| How
It Works…. Millions
of photos are purchased daily. They are used
for advertising, books, magazines, newspapers, posters, and
personal use--both on the Internet and in print media.
Millions of dollars are spent
daily to purchase and publish those pictures.
FACT: The photos can be divided into two categories: 1.) Generic
pictures that can be found easily through “stock photo
agencies;” 2.) specific-content pictures that
need to match a specific use or text.
Photobuyers and researchers know that finding photos for
this second category is a difficult and time-consuming task.
WHERE
CAN I FIND IT ?
Internet search engines and a growing number of photo sites
have turned this around. Photo editors and researchers now
can type a three or four word description into Google etc.
and find the “source” of these highly specific
pictures.
| This new method of finding stock photos saves editors
a terrific amount of time (and money), and gives independent
photographers access to thousands of active markets.

| "I'm living proof that a housewife up here
in Alberta, Canada can tap into the network of photobuyers
and photographers on the Internet. Although I don't
travel the world or do assignments, my photos are published
in magazines, books, brochures and on the web. I love
doing it. Thanks to the PhotoSourceBOOK directory, the
photobuyers come to me rather than the other way around.
It's been a good resource to get my name out there."

thousand dollars as a direct result of being listed in

4.) At this moment, a photobuyer, editor, or researcher,
is looking for a specific picture that is in your file,
and is ready to pay $75, $150, $400 and more for that image.
If you have entered your photo descriptive keywords (directions
at www.photosourcebook.com),
you are on your way to selling photos from your database
that you never knew were worth $$$’s. (Pay special
attention to #4, #5, and #6 of the step-by-step instructions.)
5.) If you have a specialized area of interest (aviation,
education, travel, horticulture, children), an extra bonus
of membership in the PhotoSourceBOOK is that you
are positioned to develop a working relationship with specific
photobuyers whose publishing theme is the same as your interest
area. Now that’s a goldmine in itself!
"We are happy to inform you that we've sold
to Unlimited Magazine and Sojourns Magazine as a direct
result of being listed in your excellent resource, PhotoSourceBook."

DIGITAL
CAMERA OWNERS: Because you can deliver a hi-res image
to a photobuyer overnight, we encourage you to also list in
your PhotoSourceBANK pages, pictures that you may
not have already taken, but that you have access to. Examples:
any nearby geographical landmarks, historical sites (well-known
as well as obscure), art galleries, manufacturing sites, hospital(s),
famous homes, churches, synagogues, mosques, entertainment
centers, senior citizen facilities, reservoirs, beaches, watersports,
resorts, lakes, zoos, agricultural specialties, medical research,
night clubs, pet centers, light and power facilities, federal
buildings, florists, garden centers, restaurants, house builders,
country clubs, golf courses, casinos, bed & breakfasts,
boat docks, sailing clubs, auto shops, craft stores, and so
on. (You can list 3,000!)
Where to find more examples: check with your local Chamber
of Commerce, use the Yellow Pages of your phone book, or a
tourist post card stand.
Depending on the season, when you get a request from a photobuyer,
you’ll be able to deliver the image within hours.
This is an excellent way to bond with photobuyers who may
become lifelong clients.
