Did you ever think a photograph could drive traffic to your website? Farm new leads? Build new communities?

Flickr.com is highly personal, as it deals with photography, allowing your tastes, likes and dislikes, to attract new people to you in an online world. Engage Flickr as a promotional tool, and a place to relax and enjoy yourself a little.

Every week, post photos.

• Use your digital camera to take pictures to post to your Flickr Account.

Getting Started

• Buy a Digital Camera.
• Create a Flickr.com Account (requires Yahoo Email Account - Free)
• Download and Install the Flickr Uploader tool.
  
• Upload your favorite, or all your photographs.
• Tag photos according to their subject and potential use.
• Use Flickr and third-party tools to publish new images to your site.
• Search other users photos, mark your favorite pics, and add new people to your network.
• Create a Flickr Group and get people to join, starting a new community to farm.
  

Warning

Flickr is a social media site that shares images with other people all over the world. The photographers are in control of their permission rights. Be clear about which photos you use, and get permission for those who are copyrighting their images.
