Photrade

Share. Protect. Get Paid.
the most ways to protect and make money from your photos

From Photrade:

Photrade is where photographers reclaim ownership of their photos.

Photraders decide how, when, where and at what cost their photos are used online. We provide unprecedented protection for photos and offer a free photo marketplace where photographers can sell stock, prints and merchandise or use our Adcosystem where photographers get paid for every view of their photo, anywhere on the internet.

Through Photrade, publications and blogs can access a fast-growing library of legally licensed, ad-supported photos.

Reclaim your photos, start photrading.

My 2¢:

• Photrade is fast becoming an excellent tool for photographers, both amateurs and pro’s alike.

• Upload your work and:
  • PROTECT IT ~ now with custom watermarking (very cool)
  • TAG IT ~ help others find it; there’s also a field to add a caption as well as a spot for others to leave comments.
  • SHARE IT ~ handy links provided for blogs
• Monetize your work by:
  • Others viewing/clicking on the ‘in picture ads’ and/or the ‘in gallery ads’
  • Sell prints & merchandise ~ Choose from a VAST assortment of print sizes and gifts
  • Sell Digital Rights to your photos (stock)

Forgot to mention,

• The folks there that I have dealt with on a couple of occasions (Krista & Andrew), have been nothing but helpful and were a pleasure to speak with (via email).
• AND I still have 3 invite codes, leave me a comment and I’ll email you a invite while they last.

I have found the answer, I have seen the light when it comes to uploading my

TIME-LAPSE VIDEO’s!

Smugmug now allows me to upload videos, and unlike YouTube (which uses an antiquated video transcoding codec),

Smugmug got it right using the stellar H.264 codec (developed by Apple?)

SmugMug version:

vs. YouTube

You can actually get them going at the same time with a little finesse of the pause buttons and you’ll see that the SmugMug version is 33-44% “chunky” IMO.
