 Alright in this video I'm going to show you how to increase your social media likes as well as your stock photography sales. Now if you're uploading your photos online there's a lot of different sites to choose from. You can do the social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and Flickr, the stock photography sites like Alamy and Shutterstock or the photography focus sites like Flickr and SmugMug. Now if you want to get your photos like and sold you're going to have to do more than just upload them. You're also going to have to go through and add descriptions and hashtags and keywords. And it's slightly different for each site that you upload to. This can take a lot of time. And that's why we developed a website called PhotoLU. It streamlines the process so it makes it much easier for you to get your photos upline, found and sold more quickly. Let me show you how it works. So before I start the three minute timer I've already edited my photo in Lightroom and exported as a JPEG. Now I'm going to show you how I upload it to all of my social and stock sites. I'm going to start on the PhotoLU login page. Let's start the timer now. So you can sign up for PhotoLU for free at PhotoLU.com. But I'm going to login with the user I already have set up. First I choose the photo I want to upload to all the different sites. These are the sites I'm going to upload to. All the major social sites like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. And the stock sites like Shutterstock, Alamy and Adobe Stock. And my photography website SouvenirPixels.com which runs on SmugMug. I typically enter the photo title and description in Lightroom. Then PhotoLU reads it from the MetaBot data. So I can change it here but this one looks good to me. So I'll just use this for SmugMug and Flickr which both allow a title and description. The description I entered in Lightroom wasn't a good stop description. So I'm going to enter a more keyword rich description to be used on the stock sites here. Next I need to add in my keywords. Now I have already added some keywords to the entire shoot in Lightroom. But I want to add some more photo specific keywords. So I'm choosing them from the suggested keywords. Typically I like to have at least 30 keywords per image. That looks pretty good. Now Facebook has only a post, not a title and description like Flickr. But I'll just put my title on a separate line from my description and post it to Facebook. Now for the tweet. I'm going to take my photo description and add some additional hashtags to it before I tweet it. Next is Instagram. I'm going to use the same title and description for Instagram. Then I have a group of hashtags that I've saved as favorites. I'm going to add those first. Now I'm going to go in and add some additional suggested hashtags at different levels of popularity. Now I can review what's going to be posted to each site before either posting it now or scheduling it later. I'll just post it right now. Now here's where the magic happens. Photolue is taking that photo and uploading it to all the sites. Now as the photos are uploaded, the spinning arrows will turn into checkboxes. The green checkboxes indicate that the photo has been posted and I can click on the checkbox to see the post. And the sites with blue arrows require an additional post-app. Most of the stock sites require you to go in and upload releases and set a category before submitting. Since this photo has no releases, this is pretty quick. Olamini is the only stock site that will auto submit for you. But if there are people in the photo, you will still need to go back into Olamini as well and upload the releases for the photo. Instagram has one more step. I already have the Photolue app installed on my phone, so I received a notification to finish the post with the app. I need to go through the standard Instagram pages. When I get to the description section, I can just paste in the description the hashtags. And that's it. Check the timer. I finished in under three minutes. Now what do you think?
