A DISTRIBUTED MARKETPLACE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY - THE WEMARK PROJECT

I love photography! I own a DSLR and I love clicking pictures of objects or people. Photography has always been a passion for me and in the last couple of years I have found out ways to monetize my passion. I sell my best shots on stock photography websites such as Shutterstock. However, the revenue is very low. As a content creator and photographer, it pains me to see that most of the revenue that comes in from my photos is charged as commission by the websites I use to sell these photos.

There is a monopoly in the market when it comes to content distribution. Creators spend time and resources to create quality content and art. The intermediaries, such as Shutterstock provide a platform for photographers or other artists to sell their products. In return, the websites charge hefty commission and other charges just for connecting the buyers to the sellers. This robs the content creator of a significant portion of his/her income.

The Wemark Project aims to change this practice and connect photographers directly to the buyers. With its state of the art revolutionary platform, the Wemark ecosystem allows freelancer photographers to sell their product. The unique selling point of the platform is the low, almost negligible fees that it charges from the content creators. This ensures that photographers as well as other creators can invest that amount in creating more quality content, hence revolutionizing the entire ecosystem.

Wemark Ecosystem wants to take the game a level up by integrating other content platforms as well. It currently supports photographers, but in the future it wants to support movie makers as well as writers. I truly appreciate this gesture as it will let the money flow where it actually belongs to. The Wemark team aims to use the revolutionary blockchain network to design the new ecosystem. It will ensure a smooth, secure and transparent functionality wherein the buyers can directly contact the sellers and transfer the amount automatically once the product is received.

I am myself a content creator as well as a photographer. This platform appeals to me more than any other existing ones in the market. We content creators, work hard to deliver quality content to our audience. It is only fair that we receive what we deserve. According to me, this is one of the hottest blockchain based projects to watch out for in 2018!
