To Visco Images’ contributors
You know that Visco Images has never been a company to stand still, always evolving our solutions to better meet our contributors and buyers needs and expectations. We never wanted to be a “one of the millions” but we want to be different, we want to be THE ONE.
Our next evolution is to make Visco Images as user friendly as possible. 20+ employee work hard for us and 5 very great companies invest to Visco Images just to support our pursuit for perfection.
We want to deserve both of our contributors’ and photo buyers’ trust. As a brand new company in a crowded marketplace, we really need it. We know that there is only one way up, we need to work harder for YOU!
The first step towards offering our photographers we decreased the minimum payable amount to $30-50. Level 3 photographer can request for payouts from $30, level 2 photographer can request for payouts from $40 and level 1 photographer can request for payouts from $50. Let me clarify what is our qualification system and how it works. Visco Images receives hundreds, sometimes thousands of photographs a day that we cannot accept because of quality. That is why we evolved our qualification system that narrows or improve contributors’ ability to submit images. If you take photography and take us seriously, we put you in level 2-3 in minutes and you can enjoy Visco Images’ full service. If you are a hobbyist and do not take photography and us seriously so, you will remain in level 1. This system allows us to concentrate to level 2-3 photographers.
How to get the higher rank? It is so simple; submit only high quality images (70% acceptance ratio) and you will find yourself in the level 2 within minutes. With 90%+ acceptance ratio, you can enjoy extra rights that no other company offers.
We made our submission process as easy as possible with a newly developed submission application that is better than ftp uploading process.
We drastically decreased the reviewing time. Now to review images and get them online is almost immediate for level 2-3 photographers.
Just to attract our current contributors and convert more great photographers to be a part of Visco Images family, we pay instant cash for submission.
Thanks to our investors and partners, we pay instant

And that is not all! At the end of this promotion on December 22, 2010, in the presence of our investors’ representatives, we’ll make a list from our active contributors name using a random list generator. The first 3 lucky names on the list will receive a large number of cash.

1. Не понял, они платят если и загрузил, и приняли до 22 декабря, или (что лучше), если просто загрузил, а проверят уж когда успеют.
2. Для начинающего и совершенно неизвестного стока $0.2 (усреднил) за 1 фото - это неожиданно много. Поэтому есть небольшое недоверие. Хотя в своем тексте они несколько раз пишут про инвесторов и партнеров, что несколько объясняет ситуацию.
