Why an Industry Research Report for Agencies?

Finding myself repeatedly answering the same questions about how microstock agencies work, I started to think there might be a market for a research report on the topic. People looking at the industry from outside were spending weeks just to get beyond the basics. Even people within the industry seemed to have specialized knowledge of one area and some gaps in their general understanding.

It was to fill these needs that I wrote the Microstock Agency Research Report.
