Upload them continuously<br />

Try not to overload your Flickr account and your contacts by uploading a lot of<br />

photos at once. Keep the upload stream low and upload just 1-2 photos a day.<br />

You may upload one in the morning and one in the evening. Like this your<br />

photos get the biggest attention. Depending on your location you may upload<br />

your photos at the time when the biggest Flickr crowd (probably the USA) is<br />

getting up in the morning. You may also change the time when you upload<br />

and figure out when it's best to do so. The point of time, when you upload a<br />

photo, is very important.<br />

Geo-tag your photos<br />

Flickr has a feature to tag the location of your photos. Just make a use of it.<br />

Especially when you search in a certain area like a city you visit, you may want<br />

to find the good spots for street photography or find some good photographers<br />

who are in that city very often to shoot their photos. With the map and<br />

the view option you can really find a lot of good photos.<br />

Tag your photos<br />

A lot of marketing people search in Flickr for photos they want to use for different<br />

publications. The better you tag your photos, the higher the chances<br />

are that they find your photos. You can have up to 75 tags per photo as a Pro<br />

user. Use this feature as it is quite handy. You can also mass tag your photos<br />

in "Organize & Create" which is even easier. Please don't use tags which don't<br />

apply to your photos just to get attention. It's about marketing, not about<br />

spamming.<br />

Add your photos to groups<br />

With a pro account, you can add your photos to 60 groups (10 on a free account)<br />

in Flickr. Use this option to get your photos visible to a big audience.<br />

First of all you have to join a group, before you can add photos. It's important<br />

that you only post photos to groups related to street photography or at least<br />

about what is visible on your photo. I have posted my shoes also in the "Foot<br />

Fetish" and "High Heels" group just to be sure that these people have also<br />

something from my photos. Since nobody complained so far, I guess it is fine.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
