Hey Fellow TalkMicro Members,

I would like to humbly present my business for a dynamic licensing marketplace to you and ask for your advice, any suggestions you can think of and support while we grow.

My name is John and I'm the founder of Cutcaster, Cutcaster: Stock Photography and Footage: Search for Royalty Free Images and Video |, which is community-based content marketplace for licensing royalty free photos and stock video. Cutcaster is dynamic and unique because the site matches supply and demand by giving creators the option to set their own price for the cost of a royalty free license or choose Cutcaster?s patent-pending pricing algorithm to correctly price the content. On the other hand, the platform lets buyers seamlessly submit bids/lower prices for content to a seller, which they can accept, decline or meet with a return offer back to that buyer.

For the first time, buyers and sellers can negotiate seamlessly over a site and close sales they might never have known about. Sellers always have the choice of where they want to price their hard work and aren?t cornered in to what the site charges. In addition, we plan to offer hard data to sellers and buyers i.e. Cutcaster?s market education tools, so they can learn and adjust their pricing levels to capture more sales volume. This, we hope, can lead to more dollars in creator?s wallets than higher pricing alone.

We are young obviously and making up for it by working hard and listening closely to what people tell us is the right way to build a business and treat our members. My background is trading stocks on Wall St., which is where I got the idea for Cutcaster. We had electronic trading platforms, which seamlessly helped buyers and sellers find one another, negotiate on pricing and cut out the expensive and inefficient middleman. I should know because I was one of those middlemen and left the business ;-)

I can tell you I have learned a ton and still have a long way to go but I?m excited everyday.

I?m asking you for your time and a chance to prove that we can create something new and better together. I?m always available to chat and my cell and email is below. I would love to hear your thoughts and criticisms as I?m always learning. And plus, I have thick skin ;-)

Best,

John Griffin
