My Sites
I got quite a shock when I started to write this page and realised just how many websites I’ve got. You’ll see a partial list below! Some were major collaborations while others were thrown together in a weekend head-rush. Some are a constant labour of love while others run hands-free in the background performing admirably with no involvement from me at all.
(That’s proably why I got such a shock when I tallied the numbers … there are sites in the list below I hadn’t laid eyes on for months or even years!)
I guess I’m a bit if a web-development junkie.
I’ll see a great new website with some function or service that I haven’t seen before … and immediately start wondering how they did it and more importantly, can I apply that to ‘selling photography’. And more often than not I’ll give it a go!
I enjoy the creativitiy of the design processes, the problem solving of the development stage, and while the marketing side of things can be a bit of a grind, it’s incredibly satisfying when those first visitors start arriving and using the information or services on offer.
There’s an eclectic mix here so I’ve added a few notes to each category … just in case anyone’s interested!
OzImages Photo Stock Agency
This one’s in a category all it’s own. This was my first serious website project and it is still my number one priority. In fact the vast majority of my websites exist purely to serve OzImages … generating advertising, directing inward visitor traffic, providing additional services to photgoraphers & buyers, setting up SEO backlinks and other promotional services.
It’s been going strong for over 12 years now, and I still get great satisfaction from my daily interaction with the Member photographers. It’s very rewarding being able to lend a hand to help them establish and/or build a successful stock photography business.

Photographer Community / Portals
The next two were set up to provide a couple of ‘social’ functions for our Members Photographers and also for our ‘exit traffic’ … those people who checked us out and for one reason or another didn’t get involved. Photographers Place was geared more to the working photographers, Worlds Best Photography was originally intended for the serious amateurs.
As often happens on the internet, the ‘users’ decided differently, and today both sites have a good mix of both professional and amateur photographers and both feature some exceptional images. With over 3000 members between them, be sure to look them over and consider getting involved.

The World’s Best Photography Project
Stock Photography Marketing Websites & Blogs
These sites were basically set up to generate visitor traffic and improve our search engine listings … but again, a couple of them have taken on a life of their own and developed their own following. Most of my original content is ‘shared’ between them and specific 3rd party material is syndicated from other websites, so they’re kind of unique, kind of the same, and they all rank quite highly inthe search engines and direct some useful ‘link juice’ on the OzImages.

This is a public access version of our library calculator. It self-adjusts based on real-time user feedback … so we decided more people using it, the more accurate it would be. This site now has over 1500 members … and counting!

This is a common enough function, we just figured it was worth giving our Members a standard one to use with the features we liked.

These are basically template websites I bought rights to, (PLR = Private Label Rights, MRR=Master Resell Rights) so I could publish them myself and sell various 3rd party products. Usually the websites & ‘rights’ came with the products, so setting up the sites was a no-brainer!
