Q: Why should I, as an editorial stock photographer,
use PhotoSourceBANK when I can get my images up on a webpage
for free with AngelFire, Tripod, GeoCities and others?
A: This one's easy: Number of hits from photobuyers per day.
Photobuyers actively search PhotoSourceBANK pages for special
interest images. Our website gets an average of 40,000 hits per
day -- four times as many visitors as all of our photography competition
sites -- COMBINED. Wouldn't you rather have four times as many buyers
visiting your web page on the PhotoSourceBANK?
Q: Why all the specialized categories? Can't I just list
"Nature," "Scenics," "Sports," "Agriculture," and be done with it?
A: Magazines, brochures, websites, DVD's, multi-media, textbooks,
and books are highly specialized today because their readers/viewers
have highly specialized interests. Photobuyers don't want to contact
50 photographers who are "sports" photographers -- when they can
find four photographers who have listed "indoor soccer." Also it
stands to reason that a "soccer" photographer probably knows more
about the game (and this will reflect in his or her photographs)
than a generalized "sports" photographer. Photobuyers are interested
in pleasing their discerning (and often critical) viewers. Also,
rather than 'one-word,' use multiple (keyphrases) to describe your
photos. Photobuyers usually enter multiple words in a search bar.
Q: How should I list my scenics and landscapes?
A: . If you list a landscape, pick out some specific aspect.
Here are some examples: Appalachian Trail in winter, Painted Desert
at sunup, petrified wood, White Grass Ranch in the Tetons, Seals
at Monterey Bay.
Q: I plan on using all 6,000 words -- can I condense my photo
descriptions by eliminating non-essential words?
A: Yes, for example, in the above Q & A, you could eliminate
all prepositions such as "in", "at", etc.
Q: Is it o.k. to list just 300
words or phrases?
A: Yes, it's o.k. But why not list
6,000; why not increase your selling power by 10?
