Keywording service now available at picWorkflow!

Hey All :)

I'll be adding a Keywording service to picWorkflow in the next few days.

It will allow you to both submit your images for keywording, and earn by keywording other's images (though keyworders will be subject to approval beforehand and within an ongoing QC process).

I'm wondering how many people are interested in keywording for the system, and how many would be interested in purchasing the keywording process (it's been heavily requested by existing picWorkflow suggestions already but I'd like to get a broader view).

If you want to keyword images, how much would you expect to earn per image?
If you want images keyworded, how much would you expect to pay (and for how many keywords)?

Thanks :)

The service is now active, I've tried to incorporate a lot of the suggestions from you guys and gals, and I've added a pricing system which makes it possible to earn more and more for better performance. Info here:

You will simply add a process to each image (or selection of several images) you want keyworded, specifying the number of keywords you desire and the keyworders will keyword them before your files are uploaded by the picWorkflow system.

I'm looking to provide it cheaper than any other keywording service, although precisely how much it will cost is yet to be decided and is to be determined by finding the mid-point between what photographers are willing to pay, and what keyworders are interested in accepting as payment. Please let me know, whichever camp you are in, how much that that will be :)

One suggestion on payment could be to be paid in picniche uploading credits.  That way people could upload for 'free' by keywording a few images.  

Perhaps you could also have a rating system so the people who had their images keyworded could rate how good the keywords were.  People with the highest rating would earn more.

I like to keyword my own images, so I am not sure any price would really be low enough, but just throwing some numbers out ... I'm not sure I'd pay much more than $0.25/image for keywording for say 25 words, and probably wouldn't spend time keywording someone else's images unless I was paid $0.50/image .... you start to see the problem :)  But keywording I am sure is a valuable service for those who don't have English as their first language.

However, people living in cheaper countries to live in than Norway (and people actually looking for a job) would probably be happier being paid a lot less/image.  I think a person could easily earn a fair wage at $0.25/image.
