Create Free Thumbnail Galleries
The Shareapic website hosts all your photos for you, much like other sites such as flickr, and allows you to create excellent thumbnail galleries which can then be placed on your websites, blogs or squidoo lenses.
For me, shareapic solved my photo problem and allows me to make a little money at the same time.
Let me tell you a bit more about it.
Shareapic Thumbnail Galleries
All I do is highlight the photos I want on my thumbnail gallery and shareapic provides the code.
You can join shareapic for free here: shareapic, but take a look at this sample of a thumbnail photo gallery of seabirds near Bangkok.
How does Shareapic work?
Users can create an unlimited number of galleries with just one click and upload photos to them. These galleries and pictures are indexed by shareapic and other people can find them through search engines. However, by sharing the url of your galleries with others photographers can quickly rack up a large number of views.
Here's the url of one of my galleries of dragonflies: http://www.shareapic.net/content.php?gid=354032&owner=nickupton
Users get paid approximately $0.22 per 1000 picture views, but with 1 view credited to your account per picture viewed it is very easy to get 1000s of views very quickly, particularly if sharing them with a large number of friends or blog readers.
I have found it surprisingly easy to generate a large number of views even through a couple of websites and blogs that don't receive huge numbers of visitors: Dartford Waffler (approx 500 unique visitors/month) & Thaibirding (approx 5500 unique vistors/month).
My Digital Camera
I really enjoy using the macro setting on the Nikon Coolpix 7600 and have taken some really good photographs of butterflies and plants using it. This is a fairly basic but adaptable camera that I can thouroughly recommend.
Nikon Coolpix 7600 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
Amazon Price: $418.60 (as of 07/13/2009)
The Nikon Coolpix 7600 is an easy-to-use and effective camera that produces quality images and video clips for even the most amateur photographers.
Using Bidvertiser Advertising on Shareapic
If you do not already have a Bidvertiser account it is very easy to join.
I have joined but really the biggest benefit of shareapic is the free photo hosting and thumbnail galleries.
It's Easy to get Hundreds of Views per day
These pictures of British Orchids have proved popular.
