Viewing Parameters of a ClickaSnap Photo Platform Profile

Viewing Parameters of a ClickaSnap photo platform profile

This data is for one specific subscriber so other result may vary. The profile is: Lens4anEye

First a few initial conditions. The account presented here has been active since the end of January 2023. At the writing of this article it has been 7 months. About 600 other
subscribers have opted to follow it.  There are 1355 images in the set an have collectively had 35,300 views. These views have generated about $126 total revenues.

Some of the statistics which have been gleaned from the sites reporting functions are as follows.

  •     Over the life of the profile the average daily Paid-view ratio is 40%.
  •     On a daily basis the ratio can be as high as 70% and as low as 18%.
  •     Intraday ratios can vary greatly starting out very high and falling in subsequent hours.
  •     Contrary to conventional wisdom the greater View counts result in the lower Paid-view ratios.
  •     Currently and until Sept 4 the difference between subscriber views and non-subscriber views can/could be determined from the Notifications. That ratio for this profile has been about 60% subscribers to 40% anonymous visitors.
  •     Social media marketing (FB, X, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, et al) generate Views and Paid-views which arrive as anonymous.
  •     Anonymous views cannot be Liked or Commented.
  •     There doesn’t appear to be a significant difference between subscribers and non-subscribers when it comes to conversion from ordinary Views to Paid-views. This suggests to me that the awareness of viewing an image for5 seconds to register a fee has little impact on whether the person actually dwells the 5 second interval.
  •     Of the approximately 1300 visitors to this profile around 1000 have visited only once. Less than 10% have returned more than 5-10 times.
  •     This profile follows about 450 other profiles. It only visits about 100 of them. Many profiles are tagged for characteristics such as no images, user not found, cats&dogs, food, flowers, vacay shots, AI gen, less than 50 images, not my interest, favored profile, gt 500, gt 1000. These tags assist with time management when deciding who to check in on.
  •     Visiting a profile which is new or has only a few images is not productive. They are still in the visitor log so they are able to be located at a later date. Many remain as in compelling as they were after a first visit.

Take a few minutes to stop by and see the pictures.

ClickaSnap is a good place to archive your best images and have people get to see them.

The Sellers Market needs some major updates. If you do an offer of free digital downloads, the system will send it but will not let you know it did. Knowing is essential.

Getting your brand out into the real world is the best use for CAS. Building links for your photos with searchable tags will enhance your traffic. That traffic needs to include actual physical sales because pay-per-view revenue is so nominal.  10000 paid views at the highest rate generates $90.  At the conversion rate of 40% as mentioned above, that number needs to be 14000 total views, irrespective of how many photos your profile has.

Obviously the more images uploaded the more views you can expect.

Left Brain - Right Brain

Left Brain - Right Brain [ Lens4anEye ] My left brain writes a story, punctuates the sentences and proofs the content. My right brain sees the the pictures and focuses the camera to capture the images which are also the story. In reality it is usually the image side leading the context side through to the final presentation.  It takes both sides working simultaneously to get the job done. One cannot exist without the other. They say a picture is worth a thousand words but getting the picture takes far longer. I’m my world a picture is worth a thousand miles. <=== Click here for larger image ===   The usual approach is to select a destination, choose the mode of transportation and hit the road or airways, et al. While my right brain is busy getting the photography just right, my left side is recording what I think about it. Then when the images are done the words can follow. Every image tells a story and every story conjures an image.   Both aspects are e...

It just Goes to Show Ya, You Never Know

It just Goes to Show Ya, You Never Know Marketing efforts for any product or service can take off on a tangent at any time. Just when you think your efforts are not bearing fruit, there it is. So it is with my Lens4anEye profile. National Road Toll House I would post a ClickaSnap image link in my Facebook page and on some of the Groups in which I am a member. It would get a view or two here and there. Even by posting an image in one or other of the "related" ClickaSnap Facebook groups would get nary a view or comment. But then one day I pasted the link to my Braddock album in a Braddock, PA Facebook group and the members of that group rallied to the album and generated over 1000 collective views of 21 photos. It happened all in a 48 hour period before the listing aged down their page and out of view. I tried to do the same approach for my Pittsburgh album in Pittsburgh related groups with only minimal results. Other towns and album subject were likewise disappointi...

Photo Selling Platform

Image
When I signed up for using the ClickASnap.com photo sharing platform I was drawn to to as a place where I could display my photographs and generate sales of prints. The marketing copy said they were a global operation and people would be able to see my work and go to the integrated Seller Shop to purchase what they had just been seeing. A perc was that people who who viewed my pictures long enough would generate a small revenue. At the Free subscription the amount would be $0.001 per view and $0.009 per view at the Pro subscription level. I opted for the Pro subscription and generated about $180 in the first 12 months. It's not a great deal of money but it does pay for the subscription fee (for the current year and now for 2024).  All the work I did to prepare images was not for the token view-fee but for the exposure being on an international, long established platform would get for my photography. In that first 12 month period 45,000 + views were registered with about 46% of the...
