Ever since I discovered the photo-sharing site known as Flickr, I just can’t stop uploading and also checking out other people’s collections. But Flickr isn’t “just for sharing cutie photos” as business owners are now using the service to increase their Web traffic and reach out to potential customers. If you’ve never used Flickr before, review the three steps in today’s Tools and Tips article on NFIB.com:

  • Determine how you’ll use it. Think about the ways your business uses (or could use) images, and then determine what you want to get out of the site.
  • Organize your photos. Assign each photo to one or more sets, and add tags that properly describe it to help others find it in searches.
  • Join the community. Connect with current customers who have Flickr accounts, link your business account to your employees’ accounts and network with others in your field.
