Sell More · Promotion 101

Want to sell more photos? Think like a publisher.

Selling content online is a lot like selling content offline: you need an audience, you need to keep them engaged, and you need a publishing rhythm. Magazines and newspapers built entire businesses on it. You can do the same with your Boxes.

1

Be a regular contributor

Your audience wants to hear from you on a schedule. Magazines built their businesses on periodical issues — you should do the same with your Boxes. Aim for one new Box every one to two weeks. Consistency is what turns one-off buyers into repeat fans.

2

Advertise your work

Use social media to spread the word. Sharing good content is the secret to popularity — and advertising, at its core, is about reaching as many people as possible, as often as possible.

Don't be shy with self-promotion. Create premium content Boxes and share them on every platform where your audience already follows you.

3

Turn your followers into promoters

Our referral program lets your followers earn money by sharing your Boxes — a 5% referral fee on every sale that comes through their link. Ask your most engaged fans to be promoters. They feel part of the action, they make some money, and you get reach you couldn't buy.
