Getting noticed

August 2nd, 2010
me and my friend were talking about getting noticed on this site. theres so many good photographers that are really popular and i think its kind of hard to get your pictures notice and get comments. So how can you get more noticed?
And im not talking about just me but anyone in general.
So on that note im going to point out people that i really like with not so many veiws

They are both really good, thanks for pointing them out.

thanks for sharing those albums- both have some really great stuff! As far as your question regarding how to get noticed on here- my advice is to follow people and comment on as many photos that you can, people are more likely to follow you and comment on your stuff this way!

hi laney!

thank you for bringing their projects to my attention. i enjoyed looking at their photos, and yours as well :) i love how you are so creative with your self-portraits :)
personally i've discovered some really wonderful photos and talented people on the Browse and Pick thread. :)

I checked out the two you had listed. They do have some nice photos. They need to follow people and comment on the photos they look at, and explore as many others as possible. They should zero in on individuals of intrerest based on style, subjects, etc. of their liking. If I notice that someone follows me, I do so in return. It can become quite time consuming, especially if you are following a large number of people, but it all depends on how much time you have to invest, and what your motives are. I truly enjoy looking at the photos posted, and I try to commnet on every photo I look at.

They're both great. I know what you mean about getting noticed. It is tough! It just takes a lot of effort.

I asked this when I first joined this site. When people have since asked how to get noticed I give them the same advice I was given a few months ago: comment frequently, follow people and generally just be an active participant of this online community. If you have quality photos too that helps!

I agree - I've found some brilliant projects with amazing work in with less than 5 followers sometimes (no idea what they are off the top of my head)

Thanks for bringing these to my attention :)

My biggest piece of advise would be to follow as many people as you can and then more people will start following you and get you all noticed more. I follow Carly which is one you have listed above. I will check the other out and yours too... : )

I will usually follow anyone who follows me and I also check out the people who follow other people I follow to find new people. Like others have said, comment often and be active on the site. There are several threads that can help get you noticed. One I started really took off and has now spilled over to the 5th thread of it....it's called Browse and Pick......It's a great thread for finding new people to follow and having yourself exposed to others.

I will check out those new 365'ers, for sure--thanks for posting them! Maybe a "Newbie" page might be nice in the future? It could be updated weekly?

And as far as your question--comment, follow, and keep commenting!! There are so many followers that just don't comment and (for me anyway) they unfortunately get lost in the shuffle. This is a reciprocal site or you might as well just load your photos onto your own computer for yourself, right?

Thank you Laney, that is very kind of you. And yes I agree with all these comments, 365 is a community and it requires some getting involved to get noticed, something I have not been very good at. But it's becoming very addictive and I'm pleased to be a part of it!
