I went to a talk y'day on Photoshelter by one of the founders.
I was offered a 'free year of PS'.

I am not sure it is worth my time.

Does anyone here have a presence there?

It's one of the most well known platforms out there for photographers.. Joe Mcnally uses it, countless others. If you were offered a free year, that's a solid $300-500 bucks

So yeah I would take it.

And tell us how you get said free year too : )

Solas--I tried to email you. You asked a question and have me on blocked [apparently].

thanks

Grover Sanschagrin, the co-founder of Photoshelter will be on campus.


He will be presenting on “The secret ingredient to successful, modern marketing is content -- real, authentic, high-quality content. For most people, this is a huge challenge. But for you, as a photographer, it isn't because you are a content creator! In this session, Grover will talk about innovative ways content can be used in marketing and lead generation campaigns. Webinars, "content kits", white papers, instructional videos, and community-building will be discussed. Most photographers are unaware that these marketing opportunities exist, and often outperform regular marketing activities, so this is your chance to get ahead of the pack.”

You were offered a year free of PhotoShelter and you are still thinking about it? I pay $29.99 a month since 2013 and it was the best thing I could have done for my business. Two features that I use the most and separate PShelter from others are: Password protected galleries that I send to my client and, I share images on FB, Linkedin, G+, Pinterest, Twitter straight from my website. When someone on FaceBook clicks on my image it takes them straight to my website. Seriously, PhotoShelter is awesome. Take the free offer.

Here is my website: www.mediacompassphoto.com

I'm on photodeck, it's basically the same thing for the same money except I like the interface for proofing a bit better..and can upload video and such. The back end is a bit easier for my needs.

I just uploaded 2 gigs worth of stock photography, it's insane, the global settings and keywording you can do is idiot proof on both of those sites.

Here is a comparison of both..the main adv. for me is no commission fees (on photodeck) I reallllly like that..

but photoshelter isn't all that bad, it's got a lot more press and a lot of big names use it. The main advantage to these sites is how drop dead simple the proofing interface is.

If you get either for free, I would jump on that. That's a great deal. Alas I'm paying 29 a month from the look of it

The 'free thing' had to do w going to Grover S. lecture.

I meant emailing you here.

Pablo, you do nice work. Is yr PS private or can anyone find it via websearch?
