Photo sharing is the number one way to share content due to the proliferation of digital cameras. Flickr is the leading image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform. In addition to being a popular website for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository and source for photographic content. As of June 2009, Flickr was reported to host more than 3.6 billion images.
Flickr allows its members to create a network of friends, in turn, allowing them to share photos with their friends and family. It also allows its members to upload, tag, comment, and categorize photos; which is now central to many social networks.
6S Marketing will implement the following services on Flickr for your company:
- Create a pro Flickr Account
- Ensure that your account is properly tagged, sorted, geo-located, and grouped
- Organize photo collateral into appropriate sets and collections
- Fill out profile with information about your company – links to all of the other social media profiles
- Create contacts on the company Flickr account that are in your company’s target demographic.
We highly recommend that Flickr profiles allow photo distribution utilizing the Creative Common Attribution’ licensing. This will allow users to use and repurpose your photographic content as long as they link to you with photo credit. It can also be highly beneficial for link building, traffic, and SEO efforts.
