This week my special guest is Zach Prez from PhotographySpark.com If you’re thinking about getting your images online Zach goes over a few things you’ll want to think about including:
- is Facebook enough for creating a web presence?
- free blog options like Blogger.com vs. self hosted like WordPress.org
- having a good naming convention for images for search-ability and SEO (search engine optimization)
- optimal file sizing so images online load quickly
- creating a brand and labeling your images with it
