How to boost your earnings by 10 percent     posted on 21st of august, 2007

Did you know that if you have your own site and you display your images there, you can point them to your image details page on Dreamstime and earn 60% from the sales you make this way or even 70% if you are an exclusive??

How you can do that:

1. Build your own site (or go with a web2 platform)

2. Display watermarked thumbnails of your images

3. Point the ones that you have on Dreamstime using their referral link. You can also add a "Download" button under the image.

You can find the referral link under the watermaked image, on the image detail page:

e.g. Image details page

scroll down for "Referral Link".

The link should look like this:

http://www.dreamstime.com/ladybug-rimage2840606-resi6

were 6 from resi6, is your user ID (the one you use for FTP login)

4. Sit back and relax

That's very easy to do if you already have a site. Of course, you can only point images that we accepted on Dreamstime.

All buyers referred this way, will award you an additional 10%.

Well, for the view.... till now... :)
That is also a kind of "content" and update to say what's new... I was doing that sometimes and now it is becomming quite regular.
Well that was a good idea, with some good advantages....

Yes, the ones with the referral code contain the res parameter followed by your user ID (the same one you use for FTP).
Glad to see it starts to show results for you.

Hi Serban, I'm doing this since a while.
I've got the impression that is working, I mean that some sales appears... but that is just an impression I guess because I don't see referral income about...
My blog is not a big traffic blog, I think that the few sales are from DT and in reality not from my 10 visitor's day blog, but just in case I'm doing wrong something : the refrerral id is contained in the referral link? it looks like : resi-XXXXX and if that code is embended then the referral link is working?
Whatever since I'm doing that the view have slightly increase for sure and I already have a referral member through the badge that I historically putted on the blog before the images, so well...good suggestion and I feel happy doing it

I guess I will have to take some time to build this page on my website! It may be worth the time to do so. Of course, it will cut into my precious blogging time, but we can't have everything, right Serban? lol

Thanks for your comment, it was very helpful. I saw how the "Referral link" works. I have a badge on my web site, but is not too visible. I'll have to change the position on the web site.
I´ll tel you, I´m fans M.Jackson too. Great!!.

Yeah, I have a banner placed on my website for now. Its very hard to put up a sale gallery on my website as well because there is already not enough time to finish the unfinished photos in here :P . Eventually I will do it for sure.

Last night I just was reading about it. Could you add some web site from our community to see some example about your article?.
Thanks.
