the places you’ve toured. It also serves as your inbox to track messages.
Adding a listing is always free and easy to do. You can add photos and
all the details about your space. Plus you can add property details and
you can post reviews.They bring in all the other helpful data to describe
the location (local amenities, parking info and maps – including street
views and aerials). They keep your profile secure and your contact info
protected from spammers.

Microstock Music ---StockAudioCommunity
What Company Is Offering:
Microstock Music is a concept rooted in the photography industry. What defines a platform as a microstock photography company is that they (1) source their images almost exclusively via the Internet, (2) do so from a wider range of photographers than the traditional stock agencies (including a willingness to accept images from "amateurs" and hobbyists), and (3) sell their images at a very low rate (anywhere from $1.00 - $10) for a royalty-free image. AudioMicro takes the same idea and applies it to the music industry. Anyone can upload his or her music, and then, it can be bought at a very low rate ($1 per minute).
How It Works:
Through this, the artist has the ability to get his or her music out to a large group, and due to the low price, more buyers are attracted.
You can check your downloads by visiting the “My Account” profile page and clicking “Download Activity”. You can drill down on your monthly downloads and see exactly which tracks have been licensed.
You’ll first need to add credits to your account. Generally, 1 credit equals 1 US dollar, but here you’ll see that their pricing offers discounts for purchases of 10 credits or more.

GradeGenie is a website that allows students and faculty to share non-copyrighted, academically allowed course materials with other students
What Company Is Offering:
GradeGenie is a website that allows students and faculty to share non-copyrighted, academically allowed course materials with other students. Items such as class notes, study guides, prior homework assignments and other materials that would help a student gain a more in-depth understanding of their coursework would be offered on the site. Items such as tests, etc, or anything that would be in violation of the academic fraud and plagiarism policies are NOT allowed.
How It Works:
GradeGenie takes study groups to a whole new level. It allows real-time, mass collaboration of ideas, notes, etc beyond the geographic limitations of a single university. Our belief is if GradeGenie can enhance a student's understanding of their course materials, and help them save time, then better grades can be achieved through better learning.
GradeGenie depends on students helping students by uploading class notes in an easy to use tool that will then post the notes in a way that other students will be able to easily find them. The second way and probably the most frequently used way, will be for students to search for the class notes that are important to them. You will be able to search, view and download (as applicable) the notes that will help you study more effectively for your class.
