After Inventing The Google Of Stock Photography, StockPipeline Is Randy Taylor´s Next New Venture

Stockpipelinelogo_1Earlier Creators Cycle, Stockmedia.net and StockPhotoFinder, now StockPipeline: 1123 Broadway, Suite 1006, NYC 10010, is getting pretty much overcrowded.

Serial entrepreneur Randy Taylor ("We want to be the Google of stock photography") of Stockphotofinder founded his next venture: Stock Pipeline, aimed at photographers, artist’s reps and small stock photo agencies. StockPipeline recommends the use of Keyword Compiler, also located at ... 1123 Broadway, Suite 1006, NYC 10010.

Getting serious: in a nutshell, StockPipeline, as a completely automated, artist-controlled business platform for the licensing of stock photos, links photographers and picture buyers, providing what is necessary to completely control ecommerce, licensing and hi-res image fulfillment. Photo sellers receive 100% of the licensing fees, Stock Pipeline the transaction fee ($25), with zero commissions on sales.

Services include:

  • Multiple price lists that you can select from or create to your ability to limit usage restrictions and countries of access per image
  • Eight language search
  • Client-controlled resizing "on the fly" upon download
  • You can band together several photographers and operate as a company or cooperative (PhotoShelter offers the same feature)
  • Image suppliers benefit by maintaining of their brand and direct relationships with their clients, and from online keywording and captioning
  • Drag & drop image upload that automatically extracts IPTC/File Info captions and keywords and creates your thumbnails, previews and 56 MB deliverables

  • One year minimum, starting at $50 a month for up to 1,000 high resolution images, monthly rates increase at $5.00 per 100 images. The one-time setup fee is $200.

More here at the Press Release Cemetery:

StockPipeline.com is technology sales tool, not a marketing channel. To assist the essential need of marketing, it has made special arrangements with StockPhotoFinder.com, the stock photo search engine that is rapidly growing marketing for image suppliers with its 100% royalty model. Those who leverage their direct marketing via the Stock Photo Finder will receive a $100 discount on the setup fees at StockPipeline.com, as well as the perfect fit of an e-commerce platform that is ideally suited for direct marketing.

Just aside, for the usual lame ducks, Randy Taylor noted earlier at Mactribe:

Footage is also the future. We are implementing the process for footage. It’s just a matter of time before we will have available footage for a search. The process has a common lightbox and all the same functionality as still imagery. It will be here by the end of the year. We are already searching millions of pictures. We expect to be searching 10’s of millions of pictures and footage clips.
