Buy, Sell, & Monetize Photos With Photrade

There’s always been a big desire for awesome photos, whether it be for blogging, creating ads, newspapers, designing websites, or whatever else you can think of.  And Photrade is here to answer that call with a couple of creative extra features.

Photrade has been around for a while, but within the past year has really gotten into the eye of the public.  They’re the next big thing in online photo management.

I’m A Blogger, What Can It Do For Me?

As a blogger, no matter what you think, you can’t just steal photos from the web and publish them.  It’s illegal without paying for or giving credit for each and every photo you use.  And I’m just as much to blame as anyone else when it comes to ignoring this rule, but you can get into some major lawsuits if you’re not careful.

Photrade offers hundreds of stock photos for you to pick and choose from and purchase to use on your blog, or for other creative ad or design work.  A neat little addition to simply adding pictures to your blog is the ability they offer to “monetize that shit!”  And according to Ted Murphy, “If you don’t monetize, you’re a donkey.”  Simply add a photo from photrade to your blog, and you’re given the option to ad a text based ad just below the photo.

I’m a Photographer, What Can It Do For Me?

As a photographer, you get the best photrade has to offer.  You’ve got a place to upload your high quality photos, offer them for sale, and create contests to help market your photos virally.  The more others know about them, the more money you make.

Photrade is a win-win opportunity for publishers and photographers alike, and the functions they provide are what I believe will be the next big thing dealing with photos online.
