More tips to get photo library sales

Christmas pics - Here’s another nifty idea … Designers are already working on Christmas editions of magazines, so dig out your winter images and put those on the site too.

Choosing your subject - With the above in mind, you can see how a bit of forward thinking can increase your chances of a sale. Be ahead of the game with seasonal pictures or images that you know will be in demand. One event that is sure to get lots of press is Worthing Birdman on the 5th and 6th of July. You’ll be in photo-heaven with all the weird and wonderful characters aiming to ‘fly’ off Worthing Pier, and there will be lots of post-event press needing images. Don’t miss it!

Keywords - The more keywords you have for your images, the more search-able they are. It’s important to think out of the box and include as many relevant words as you can. For a great example, click here.

Image resolution - Did you know we sell images in three different pixel sizes? Any images for print need to be 300dpi and the largest size images we sell are 3000 pixels wide. If you set your camera to take images at the highest possible resolution, you’ll cover all the sizes and have more chance of selling £10 images. (£5 goes to you).

Take it easy and happy snapping!
