Invite Your Friends To See A Photograph In Your Flickr Stream
Written by Anurag Bhateja on October 10, 2009 – 6:27 am -A lot of people who are using flickr, might have got invite from their friends to see their photograph. The invite comes via flickr and the photograph and a link to photograph is embedded in the photograph in an automated manner. This is a great feature when you want to ask your friends to check the photograph you have uploaded recently. The following tutorial will let you understand how this thing works.
First of all login to your flickr profile and open the photograph for which you want to send the invite.
Now scroll down and look for “Send to a friend” and click on it.
Now you can either type in the name of the person from your flickr contact list and a smaller clickable list will be visible or you can send it to a mail ID.
If you want to add a custom message you can add otherwise a standard message will be there in the invite.
Enjoy sending photographs

Flickr Secrets: Getting More Views – 2
Written by Anurag Bhateja on November 17, 2008 – 10:05 am -Sometime back I made a post on How to get more views on flickr profile? . Now there are some more points which can be kept in mind to get more visits and comments on your profile.
First let me tell you what is the need of getting more views on flickr profile? Flickr is a place where pro and amature photographers post their photographs. When the visitor number and comment number on the photographs is high, their is more chance of getting noticed by the Photo Stockists or we can say buyers (KEEP THIS IN MND THAT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS SHOULD BE WORTH BUYING OTHERWISE THERE IS NO MEANING OF ALL THIS. I DON’T WANT TO DISAPPOINT BUT THE THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT “YOU CAN NOT AFFORD TO STOP LEARNING”)
So here we go:
1. Always try to learn what someone is doing with photographs and if you feel he/she has worth watch photostream add him/her as contact. Always try to see the work and comment preferably in positive manner.
2. Do comment on the photographs which come in explore.
3. Always comment on the photographers’ stream who have commented on your profile.
4. Always keep your comments neat and understandable.
5. Try to invite photographs to groups you are Admin or you are member by using the invite option or invite codes.
6. If you feel that a personal mail to the photographer can show your thoughts more clearly about the photograph, NEVER HESITATE AND MAIL.
Flickr is a river where every fish has her own space. Respect that space and try to be NICE.
