Photrade - Make Money From Your Photos

216 responses..

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 ;)

    Wow. Seems a nice site and service how you can make money from uploading photos :). I wouldn’t mind an invite if thats at all possible.

    @November 15, 2007 5:45 pm

    This reminds me… Are you getting any affiliate commissions for those you send an invite to? That would be awesome. :)

    Just wanted to ask…

    I would love an invite.
    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.

    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.

    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.

    Worknplay Says:

    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?

    @November 15, 2007 10:51 am

    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!

    - Krista

    krista do u also send invitations ? :P

     
     
    @November 15, 2007 11:01 am

    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.

    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

    @November 15, 2007 11:04 am

    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…
