Photrade – Make Money From Your Photos

Posted November 15th, 2007 by Jeremy Schoemaker

PhotradePhotrade is a really sweet new service in beta I discovered at Blogworld. Its a free place to host your images BUT it makes you money. Its kind of like flikr meets mugshots meets cafepress…… and a lot more. I asked Krista Neher who was at their booth to summarize Photrade:

So thats pretty cool huh? Basically you just upload your photos (there java uploader kicks butt):

Then once your photos are uploaded you can easily share them:

Once you share them you can choose where to place the ad on your photo (if you want to do that)

Then this is what it looks like:

SO just to review:

  1. You upload and host your photos on photrade
  2. You get paid a cpm on how many views your photos have (if they are on forums or wherever you still get paid!)
  3. Someone clicks on your photo comes to photrade and clicks on a ad (like Google Adsense) you get a revshare of that.
  4. Someone buys your photo (which you set the price on).
  5. Someone buys a shirt or other merchandise right from the site you get paid!

Now currently photrade is in closed beta but I happened to score a couple hundred invites! If you would like a invite to try this service leave a comment saying so and I will send you one (until they are gone).

I am out of invites ;)

    I doubt you have any left, but hey, nice service, although I think what one can make is quite less, but is a step in the right direction for budding photographers. no more waiting for “god” to approve your photos, like on some *cough* photo sharing sites. The first thing I thought, dang someone beat me to doing this! :)

    I’m using Shareapic for some time now, which is pretty similar to Photrade. But I’m really dissapointed in it because images are loading extremely slowly most of the time, if they load at all. You don’t need invitations for Shareapic, so its easier to join.

    But shoe, if you got an extra invitation for photrade, I’d love to have it :)

    p.s. sorry if the comment is double-posted

    You can select watermarking for your image in user options. Using this selection you images will have a Photrade logo watermarked across the center. We have more great image protection features (can’t talk about them yet – but very cool) coming over the next few months…

  120. Good Comment?
    Krista Neher

    This is Krista from Photrade.

    You can set any price or choose not to sell individual images – so you can disable selling from your personal pictures :) You can also set pictures to private so that only friends and family can view them.

    In terms of obscene pics, we have adult contect flags in which case you must be logged on and over 18 to view the photos.

    Let me know if you have any other questions/comments.

    Hi Worknplay

    This is Krista from Photrade. We have a number of different privacy options. You can set prices individually or choose not to sell any of your photos. We also have privacy protection, so you can set images to private and only allow friends and family to view them.

    Per the concern about obscene pics, we have adult content flags (you have to be logged in and over 18 to view).

    Let me know if you have any other thoughts/comments!

    Seems like a good money make opportunity. It has a potential, it can really take off.

    I forgot to ask, how will copyright be protected? I’m picturing a dozen users raiding stock photo sites to make money with, the more evil ones using the stock photo site affiliate program to make even more by writing “or visit such and such site for thousands of similar images” etc

    its an interesting service but I wouldnt want anybody to buy my personal pictures. It depends what kind of pictures you are selling. They really have to be careful of setting themselves apart in terms people trying to take obscene pics and selling it there for a price. Do you know what the conditions are for posting a picture?

    I would love an invite if you still have some to send out. This service looks great, and it would be a great way to make some extra revenue. Good thing I have a new Digital Camera coming to me, so I can start snapping some photos and maybe make some money too.
    Thanks for sharing your invites.

    If you consider yourself an amateur photographer you should check out iStockPhoto.com if you are interested in making some extra cash for your work.

    My wife is a professional photographer. I’m always trying to get her to take stock photos to earn some extra cash. This is an interesting way for her to promote her work and to make some extra coin.
