A New group on Flickr you might like to join

I especially like the make 19th Octobre buy it on ebid day. Be nice if that took off. It will only take off though with exposure and word of mouth.

It would have far more chance of taking off if eBid promoted it themselves, or is that too much to ask for

It would, indeed, be great if ebid did more promotion but we can't make them. We can only do our best for our own businesses and it seems to me that we do that best when we promote together.

Flickr has huge potential and I try to do all those things booksforsale suggests in the gaps in my time.

The fact that no-one could be bothered to answer this except you, books, speaks volumes.

No, but I noticed it as soon as I hit the submit reply button.

Over 4,300 hits on my photostream so far.

I've also had several groups request that I add some of my pictures to their pools.

Oh yes, the photostream has grown again! - http://www.flickr.com/photos/sellingonebid/

Would you guys say that flickr is more likely to generate interest in ebid and our stores than say facebook and twitter?

I have been updating my Flickr account this morning:

The key to Flickr is to get your account photostream noticed, and through your actions get other ebid users' accounts noticed.

You do this by:

• adding your photos to groups. It is important you add your photos to both ebid and non-ebid, (but relevant) related groups.
  
• Leave comments on other peoples photos to get your account noticed.
  
• Leave comments on ebid users photos, to get their images a higher rank in the Flickr search engine.
  
• Favourite other peoples photos to get your account noticed.
  
• Favourite ebid users photos, to get their images a higher rank in the Flickr search engine.
  
• Make sure you add people as contacts, chances are they will reciprocate, which helps expose them to ebid.
  
• If you can add your normal photos, as well as ebid related stuff, this will attract people who are interested in the subject matter
  
• Make sure you tag/keyword your photos, otherwise no-one is going to find them (two important tags being ebid and ebid.net).
  
• When you join a group make sure you contribute to the discussions and add new questions/threads., especially our own groups

I know that all might sound long winded, it is not. If you find it is, just do each step one day at a time.

All account activity helps ebid to be seen. Browsing Flickr is also quite enjoyable if you are interested in photography, or you find a group with an interest you share.

Let us know what you have bought on ebid and how was the experience?

I have also been joining many other groups of relevant interest to the items posted e.g. there are literally 100s of postcard groups to join if you sell postcards !

Off to do some more updating/uploading
