Over the years I have had many opportunities to join portfolio sites for many different reasons. I joined some simply to get a back link to my site, which increased my Google ranking. I joined others to give me some exposure or some sort and I joined others simply to network and show some love. Well PNW is one site that offers all of these features plus more, I will be reviewing other sites soon also.
PNW (Premium Network Worldwide) is currently the most affordable creative site of it's kind which offers quite a lot for a fraction of the price of it's competitors.
PNW offers a nice easy to use profile interface, with multiple uploads and a cool drag and drop feature which enables you too put your images in order. Needless to say, the subscription fee is way cheaper than the previous sites I used.
If you really are looking for a site that goes beyond the normal, then think about the following. Once your up and running, the on-line team will take some time to send out email campaigns for you to a big database of well known clients. I suppose it makes marketing a lot easier, especially for newcomers who literally spend hours sitting in front of the computer sending out emails to any and everybody. I used to be one of those people, but I think for a low low fee (just $9) per month, you can get that done for you. What is even better than that is the teams new article writing service. This basically means that the on-line PNW team will dedicate some time to write an article about you and send them out to hundreds of article directories. I had the pleasure of checking this out I by typing in 'Andre Junget'. To my surprise the articles that were written by him showed up at least 8 times on the first page. It made me wonder, hey? I think this could be a serious promotional service here.
When your email shots get sent out, they are done 3-4 times a year, to approximately 1000 contacts per time. I cannot believe other sites are not offering this, I have paid 325 per year for just 20 images in time past!!.
You do get all the usual portfolio features, like the ability to upload videos, but if your one of those active users you can do a lot more than that. You can link your twitter or RSS feeds to your profile to keep users updated.
You can add blogs to your profiles to keep people up to speed with your activity or you can sell digital images as downloads.
There are so many things you can do to promote yourself on pnworldwide.net it is crazy. If your chosen as artist of the month or blog of the month they will send you a gift voucher for Itunes or Amazon. Trust me there are more things to write about, but I may have to write another article, just to share my thoughts on this and other nice sites.
