 One thing that's important for both stock photo sites as well as social media sites is to upload quality photos regularly Now this can take a lot of time So my solution is to schedule out the photos in this video I'm going to show you how I schedule out three weeks worth of photos to upload to nine different sites And it only takes me about 15 minutes. Let's get started. Hi. My name is James Wheeler I'm a travel landscape photographer and I try to upload photos online pretty regularly But over the past couple weeks, I've been really busy with other projects I just haven't had time and I really haven't been uploading photos I know I'm gonna be busy for the next three weeks as well So what I'm gonna do today is we're gonna go in and schedule photos to be automatically uploaded for the next three weeks So I don't have to worry about and I can focus on my other projects. Let me show you how I'm gonna do it So I have nine photos that I've already Processes and they're ready to upload. I try to upload different photos just to make my feed a bit more interesting Now the first thing that I always do is I go and I set up the metadata in light room And what I mean by that is if I go down here, I first can look at the tags so I typically will go and Have these tags set up for the entire shoot. So like if I go out for a day I was at National Park here and I'll tag the entire day and then when my pics come out from there They'll have the tags so you can see that I've already gone through and just added some Different tags and keywords associated to each of these photos Now the next thing I do in Lightroom is I go through and I enter in the caption The title the copyright as well as the location information and the GPS information for each photo So each of the different sites use different portions of this metadata, but I always enter it all in in Lightroom first So now that I've got all these photos set up I'll go ahead and export them. So I always do a full JPEG export These ones I'll just upload on my desktop so they're easy to find And now Lightroom will go through and export them. The next thing I'll do is I'll go and I'll get into photo Lou now photo Lou is what I use to schedule and my post my photos to all the different sites Okay, so now that I've got all my photos exported on my computer I'm going to use photo Lou to schedule them out over the next three weeks. Let me show you to do it So what I can do here is just go through and I'm just going to post all my sites So these are the sites that I have already linked and set up in photo Lou Now because I entered in my title and description in Lightroom I will just leave these the same the title and description I keep in Lightroom is the one that's like my social title and description which I use on like flicker and smug mug But typically they'll type in another stock description. That's like a keyword rich for the stock sites, so Next I'll go through and I'll choose my keywords Just make it quick. I'll probably just choose all of them. That looks pretty good Now the next thing I'll do is I typically will go through and copy my keywords I'm gonna grab these keywords that I just Entered through for Lou and I'm gonna move them back and put them back in my keywords for my photo The reason I do this is I just like to have all those keywords in Lightroom So it easily organize my photos All right, so now I'm gonna go through here Enter my Facebook post I'll go ahead and copy my description here Next I'll set up my Instagram post And I'll go through and use my hashtags and I've got a bunch of hashtags saved for BC So I'm just gonna use my favorite hashtags. I'll grab those then I might grab a couple of extra ones as well too Just to try some different things That's pretty good Now I can go through here and see where my photos are gonna be posted now instead of posting to all my sites now I'm gonna schedule for later So what I think I'll do is for this one I'm gonna schedule it for tomorrow, which is Friday and I typically Like to post about three photos a week So I think I'll probably schedule one for Monday Wednesday Friday for the next three weeks at different times during the day So they can kind of catch different people when they're online And there we go. That's the first photo scheduled Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and schedule the rest of the photos But I'll speed it up there so you don't have to watch me go through the process again You can kind of watch the clock over here to see how I'm doing on time So now for the next three weeks my photos are gonna automatically be uploaded to the different sites And I don't need to worry about I can focus on my other projects If you like this type of video make sure you subscribe I'll put a link up here somewhere for you to subscribe to my channel And also if you'd like to learn how much money I've made selling my photos with this process I'll put a link to a photo where I go through that somewhere down here. Best of luck selling your photos online
