If you have an account on any of the social networks, then you must have accumulated a lot of memories in your digital collection. Why not make money with beautiful photos?
Lobster is an online marketplace that enables the sale and purchase of material by users. The user registers on the online market and sells his content to advertisers or agencies through it.
How does Lobster work?
The user registers with one of the accounts he uses on social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Google Plus). This process allows him to buy or sell photos through the platform. The beautiful photos featured on Lobster are curated from Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Google and YouTube.
They would sell their photos. Who would buy them?
The platform provides an easy way for advertisers to view photos – there are currently more than 37 billion photos and video content on the platform. When they find the right one, they choose it and buy it. The purchase can be made in different ways: the Lobster team offers a subscription model or the purchase of a single photo. Photos from Instagram cost just under a dollar, Flickr just under two dollars, and video content just under three. We can find them in different categories: everything from nature, objects, wilderness, food, architecture, cities to glimpses from different seasons.
If you need more photos per month, the subscription model is definitely more worthwhile. For 150 photos a month, you will pay $70, for 700, $355, and for 3,000 photos, a good $1,400.
Lobster takes its piece of the pie, 25 percent, from every purchase. Just recently, the startup founded by Eugene Nourminsky, Andrey Dmitriev, Maria Iontseva and Olga Egorshena received a new investment, this time 425 thousand dollars. In total, the London-based startup has already received just under a million dollars in investments.,
