Title: Marketing...what works?
Post by: Anita Potter on August 18, 2013, 17:17
Looking into start marketing and rather than dragging up an old thread from late July thought I'd start a new one.

As independents I know it's on us to do our own marketing.  Has there been anything that's worked or not worked since this was last talked about?

I was thinking about running a Craigslist add but I'm not sure if potential image buyers would even think about looking at a site like that.

The strategies we build now will help those thinking about getting started get a head start after they finish with building their site.

I don't know much about marketing and any links to good, thorough articles from trusted sites would be most helpful.

Thanks.

You need to do several things

1.Build a strong SEO
2.Build relationships with other symbiostock members to encourage them to network with you.
3.Encourage external links. I managed to make a comment on a news post about stock photos and got a link out of it.
