If you’re earning or planning to earn from microstock agencies, you might be wondering who buys stock photos from them.

I believe newcomers also have the same question. Honestly, many are likely curious about who pays for the work of microstock authors.

More and more stock agencies are launching Russian-language interfaces for users. And, perhaps, this is justified, as many microstock contributors are indeed from Russian-speaking regions. But, importantly, the percentage of stock buyers from Russian-speaking regions is also increasing month by month. It seems to me that the introduction of Russian localization on stock agencies is driven by competition for new markets.

Happy New Year to everyone! Wishing you good health, lots of luck, and success in the Year of the Tiger! And, of course, great success in your work on photobanks, with fewer unpleasant surprises!
