Greeting Pics

+ From funny animal pictures, Pictures Concept and SEO

What does 2010 have in store for me? More funny animal pictures (for my efforts with CafePress, Imagekind, Greeting Cards, and all veterinarians and animal handlers as e-mail me trying to use these pictures), more photos concept particular, Blend Images, Superstock, Getty and Corbis, and other interviews and blogs.

All these answers will contribute to the most important aspect of my SEO effort underway in providing quality content for my website.

Increased demand, more money and higher prices

If nothing else it will be interesting to see where the image industry goes from here. Clearly, as the economy recovers, there will be both an increased demand for images and a willingness to spend more money on them, although I do not think the price levels rebound before the recession. But I expect prices in the area to increase microstock.

It will continue to be a lot of free pictures and many very low prices, but did so with iStock Vetta, there will be more offerings at prices higher. When RF arrived on the scene, the prices were not much higher than levels microstock, but gradually the prices rose so far, in many cases, prices are significantly higher RF than RM!

, Stock Microstock, and fading of the traditional Community

I also think that more and more there will be less separation between the micro and traditional materials. After all, it is all hardware, all at different prices. The trend started by Veer and Fotolia offer shares of all classes in one place will continue.

The "community" aspect begins to fade as microstock micro is absorbed deeper into the folds of the traditional players such as Getty and Corbis, microstock and as is increasingly dominated by professional shooters and those who excel at micro produce large quantities of high quality images.

Millions of dollars and Image Theft

Another area to watch is the evolution burglar led by companies like PicScout, LicenseStream, TinEye and C-transplant. Millions, even billions, of dollars are lost by the infringement of copyright and licensing rights unfulfilled potential is just too big a piece of the pie to go unclaimed.

The question is where, rather than if, the flight will get reigned in image ... and how the increased revenue found its way into the pockets of photographers and not in the pockets of distributors.

Create photos, imprinted products and SEO

I'd probably make more money in the short term by devoting less time to my Internet and SEO efforts, and the creation of pictures, but I believe very much in the long run it will be to my advantage enormous develop both my web presence and increase my personal brand.

Also, my strategy for creating more stupid pet photos for the distribution of printed photo, and to increase my sales of printing (Imagekind), also based on increased Web traffic and high rankings in search engines .

2010, a year Awesome

Thus, in the year ahead, it will be more than what I did in 2009. I am totally convinced that 2010 will be a great year, partly because I intend to make an incredible year, and partly because, well, 2010 came just the language so well!
