Hi guys,

I just discovered you can earn money with Keywording at DT, although i guess you probably can not get rich with it :-) Have fun Keywording!

hmm, i haden't seen this before.  Interesting idea, but i am not sure I would spend my time doing it.  Perhaps this idea would be better with a little tweaking.  I allready spend a lot of time tyring to keyword my images well so they sell well.  To get paid 2 cents to keyword someone elses image to be better competition against mine isn't a whole lot of compensation.  I am quite content if other people have crappy keywords.

Hi Leaf,

you might be right, it certainly is not worth my time, but maybe for those who hang arround just to wait excited for a new Dl and having nothing else to do. However, the 2 cents are symbolical as Dt says. On the other hand we might help these photographers who cannot really speak english.

leaf:
yes, well i do agree it is a nice gesture.. i don't think, however i feel that nice to help others sales go up and mine down.

I think it is a really interesting (and nice) concept in micro stock photography how helpful people are to others, and this is a pretty good example, that there are probably people out there keywording other people images as we speak.  In the old days of macro stock photography (not that i'm speaking from experience mind you) there seemed to be a little more cut throat competition and hidin trade secrets.

Probably one reason for more friendly relationships is that a lot of people are doing that just for fun, while they earn most of their money somewhere else. For many it might be not as much a serious business... as it might be with macro..
