Using Flickr To Show Off The Cars You Have Detailed!!

Flickr is an image hosting and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community now owned by Yahoo! In addition to being a popular website for users to share and embed photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers to host images that they embed in blogs and social media. Auto Detailing Businesses can upload photos and products and services and tag them so they show up when that particular detailing service is searched online in your area. Flickr also enables users to organize their photos into "sets" or groups of photos that fall under the same heading. Sets can be displayed as a slideshow and also shared by embedding them into your web site.

Flickr provides both private and public image storage. A user uploading an image can set privacy controls that determine who can view the image. A photo can be flagged as either public or private. Private images are visible by default only to the uploader, but they can also be marked as viewable by others. Privacy settings also can be decided by adding photographs from a user’s photostream to a "group pool". If a group is private all the members of that group can see the photo. If a group is public the photo becomes public as well which is great for businesses showcasing their products.

Flickr is another way to promote your auto detailing services by using images and videos on the Internet without breaking the bank. You should be taking before and after pictures of every car you detail. Get a free Flickr account and begin uploading them. Each picture can be titled and tagged by the name of the services you provided. It is important to take the time to title and tag each image with a description too so it can easily be seen by the search engines.
