Plinkme for Photographers - Free Exposure

Which stock photography site do you choose when you want to …

You choose Plinkme: the ultimate community for photographers and publishers. We've harnessed the power of cooperation to build a community where everyone wins.

You already know that stock photography sites are made possible by the contributions of talented and dedicated photographers... people like you. So shouldn't you get the credit you deserve? On Plinkme, it's easy. Every photo you share - and every Plinkme image that gets published on the web - is automatically captioned with your hyperlinked credits. And since the photos are displayed via Flash, you'll know that your creative rights stay with you.

Imagine the feeling of pride when you start seeing your photos published on the web… with your name attached. It could be on a brand-new site, or a site you visit every day. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing your name in lights!

Not only will you have the assurance that each photo you share is helping you gain exposure and recognition, you will also feel the glow that comes with contributing something valuable. You can take pride in being part of a community where both photographers and publishers give and take. It's win-win - for you, and for each and every member that makes Plinkme work.

Make yourself at home, and put Plinkme to work for you!

Here's a little more of what Plinkme has to offer:

Gain Exposure by Sharing Your Photos With Publishers and the Public

By creating an account on Plinkme, you put your photography within easy reach of publishers all over the world. Your best photos will find their way to corners of the web you've never even thought to visit! You gain exposure, build your reputation, draw traffic, and earn goodwill. It's the perfect solution for a breakout photographer or serious amateur who wants to build credibility and fame.

Links Generated on Every Image Create Positive Publicity for You

Each Plinkme image displayed on a publisher's site is shown with two links to your spaces on the web. One link connects viewers with your Plinkme gallery, where they can enjoy more of your photos and view your profile. The second link sends visitors directly to your website. Simply drag your mouse over the photo on the right to see the innovative caption in action!

Automatic links back to your gallery and your site mean that each photo keeps working hard to gain you exposure, long after it makes its way onto the web. When your photos work for you, they'll gain you publicity and referrals. You'll find new fans, and maybe even snag some new clients!

Private and Public Galleries Make Sharing Easy

The private gallery space makes it easy for you to share perfectly polished photos. You can upload your photos to the private gallery first to crop and rotate with our convenient web-based tools, using the private areas as your personal workspace. Then, when you have your photo looking just the way you want it, you can transfer the photo to your public space… so all your fans see is the presentation and polish of the finished work.

Photos Displayed Via Flash to Protect Your Intellectual Property

When publishers choose a Plinkme image to display on their site, they obtain the image through copy & paste style code that links the image directly to their site. This script displays each image via Flash, grabbing the images straight from the Plinkme server. This makes sure you receive credit for the photos you share, protecting your intellectual property and ensuring the integrity of the Plinkme experience.

Tap Into the Energy of the Community Through Tag Clouds and Search Terms

Plinkme's tag clouds show popular recent searches, so you always know what search terms other members of the community are using. You get a better idea of how other members are using Plinkme… what pictures they're searching for… and which images are hot right now. You can use this information as guidance to help you decide which pictures to share, and even as a source of inspiration to help you find new ideas for shoots.

When you're logged in, your home page will display the top 100 In-Demand topics, with the number of searches for each. These are the searches which display no appropriate or matching images. This information will help you answer demands and take photos that the community needs. You'll have the assurance that you're providing something valuable… and you'll also ensure immediate popularity for your photos.

On-Site Photo Resizing Offers Added Convenience

No more struggling with complicated graphics programs and code. Plinkme automatically resizes each photo in our system, auto-generating up to three sizes. You can see your picture sized small, medium, or large - all as quick as the click of your mouse. Each size is automatically available to your publishers, too.

Of course, in the private gallery space, you can also use our web-based cropping and rotation tools to get your photo looking just the way you want it.

Get Helpful Input on Your Work through Rating and Commenting
