Photo for free?

posted on 11th of august, 2009

In my blog I recently posted about the photo for free strategy. Here in Dreamstime, as in other agencies, is quite popular the marketing technique to give a photo (or more photos) for free in exchange for portfolio visibility and possibly future sales.

My point was to start considering the photo for free as a personal idea, in your own blog for example.

What do you think about it? I know of only one guy doing it in his blog, are there others trying this marketing idea for themselves?

	Posted by Saniphoto on August 12, 2009 thanks Eugene78, Linqong and Susan for your comments. I start to think that this idea of photo given away on your own website or blog is viable only on a temporary basis - the image should be available for a set period of time to download, not forever. In this way only faithful followers will benefit. Of course there is also to consider what kind of usage the photo for 'free' allows.

	Posted by Linqong on August 11, 2009 Good idea:)
	Posted by Eugene78 on August 11, 2009 as far as I know, photo for free on this site is provided primarily a photographer, not a website. Photographer itself gives a picture section for free.
