Photobucket comments
Check it out – Photobucket now has comments! Just like Flickr, Photobucket now has a way for people doing a lot of image browsing and random luck-of-the-draw Googling can find and comment on your images. If your tagging skills are being developed properly then more hits than ever before might hit your image files, prompting potential sales.
Photobucket comments are a way potential micropayment customers can give feedback about your image collections, photography techniques, and presentation/editing skills. And Photobucket users at large may bring more conversion opportunities. Converting a casual file browser into a micropayment client is a great strategy to developing low cost legal image revenue online.
Potential customers may see an image from your Photobucket and click through to see what else you’ve done. They may inquire about custom work or ask questions. So by enrolling or registering into a new community or board online, if that bulletin board or forum uses Photobucket, every member of that forum just became your next potential Microstock customer.
Email notification will let you know when someone had made a comment. This brings the social network element into play. If someone visiting your Photobucket account happens to know a webmaster or potential client looking for material like what you show, they might email your link to that person. Online users are always looking for avatars, profile images, and signatre blocks or “banners” nobody else has.
Find out what other people have to say about your images, videos and more, and comment on theirs too! It’s fast and easy. Comments can contain Photobucket images, videos and slideshows. You’ll be notified by email when a new comment was added. Encouragement from random viewers and invited “guests” can be informative.
How can this help your microstock career? If the same users that review your image files scan through your folders, they might see an attractive image to complete their website or draw the further into examining your body of photographic work.
