Just started a Tumblr. I'm clueless.
Anybody here on tumblr with advice on how to make it work for you? I'm trying to branch out and network more and hopefully find a new group of photographers to shoot with. I'm just not good at "new" stuff. Help. I'm ginadee-me if you decide to look.

(That also appears at the top of any of my photosets linked individually) Menus to view only my work, contact me, etc. Decide on a hashtag for pictures of yourself (#me, #GinaDee, etc) to make it easier for you to link to pictures of you only. Then, just like Facebook, Twitter, MM, etc...you just have to network. Having great photos to post (or a theme of sorts, my Tumblr is dedicated more to my art nude stuff lately) only helps. Don't forget the hashtags too, that's how random people find your work. Aug 08 14 03:37 am Link Mark C Smith wrote: Thanks. I've pretty much have been staring at it trying to figure out what I should post next. Aug 08 14 06:44 pm Link Gina Dee wrote: If it's for networking, treat is as such. Focus on pictures of yourself. A lot of Tumblrs are simply repositories for things that either make people laugh, make people think or make people masturbate. Then there's fandoms (I think that's what they're called) Aug 08 14 10:09 pm Link Honestly, since you do nude work, you could build quite a following on Tumblr. But it may be more fans/groupies/fappers rather than photographers or people who you're really networking with. Aug 08 14 10:11 pm Link |
