MicroHome & Microgarden
The home and garden market for products, housewares, gardening equipment, nursery flowers, seed, botanical remedies, environmentally sound practices and eco-friendly furnishings and cleaning has shot through the roof. Taking pictures of curbfront appeal and front porch kitsch has a gallery value that can mature in time. Redecoration ideas, garden photography, back yard images and home design tableaux are big microstock business.
Have you ever gone visiting friends or relatives and and found yourself gazing at what other home owners have done with their saltbox frames or shabby chic cottages? Checked out the flowerbeds for inspiration? Scanned the garage area for project ideas? Looked with envy at a clever play house design or backyard studio building? Visual ideas give home owners great motivation to imitate what they see others have done.
But getting these ideas transferred online saves the home owner travel and lets them do their project and garden idea browsing online. Many people with a sound knowledge of gardening do a bit of blogging or website composition, but they don’t have access to low cost legal images to compete the blog entry or website. That’s when the value of a portfolio of home design, garden foliage, nursery plants, and flowerbed plenitude comes in handy.
Taking microstock pictures of home and garden requires attention to detail. What makes the photo special? Is it a lamp that is made out of homemade materials? Is it an unusual plant or flower grouping inside a planter? Sometimes home and garden subjects make amusing photo compositions. Sometimes a series of colored plants in a range of hues is just what the webmaster ordered. Some people gaze at plants the way women look at handbags or men look at cars.
Home projects like backyard studios, play houses, pet shelters, and garden stalls or washstands start when a homeowner gets it into their head they want to build it. But seeing the completed project or what it might look like builds innovation and adaptation in the home craftsman. They might want to build something similar but maybe they want use a different color wood or a darker stain or perhaps a different plant entirely.
File management and archiving selectively really pays off in this category. Use colors, plant shapes, greenery or homefront or backyard file folders. Add to your gallery using smaller sized images so the save and copy crowd doesn’t steal your work. At some point, building a website and loading up keywords to your files may get the traffic to service ad code and build micro revenue on that basis alone.
