How to Share Your Photos Through Creative Commons

3539416389_6abeaaa55d Adding photos to your blog posts is a great way of making them more eye-catching. However, the cost of royalty-free imagery starts to add up, and you also don't want to end up being sued because you used photos without permission.

That's why I use photos from Flickr with the Creative Commons license. As long as I give attribution to the appropriate photos, I'm in the clear.

Which got me thinking: why don't I offer up my photos to other bloggers in the hopes that they'll give me attribution and link back to my Flickr page, increasing my online visibility? I wasn't sure how to go about it, but it turns out it's pretty simple, as this video, How to Share Your Photos Through Creative Commons will show you.

You can share your photos through Creative Commons on Flickr here.

  2. Yeah, it would be bad to get sued for something like that, but great idea not only for protection but promotion…
