Michele and Martha were talking about the milestone we should hit this weekend – 250,000 images in the Symbiostock network sites. Right now we’re at 249,912
After talking a bit about what form a promotion might take – and it doesn’t have to be the same promotion for every site – Michele and I have a selection of blog size images for 50 cents each.
I have 50 @ 50 – 50 images where the blog size is 50 cents and I’ll run that promotion through the end of the month. I’ve added a front page image and some text plus a link to the category of 50 that are a special price.

Michele has all her blog sizes at 50 cents through March 20th and plans to add a list of sites with promotions to her blog on Saturday.
Let her know if you plan to run a promotion – via the Facebook group or here or her site.
I thought about the PayPal fees on a 50 cent sale (about 32 cents) but in talking it over Michele suggested it was unlikely there’d be a ton of sales but this gives us something to post/tweet about
This sounds a good idea, I will sort something out and do a 50 @ 50 each – in my case pence rather than cents, will let you know when I have something organised.

http://nail-art-at.kerioak.com - Art and Nail ArtGreat milestone for Symbiostock! I’ll be changing the number in the Facebook header this morning and will start putting up people’s promotions on the fb page and my blog. I’d like to encourage people to join us if they’d like, and we can start a nice twitter campaign retweeting each other’s promotions as a group effort. Should we start a special hash tag? #50centblogimages or something along those lines?
Hi Shelma
Mine are not 50cents (wrong currency) but have done an offer http://kerioakimaging.com/celebrating-quarter-million-images-success/ – front page and blogged.

http://nail-art-at.kerioak.com - Art and Nail ArtHooray!!! What a beautiful round number — 250,080 — to wake up to.
I’ll set up my promo this morning. Really like the simplicity of “50 at 50” but don’t know if that will work for all of our currencies.
Personally, I believe pricing an image at 50 Cents is a really bad idea for a promotion to celebrate something.
50 Cents will leave you basically nothing, only Paypal will make money. So why not give it away for free if the purpose of this is to “promote” or to “celebrate”?
I won’t participate either way simply because I don’t believe in the advertising benefits (it will only attract people who wouldn’t pay anyway, IMO) but inviting people to pay (less) for a celebration looks to me like going only half way in.
That’s the great thing about Symbiostock…you only join in if you want to. 250,000 is a nice milestone, but you can choose to celebrate, not celebrate, promote or not promote.
I have the four promotions announced so far up on the FB page.
I don’t like dropping prices either but as it is not that easy bringing attention/customers/sales to my site then I am willing to give it a go
Thanks for the mention on FB, Michele,
I have added links to Digital Bristles, Vector999 and Ecostockimages to my blog so far – anyone else?

http://nail-art-at.kerioak.com - Art and Nail ArtIf the hash tag is #blogfor50 then it works for any currency. I’m just waking up, but if we all use a common hash tag I’ll get some tea and tweet 🙂
My 50 @ 50 images are now available on http://bestnaturestock.com/.
So, Christine, please add me to your blog list.
Thanks!
Four offers so far on my blog…let me know if I’ve missed any!
I just posted the first tweet at #blogfor50
See it here:
Celebrate! #Symbiostock network reaches 250,000 images! #blogfor50 On http://bestnaturestock.com/ get 50 blog-size bird images, only 50¢ US each.I will tweet and RT for others in the promotion too. If you’ve got a good tweet created for yourself or the whole network, please share it here.
https://twitter.com/joannsnover/status/444861765596106752
So I made a version of the promo image I’ve put on my front page for my tweet and sent it out. I’ll go put something on Facebook too.
I’ll try and do a blog post so if people who are participating post here anyone who blogs can be sure to have the full list of sites participating
