SELLING YOUR IMAGES - Stock Images

[Little Mele]

Just had an email from the person listed below asking if I want to join them and let them sell some of my images.

Has anyone else on WAB dealt with this company. I have never sold any images before and am now wondering how to go about it.

All help and advice most welcome and appreciated.

This is the person/company who has contacted me:

Thanks, Little Mele (Ann)

I was approached by them some time ago but declined the invitation to join them.

If you haven't already done so, I suggest you google 'AKM Images' - you'll get some interesting results and see that most of those approached haven't been too impressed

Hi Little Mele,
I haven't dealt with them or know of them but if you enter AKM IMAGES INC into GOOGLE you will find quite a bit on this company.
See as well as their own website the one headed AKM IMAGES Fact or Fallacy at betterphotos.com .

Quite a few interesting comments throughout!

Have a 'Google' for them, 'Mele'. I did and the consensus appears to be that it's a bit 'dodgy'. This seems to be typical:

If you want to have a go at selling images Alamy is a good website to use.

Many thanks everyone. Will do a bit of googling !!

However, if the results of today's photography attempts are anything to go by, it will be a long long time before I make a bean !!

I've just looked at their web site. What an amateurish effort. The selection of Wildlife images shown is a really poor quality selection.
I can't offer any advice on where to go as I've no interest in selling images, but I can recognize a poor set up when I see one!
