PicNiche is a neat tool that allows you to determine the supply and demand for your images. Here is how it works. You give it a few key words that describe your image. PicNiche searches various MicroStock sites and determines:
1) How many images contain those keywords.
2) How many views have been recorded for those images.
3) How many downloads have been recorded for those files.
You can utilize this data to determine if you are creating imagery for a saturated or low demand market. You can also use it before you shoot to test your ideas out to see if there is a demand for them.
They also give you a rating to tell you the likelihood of your image getting downloaded. The higher the image rating is, the better your chances of making a sale. It also gives you a list of keywords to potentially use. I say potentially, because not all of these keywords will work for you. Make sure you evaluate each of them so you do not commit keyword spamming and get a high rejection rate. Below the keywords are some suggested queries and their resulting rating. Clicking on these suggestions will yield their set of key words.
Use this tool to increase your sales and to research potential business opportunities. A few minutes on this web site can save you hours of work creating low demand stock and keep you focused on the money makers.
