Questions of the Day: What's your backup strategy?

SparksMediaGroup

22 hoursJasonZ (465): @SparksMediaGroup Have you looked at Seagates External Hard Drives? Amazon has 22TB for I think around $250. Was thinking of using those instead of cloud storage until I purchased a second NAS for offsite. Back up monthly or bi-weekly and store off site, but then I thought about it and realized I'd never be disicplined enough to do that, lol.

Blog: The Advantages of Digital Twins Created with Matterport & iGUIDE

SparksMediaGroup

23 hoursMeshImages (3235): My take on this: First: Both platforms have been acquired by listing portals - Matterport by Costar and iGuide by the Australian REA Group. And both are now being fully integrated, with a much stronger focus on the listings business and property marketing in the future. I see, that the original digital twin ambitions are history and that marketing is now the focus. Next: Both platforms require cloud processing, re-processing, and with...

Matterport Cancels Classic

4 daysHelloPado (177): This happened to me about 2 years ago. I was able to get the Classic account reinstated because I could prove that I had two forms of payment and they did not use my backup payment option, so it was their fault. Did you have a backup payment option? I strongly suggest anyone with a Classic account have one or two backup payment options on your account. More recently, I received an email stating that my payment had been declined and I needed to...

One such addition was, I believe, at my personal request. Noting that all such human-created work can vary with the human, I wanted a way to request a particular artist on their team....

Dataventurer

6 daysSparksMediaGroup (1233): @Dataventurer good to see VirtualStaging AI offer multiple angles with same furniture, Collov AI can do this as well for a higher tiered subscription.. the example I saw of Collov showed that each "regeneration" of the image degraded it a bit... I wasn't too happy about that.

Since I was hired to do them by a landscaping company I asked them to check with the owner of that company. I would not mind if the owners get some photos but that needs to be checked with the company that has hired me.

Zillow Media Credits for Rental Management Companies

8 dayspixelray (1204): I'm going to tell you what I think is happening here. While Zillow media credits may only exist right now for rental management companies that have multiple properties, what's to stop Zillow from going after everyone with enticing them with media credits to use their $20 per hour photographers on all jobs? That's where I think this is leading.

Question of the Day: Hosting duration and renewal fees...

SparksMediaGroup

9 daysvrephoto (82): I provide 6 months of hosting for all scan types and charging a monthly fee per space for additional months, but it's become such a headache to track and bill these so I need to change this to a 6 or 12 month billing increments. I haven't even been enforcing this for most residential scans that go over 6 months because it's too much of a hassle.

Most clients with their ducks in a row have list dates many days beyond the shoot date so they've no need for super fast turn around times. Biggest hindrance to more of a "same day" approach?

She also wouldn't finalize price until the night before she went live. The time frame between her listing appointment and the day we actually went live could be a week...
