  1. The author of this article forgot to mention that Scoopshot ONLY offers editorial content. That’s a pretty big omission. He also didn’t to mention that Scoopshot transfers the copyright from the seller to the buyer. If you sell on Scoopshot you can only make the one sale – I believe it is only for 2.50 – instead of selling the same image many times on the other stock sites mentioned. Bad deal. If you want to sell your mobile images and retain the copyright (and be able to sell them multiple times) try Picfair. You retain the copyright and get to set your own price. I think you keep all of that commission too (unlike Scoopshot) because the commission is charged on the publisher’s side.
