Microstock Services / Keyword service for photographers
« on: July 27, 2015, 08:57 »
Hello everyone! Colleagues, I want to discuss with you a theme of matching keywords to your photos.
Personally for me it's still a big problem. And there is a number of reasons:
- I do not know English very well. I cant choose keywords without help of Google Translator. This naturally affects the quality of the selection of keywords, because the translator often writes synonyms that customers dont use in searching for images.
- The second reason follows from the first. In order to stay in the trend, and to be competitive you need to not only take photos in fashionable style, but also to select the appropriate keywords, in fact, that English as well as other languages are often updated with new expressions.
- I spend an enormous amount of time for selection of correct keywords. This time I could spend on shooting, retouching and improving my skills. Due to the fact that I spend a lot of time on the selection of keywords, I cant increase the amount of uploaded photos.
The conclusion suggests itself. It is necessary to find a person who is professionally engaged in the selection of keywords. And the more - the better. In the search for those I have spent a lot of time. But still no result
After some time, we had an idea: why not to create a service that will help photographers to not only get rid of the routine, but, certainly, would have a positive impact on sales. After all, commercial success of the portfolio by 50 percent, and may be even more dependents on the well-chosen keywords.
Anyway, in the beginning of October, we will run such a service called Keyboarding" in testing mode, which will operate on a subscription system. Keywords for photos will be selected by qualified staff.
The first time, we will maintain a small number of authors. Who wants first to know about the beginning of the service can leave a request here: http://kboarding.com/promo/
Thank you) I will be glad to hear your comments.
