 Alright, in this video I'm going to show you how to set up your Fortaloo account. If you don't already have an account, there'll be a link down in the description for this video that you can use to sign up for a free account. Now after you've set up your account, what you're going to be able to do is upload one photo to Fortaloo and then have it posted and uploaded to all of your linked accounts. Now when you upload a photo via Fortaloo, we have a lot of other really cool tools that are going to help you get more likes and sales, like a hashtag generator or automatic key wording. But before you can use those, you need to connect all of your other photography accounts to your Fortaloo account. Currently it's possible to link Fortaloo to Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Bigstock Photo, Alamy, Facebook Pages, Twitter, Flickr, Smugmug and Instagram. But we're constantly adding new sites, I don't always get around to uploading a new video for when we add new sites. So to get a complete list of the sites that we're supporting today, go and take a look at Fortaloo.com. Now let's jump into the website and I'll show you how to connect your accounts with Fortaloo. Currently there's three different places that you can go to connect your accounts. First, when you log into your account for the first time, you're going to see a setup wizard. Now this will take you through and show you all the buttons to link your accounts. The first page will show you the buttons for the social accounts and then you can go to the next page which will show you the stock accounts. If you've already gone through the setup wizard then you can see a link to the accounts that you haven't connected yet from the upload page or if you click on the sidebar and click on options, you'll be able to see the buttons for all the accounts that you've linked and the ones you haven't linked. For this video, I'll be using the buttons on the upload page but just know that the buttons in the setup wizard and in the options page work exactly the same way. Now I'm going to start by linking the social sites and then after that I'll get in and show you how to link the stock sites. If you're primarily interested in for Lou for stock photography sites, go take a look at the description and I'll put the timing for when I start talking about stock and then you can just jump ahead to that point. First, I'm going to link my Facebook page. Now, Facebook doesn't allow us to upload photos to your profile page so Facebook pages is the only option here. Just click on the button. Now, if you've logged into Facebook recently, you may skip the login page but I haven't so I need to log in here. Next, just click continue. Then go and choose the page you want for Lou to upload to click next. Next, you can change these options. Make sure you include manage your pages and publish as pages you manage. Otherwise, for Lou won't be able to upload photos to your page. Then click done. After you click O clay, you'll be redirected back to photo Lou where you can choose the page that you want for Lou to post to click okay. And you're done. You've linked your Facebook page. Next, we'll link smug but click the link to smug mug. And again, if you've logged in to smug one recently, you may not see this login page, but I haven't so I need to log in here. You should see this page come up and then you'll be redirected back to for Lou where you'll be able to choose which album you want your photos to be posted to. I'm going to choose my photo blog and click okay. And that's it. I've now linked my smug mug account. Next is flicker click the link. Then log into your flicker account. Then click okay. I'll authorize it. And you should be redirected back to photo Lou where you've successfully linked your account and on to Twitter. Enter username and password if you haven't logged in recently. And you should just get redirected back to photo Lou and your account is successfully linked. Next, we'll do Instagram. So click the link to Instagram button. And you're going to get a message that tells you need to download the mobile app. So if you're on iOS, you can download the app from the app store. If you're on Android, you can get it from Google Play. You need to install the app on your phone and log into the app on your phone to be able to upload photos to Instagram. Let me go over to my phone now and I'll show you how I'm on an Android phone. So I'm going to use the Play store to install the photo Lou app. If you're on iOS, just go to the app store and do the same thing. So you can just go through and search for photo Lou. And then it should be the first option. Then you can just go ahead and install it on your phone. Shouldn't take too long. After it's installed, you can do it, give us a huge favor and go down and give us five stars before going ahead and opening the app. Now once you've opened the app, you may see some welcome screens if you haven't logged in before. I have logged in before some going straight to the login page. But once you go past those welcome screens, you'll see the login page, you just need to log in with the username and password that you set up for photo Lou. And that's it. Now that you've logged into the app, your photo Lou on your phone is connected to the photo Lou web app. You probably won't see these photos here because I've used photo Lou before and I've already posted with Instagram, you can see that I've got some photos popping up. But that's it. Now you've linked to Instagram, you're ready to start posting photos to your Instagram feed from your phone via the app. Now into the stock sites. Now shutter stock all me and big stock photo are very similar. Adobe stocks a little bit different, but I'll walk through them all starting with shutter stock to link your sort of stock account. You just need to click on this down arrow here. And then enter your shutter stock contributor email address and password. The most common reason why you can't link it is if you're using a sort of stock consumer account as opposed to a contributor account. So you want to use the email and password that you use when you log into your contributor account at submit dot shutter stock.com. After you've entered in your email address and your password, just click the link shutter stock account button. And you'll receive a message down here that says your account is successfully linked. All right, next, we'll do Adobe stock. Adobe stock is by far the most difficult account to link to link to your Adobe stock account, click the down arrow. And what you need to do is get your FTP credentials. The way that you can do that is just by clicking on this link here. And then you'll need to log in to your Adobe stock account. Now after you've logged into your Adobe stock account, go here and click on learn more. From here, you need to copy your ID and your password from here into photo loo. So grab your ID, go back to photo loo and put in the ID section. Then grab your password, go back to photo loo and put it in the password. Once you've done that, you can click link Adobe stock account. And you should receive a message that your account was successfully linked. Next, we'll do Alamy. Alamy is very similar to shutter stock. And you click the down arrow. And then you just need to enter your login email address password to link your account. And last but not least, big stock photo, click that down arrow and then enter your big stock ID and password to link the last account. And once you've linked all your accounts, you should see nothing left in the box up here. You can also move over here and look at your options and see all of your linked accounts. And this is where you could also unlink them if you ever wanted to. All right, now that you've connected all your accounts, it's time to go and upload a photo. Go and choose a JPEG file that you want to upload to all your connected accounts. Go into photo loo and click that upload button. So if you run into any issues connecting your accounts or uploading your first photo, you can just let me know in the comments below. Or when you first signed up to photo loo, I would have sent you an introduction email. You can just respond to that email with any questions and I'll help you out as best I can. Also, you can check out this video up here, which basically walks you through how you can use photo loo to upload your photos to your connected accounts. Happy uploading.
