Imagekind – ShareASale
Posted by Mitch Mitchell on Nov 14, 2008
Talk about a different kind of affiliate program. Imagekind, through Share-A Sale, offers an affiliate program where people can purchase images instead of other types of programs. Frankly, I was surprised by it, and I like the idea so much that I’ve signed on as an affiliate, and at some point I’ll be adding a block ad of some kind to my sidebar.
Imagekind allows people to post their images on their site for purchase, and if you, as an affiliate, get people to go to the site, then you get a piece of their commissions for sales of their images. Because the prices vary so drastically on this site, believe it or not, you could make a commission off an image anywhere from $10 to $10,000; yup, that wide a range. I’m just imagining someone purchasing a print of that magnitude and being able to get a piece of that; nice!
You can go through the gallery and select images that you like and market those specific images. For instance, here’s one that I absolutely love, though I’ll probably never make it to France; click on it if you’d like to purchase it:
Of course they offer banner ads like what you see below, but there’s more. By joining this program, there are other programs you can add to the mix. For instance, Random House publishers is someone you can market for, along with Electronic Boutique, Rugman, Ace Hardware, and about a hundred others.
Anyway, this is another affiliate that adds some diversity to the norm of affiliate programs, and I think it will add a new quality to my blog site. At least I hope so.

I am a member of share-a-sale, so I’ll check it out.

I’m no good at things like that myself.

The only problem I have with some of these sites is that they pay out very infrequently (ie, some are quarterly) and ones sales balance has to reach a minimum amount before they’ll even pay out at all. I hope you read the small print on these sites!! For me, Redbubble (so far) is the more friendly of the art-sites.
By the way, if you do want to use images that are likely to sell, it helps – just with blogging – find images that match your target audience/readership. And that takes quite a bit of analysis! Or at the very least, being able to match up readers with artwork.
Hey, I might have to blog about this sometime!

As for Imagekind, I like highlighting the images, but so far no one has ever purchased anything I’ve posted, like that picture to the left. That’s probably why you see payouts as sporadic; hard getting people to pay for stuff they can use for free in some fashion.

Mitch, I have started bookmarking posts of yours that I want to read and comment on, so expect a spate of comments from me in the next few days!!
And actually, I’m going to bookmark your comment too as it’s given me food for thought. The art issue is very important to me for a variety of reasons and is something I frequently think about from many different angles.
