Flickr As Free Advertising

Writing by Social Marketing Journal on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 Comments (1)

It seems just about every one has a Flickr account nowadays, but the question is why don’t you?

It’s free, it’s indexed numerous places, and depending on your picture, it has the potential of going viral. If you are going to be putting up a MySpace profile, and you have pictures you want to post anyway, why not put them on Flickr? You need to upload them somewhere anyway, so you can kill two birds with one stone.

What type of pictures should you upload though? Show off your business, let people see events you’ve had, have an internal contest in your company that challenges your employees to do something creative (the best type of content for going viral) and then put the results on the account. The more pictures, the better, because with each picture, your odds of a potential customer/client of coming across it accidentally goes up.

And best of all, it costs you nothing. Have you noticed how much social marketing really costs you nothing but a little time?
