Fotoglif launches new micropayment site focused on serving bloggers and web publishers
A new stock photography business has launched in Toronto called Fotoglif, with a focuse on serving images to bloggers, social media fans, and other Web publishers with royalty-free and timely images. The beta version of the Fotoglif image-sharing community and licensing platform is available now live at Fotoglif.com. The site features more than 3 million images, with thousands of new ones from professional photographers and respected news agencies added each day.
“Fotoglif is a great source of free images that aren’t available anywhere else. It’s been an invaluable resource for my site!” commented the writer of the World of Royalty Blog, http://www.worldofroyaltyblog.com, who goes by the pen name ‘Cinderella.’
Fotoglif also announced that it has secured an initial funding round from Hong Kong-based Sun Wah Hi-Tech Group, a division of Sun Wah Group, http://www.sunwahgroup.com. The company is a diversified conglomerate with businesses in six principal areas: real estate, financial services, infrastructure, technology, media, and seafood and food stuff.
“Fotoglif gives Web authors who want to add visual flair to their pieces an alternative to traditional photo stock houses and grass roots image sites, with the bonus of earning revenue from images they select,” said Fotoglif founder Michael Betts. “As a former photography studio owner, I see a huge opportunity to help photographers broaden the use of their images through our new business model. We’ve built our service to allow revenue sharing among those who provide the images and those who use the images - a classic ‘win-win’ scenario.”
launching our company today. We’ve seen a gap in the marketplace we know we can fill, and we appreciate the backing of our financial partner Sun Wah Hi-Tech Group, the support of a seasoned board of directors, and the goodwill of our entrepreneurial colleagues within the Toronto technology community.”
