Catching the wave...


Well it looks like the photo stock industry is finally catching the wave and following what we at PhotoSpin have been saying for almost a decade: that subscription services are the way to go. They offer the best value for the customer that downloads more than a few images per year.

Recently we have seen iStockphoto, Dreamstime and Fotolia launch their versions of the subscription service. But did they get it right? With a limit on monthly downloads and prices well over $1,000.00 (US) per year for the top tier offered, are they really giving their customers what they want? We at PhotoSpin have found that our customers want full access to our entire image library with unlimited downloads in multiple resolutions to fit most, if not all, of their design needs at an affordable price.

So, do yourself a favor and check out PhotoSpin.com. We’ve been doing subscriptions since 1999 and there is a reason we are still leading the way…

Double Exposure?

Create a company listing in our MySpin Directory and promote it on YOUR site.


In April we introduced our new MySpin Directory: a place where our visitors and customers can create a company listing, upload an ad and even upload a portfolio. We wanted to offer you a unique place to get your company noticed and grow your business.


Now that the Directory is ‘open’ and collecting listings , we’d like to show you a way to gain even more exposure by promoting your company listing through a banner ad on your site:

  • Visit http://www.photospin.com
  • Click on the 'Post your free ad now' link located in the blue box on the right hand side of the page
  • Create your listing, upload your banner, etc.
  • Go to the dashboard by clicking on the dashboard link on the left hand side of the page
  • Copy the link located below the banner advertising your ad at the MySpin Directory and paste it into your web page

Your company is now doubly exposed.

As the directory grows we will be adding a blog, a community forum and a job board. Our goal is to help facilitate better communication for you, your peers and your prospective clients.


Let’s continue to build a community for creative professionals and the businesses that support our industry.
