Promote ebid.net on Flickr

[busylizziecrafts]

Hi Madelaine

I'm new to Flickr and still learning !

Are we allowed to add links to items we have for sale? ......do we put them in the comments box?

Many thanks

[madelaine]

I put them in the title and, yes, it is allowed

I would be subtle. I got kicked off Flickr, when I frst attempted to promote ebid.net.
The irony is, is that the guy who got me kicked off was quite active on a "boycott ebay" group on Flickr.

The best approach to promoting ebid.net on Flickr is exactly that - promote ebid.net first, then yourself second, but either way try to be subtle - ebay has sympathisers everywhere who are ready to put the boot in where they believe there is an attempt to undermine ebay.

I forgot I was signed up to flickr - havent used it in ages but have just signed up to a couple of groups.

I noticed that discussions on the boycott group have been locked though

I've been spreading my pictures around Flickr - concentrating on ones that are nothing to do with ebid but, of course, when people follow the link trail back to my profile, or into one of my other groups, they will often find ebid is there.

Just added a couple of pictures to the Ebid.net group + links to my stores here i the intro thread

Anyone given Flickr a go yet?

Was that not a horse or a dolphin on the TV in the 70's, lol

Flicker on the other hand was the unwitting star of a Round the Horne joke

"Paw, do you have to shoot Flicker?"
"Yes, son, I must"
"Really, Paw, do must you?"
"Yes, son, it has to be done"
"But, Paw, you said I could do it!"

Bump.

Come on folks. Click here and get yourself a Flickr account.

You really can reach a LOT of people there and as Flickr is primarily a place to store your images, you can also host your additional auction images here.

Also join the Flickr ebid group, post pictures of the stuff your selling on the group, and discuss all things ebid.net.

There are also STACKS of groups you can join, related to your specialism

No matter how obscure, there is probably a group on Flickr to cater for it

So if you sell Filing Cabinets, for instance, there is a group dedicated to this here Put your filing cabinets pictures in this group and SUBTLY mention ebid.net

If you sell toilet rolls there is a group dedicate to that here

And of course it is easy to start a group of your own.
