Hi TWOpers!

We have a big announcement. Today we are starting a promo action to fill our photo agency with your best photos. Are you ready?

We are offering 25 cents for each photo that you upload and offer for sale. Those are 25 cents just for adding your photo to the TWOP Market – of course you will earn on top of that money when your photo is sold (perhaps multiple times!)

This means that you can upload up to 100 photos to the TWOP Market and instantly receive €25 in your TWOP Account just for offering your photos. Pretty great, right? But there’s more. After you upload your photos, they can be purchased over and over, earning you at least €2.50 per sale – that means quite a bit of money for you!

So give it a try! Download our app or create and account on our website, upload your photos, offer them for sale and CHA-CHING! Money in the bank.

For a more detailed description of how to upload your photos via the App or the Agency, visit www.twopapp.com!

We can’t wait to see all your beautiful shots!

Have you tried out the app yet? We are having so much fun looking at all your photos and communicating with users who are helping us make the app even better. One of our favorite platforms is Twitter – are you following us yet? We tweet the latest app news as well as useful photo tips and interesting shares from the interwebs under @TheWorldofPic!

Here are some quotes from those who heard of our idea and have tried out our app:

There are so many infographics floating around the web – we have picked out our favorite photography related infographics

1. The Rise of Mobile Photography

This infographic gives an incredibly detailed account of the changing dynamic of photography through the years.

2. A Very Useful Guide to Photography

This one is a compact guide to everything you need to know about photography, from aperture and shutter speed to ISO.

3. Photography Careers

This one is good for a laugh – you may have seen it already when we posted it on our Facebook Page!

4. Manual Photography Cheat Sheet

This is a really beautiful Infographic with some great compact information. And because you can use TWOP to upload your mobile photos with our app AND your digital/scanned photos with our web interface, this is useful information for all the TWOPers out there!

5. InFoto

This one isn’t actually an Infographic, but rather an Infographic creator! It’s an android app that sifts through the photo data on your phone and spits out a fantastic infographic about your photo habits. Cool!

PS: Don’t forget to download the TWOP app and offer your photos for sale!

Whether you are an amateur photographer or a seasoned professional, selling your photos online isn’t always easy. There are, however, a few ways that you can optimize your sales.

1. Correctly Categorize and Tag your Photos

When using the TWOP App or another online portal to upload your photos, make sure to place your photo in the appropriate category and assign relevant tags. In the photo below, (to be found here on the TWOP Market) we have chose the category “flora and fauna” and the tags “pumpkin, fall, halloween, farm, harvest”. Make sure to vary your tags so that your photo can be found by people looking for different things!

2. Upload a high resolution

At The World of Pictures Photo Agency, we offer photos for sale in two resolutions – web and print. If you are able to offer both resolution levels, you will be more likely to make a sale!

3. Photograph something unique

This goes without saying, but believe me, we have a lot of (beautiful!) photos of flowers and trees. Try photographing something that is harder to capture – an exotic animal, a view from a hard to reach vantage point. With TWOP you can earn even more money  with a photo of a news worthy event or a celebrity. And remember, the best photos are natural photos with real people (no models!)

4. Share your photo

Make sure to share your photo with your iFollow friends and your online community – you can even use the share button in the app to spread the word on Facebook and Twitter directly.- the more “likes” and views your photo receives, the higher it will appear in our Photo Agency shop rankings!

5. Get featured

We love to feature fantastic photographers here at TWOP. If you would like to be featured, send us an email at blog@theworldofpictures.com with a link to your TWOP profile!

Do you have any tips on how to best sell photos online? We’d love to hear them!

Until then – Happy TWOPing!
