How to Create a Flickr Schedule
Flickr is one of the most popular photo sharing networks. According to Compete.com, Flickr received over 26 million unique visitors in January 2010. Tapping into this network can be both fun and beneficial for your company. However, many of us are caught in our busy schedules and simply can’t find the time to engage on Flickr. After creating a Twitter Schedule, I realized that making manageable schedules is a great tool for engaging, interacting and maintaining an active presence on any social network.
In many cases 15 minute a day is all you need. Like they say, 15 minutes a day keeps the cobwebs away…well maybe “they” is just me.
Each person’s individual schedules will vary, but below is my proposed schedule for engaging on Flickr on a consistent basis.
|
Day of the Week |
Activity |
|
Monday
|
Upload Photo Day- upload 2 photos to your Flickr photostream (make sure to include all the fixings – title, description, tags). |
|
Tuesday
|
Commenting Day – find 2 or 3 photos your contacts or other people have uploaded and make a comment on the photo. Show your appreciation for other people’s contributions to the Flickr community. |
|
Wednesday
|
New Contact Day – make a new friend by adding someone as a contact. This is a great way to meet interesting people and to find great photographers. |
|
Thursday
|
Group Participation Day – there are many great photo groups on Flickr. Find some you are interested in and participate. For example, Guess Where Vancouver is a fun group where members guess where photos were taken in Vancouver. |
|
Friday
|
Commenting Day – find another 2 or 3 photos and make a comment. |
|
Saturday
|
Photo Day – Take 2 photos for Flickr |
|
Sunday
|
Rest Day – We all deserve a day to rest. |
Give it a try and let me know how it goes. Improve your “Flickr” life.
