or Symbiostock add-ons/plug-ins as desired. Of course their time to setup their hosting and web site initially and then on-going uploading and site maintenance.Buyer Costs:
Image/illustration costs may vary widely as determined by each Symbiostock site owner. I would think it sufficient to say that in general overall buyer costs would be very competitive versus agencies. I wouldn’t make direct price comparisons as that would be misleading and confusing given the range of prices offered in the Symbiostiock network.Another couple:

I think we all have to decide by ourselves the value and investment we place on our images, and how we can get the best return for that investment.
To be a real viable stock “business” one has to account for all costs involved in producing images.
Equipment, insurance, vehicle/travel, education, etc. Also we must not forget to place a value/cost on the photographer/designers time & talent that it took to produce the image. All the time – not just how long to compose and press the shutter. The time required for post production, web site creation/maintenance, up-loading, retouching, customer service, etc, all must be considered to really have a clue of our cost of production.
Without knowing our cost factors in time and material we are likely to be grossly wrong in pricing our products and are in essence selling at a loss.
With 105 current Symbiostock sites it seems that the site curve is leveling off.
We need buyers of course but also need to have lots more Symbiostock sites to increase the net footprint and number of images available via the Symbiostock network.
How do we attract more stock photogs and illustrators into Symbiostock?
