 Now today is an exciting day for me because today we're taking photo lew out of beta and we're releasing an unlimited version In this video I'm going to talk a bit about how we got to where we are today Talk about the future of photo lew and later on in the video. I'm going to be giving you a huge discount code My name is James Wheeler and I'm one of the co-founders of photo lew if you're not familiar with photo lew It's an online tool for photographers and our mission is to help photographers succeed online So we started developing photo lew back in 2016 and we released it to public beta in February of 2017 So it's been over two and a half years in beta Now that's a long time for a piece of software to be in beta but we wanted to make sure that people were getting value out of the software before we took it out of beta and So even after we fixed all the major bugs We kept adding features and making improvements to make the software more useful Now we've always prioritized the features we build based on the feedback from you the beta testers and over the past three or four months the number one piece of feedback We're getting is people want us the ability to remove the 10 photo a week upload limit And that's what we're doing today. All right before I get into the details I really just wanted to say thank you to all of you for all the words of encouragement the Suggestions the feedback the subscriptions to the YouTube channel all of this kept us really motivated to keep making photo lew better One of the reasons it took so long as we've bootstrapped the development of photo lew But now two and a half years later over 16,000 people have signed up for photo lew, which is just amazing for us If you've been following the YouTube channel, you'll know that photography is my hobby not my full-time career My full-time careers is a software developer and I've been doing that for about 20 years And for the past 10 years what I've been doing is I've been helping you know sales and marketing teams at large companies Optimize their workflows. Now the reason I've been doing this for 10 years is I like it I like optimizing workflows So when I started uploading and selling my photos online my mind immediately went to there must be an easier way to do this So I built some scripts for myself to help automate the workflow of uploading my photos to social and stock sites And over time they worked for me I started to make a side income selling my photos online and I was really happy with that So originally these scripts were just for me But then one weekend I was out with one of my university buddies Hamad and he's a product developer at a large gaming systems company works on a lot of games You probably know and we started talking and we thought well Maybe this would be useful for other people as well and photo Lou was born in here We are three years later releasing the unlimited version of photo Lou now the unlimited version of photo Lou is a subscription you can pay either monthly or yearly and it gives you access to all the features without any limits The monthly price is eight dollars and if you want to do yearly than at sixty dollars a year So that's going to be the standard pricing But as a thank you to all of you for all your encouragement in getting us here We're going to be offering a 50 lifetime discount if you sign up over the next two weeks So if you log into your account and upgrade use the coupon code Thank you and you'll get 50 off either subscription Now that coupon code is going to be available and active until october 14th at around nine o'clock pst Now this 50 code is really meant for you the beta testers But we're not going to limit it So if you know someone else who would benefit from photo Lou unlimited you can share the code with them Just make sure to let them know that it's going to expire in two weeks Now our mission is to help photographers succeed online and the first step in what the software does today is Helps with the posting and uploading workflow But we've got a lot of great ideas to improve the current software as well as create other tools to help Photographers succeed online and that's why this is really exciting because having the Unlimited paid version is going to allow us to allocate more resources and to building more tools for photographers One thing to notice that we are not getting rid of the free version of photo Lou We still plan to have a free version of photo Lou with limits available indefinitely And you do need to sign up for the free version first before you can get the unlimited version So if you don't have a photo to account I'll put a link up here where you can sign up if you do you can log into your account And then click the upgrade button to get a free trial of photo Lou unlimited for 14 days and you can cancel anytime And again, thank you for all your support whether it be words of encouragement, you know feature requests Subscribing to the youtube channel liking the video all of it helps And know that this paid version of photo Lou is not the end game for us Our immediate goal is to have 10 000 photographers Integrate photo Lou into their workflow now We've had more than 10 000 people sign up for photo Lou But not all of them have completely integrated photo Lou into their workflow. So that's what we're working towards So if you have any suggestions on features or improvements that can get us closer to that goal I would love to hear them our next release is going to be really focused on the mobile workflow And allowing you to post photos from your phone to multiple sites But we haven't decided on what major features we're going to work on after the next release So now go ahead log into your account and try the free version of photo Lou unlimited for 14 days Let me know what you think Also, stay tuned on this channel next week. I'm going to post a new video about how to set up your photo Lou account And the week after that I'm going to post another video about how to optimize your workflow with photo Lou I've done these videos before in the past But they're kind of at a date because we've changed the software a lot since they were released So I'm going to redo new ones so you can learn how to take advantage of all the features that we have in photo Lou Best of luck selling your photos online
