Photographers join photo-sharing platforms in hopes of gaining viewership, building an audience and having an online portfolio of their photos. But sooner or later, they unravel the truth about their chosen platform i.e., its’ algorithm actively hides their photos from their followers and panders to financially lucrative content, one that has a marketing budget behind it. From Facebook to Instagram, it’s not enough to just have a certain number of followers, in order to have your photos appear on your followers’ timeline, you have to spend money in most cases. Such an algorithm takes the focus away from content quality and puts it on the platform’s financial interests. Such platforms, however lucrative for the company, do little to help photographers achieve their aforementioned goals.
This is where ClickASnap has been a heaven-send for photographers who are serious about their craft. Rather than have a finance-focused algorithm at play, photos on ClickASnap appear chronologically, which means that every photo you share will appear organically on your followers’ timeline. This works on two fronts. One that is helps photographers gain exposure and second it ensures that your followers can see the content that they chose to follow rather than get manipulated and exposed to content that is only financially lucrative to the platform.
On top of that, where other platforms ask you to accept their terms of use, which state that the platform can allow third parties to use your photos without paying you anything, ClickASnap does not ask for any rights over your content. When you share your photos on ClickASnap, you continue to remain the sole owner of your content. This especially comes in handy if you are looking to sell your photos, which again, you can on ClickASnap’s marketplace. The biggest incentive to buy and sell photos on the ClickASnap marketplace is that all proceeds from the sale go to the content creator. ClickASnap doesn’t charge any royalties on the content sold on their marketplace.
Having said that, selling photos on ClickASnap isn’t the only way photographers can earn a living. ClickASnap works in a way like Spotify or YouTube but for photographers. Where those platforms pay you per stream without having to sell your content, ClickASnap pays photo creators for every qualified view that their photos receive. The visitors have to spend only 5 seconds viewing a photo and that’s it! ClickASnap will pay photographers per view, giving them a way to earn a steady income while completely owning rights to their photos and without having to sell their content.
ClickASnap offers what photographers, both amateur and professional, crave today. It offers them an opportunity to earn a living, hold rights to their photos and build a following on a single platform.
