Buyer FAQ: Stocksy Accounts
Common questions about acquiring premium Stocksy portfolios
Why is a Stocksy account worth more than other stock agencies?
Stocksy pays 50% royalties (vs 15-30% at competitors), meaning the same download earns you 2-3x more. Combined with premium pricing and exclusive content, Stocksy accounts generate significantly higher per-image revenue. The invite-only nature also means accounts are scarce and valuable.
What makes Stocksy's 50% royalty rate sustainable?
Stocksy is an artist-owned cooperative, not a venture-capital company. Artists are shareholders who vote on company decisions. This structure prioritizes creator earnings over investor returns, making the 50% rate a permanent feature, not a promotional offer.
How do I verify a Stocksy account's premium client history?
Our escrow process includes verification of the contributor dashboard showing download history, client types, and earnings breakdown. Stocksy's clientele includes Fortune 500 companies like Apple, Nike, and Google, which we can verify through licensing records.
What's the barrier to entry for new Stocksy contributors?
Stocksy is invite-only with a rigorous curation process. They accept less than 5% of applications and require existing contributors to vouch for new applicants. Buying an existing account bypasses years of portfolio building and the uncertain application process.
How does Stocksy's exclusive content model affect pricing?
Stocksy images cannot be sold elsewhere, making each piece truly exclusive. This scarcity drives premium pricing ($15-300+ per license vs $1-10 at microstock sites). Exclusive content commands 10-30x higher per-download revenue.
What's the typical valuation multiplier for Stocksy accounts?
Stocksy accounts typically sell for 25-40x monthly earnings due to higher royalty rates and premium positioning. A $500/month Stocksy account may sell for $12,500-$20,000, compared to 15-20x for standard microstock accounts.
Can I add new content after purchasing a Stocksy account?
Yes, but Stocksy curates all submissions. Approximately 30-40% of submissions are accepted. The established account gives you the contributor status, but new uploads still go through their quality review process.
What happens to the cooperative membership when I buy an account?
Stocksy contributors are cooperative members with voting rights and potential profit-sharing. When you acquire an account, you inherit this membership status. You'll need to update account details through Stocksy's standard process.
