Have you heard of FlickrCash yet? No? Well, FlickrCash is a site that allows Flickr members to sell their photos and images for cash. The site also helps those interested in purchasing images find the image that they need. The system automates payments and licensing agreements.

If you wanted to search for a particular term or phrase, perhaps Red Flowers for example, you’d be taken to a page of search results that looked like this – Red Flowers – found and licensed by FlickrCash. Look at that. Hundreds of images of all kinds of red flowers.

Once you’ve done a search, you can select photos by clicking on them. A pop out information bar will come up on the right hand side of the photo telling you what sizes the photo comes in, and what kind of license the photo is listed under. You can also delete photos that come in your search and move them upward in the line up in order to re-arrange the layout.

You can save your searches, and create shareable lightboxes that clients can rate with a heart for love it, or hate for dislike. How you use these images is up to you, and of course by the type of license placed on the image. Many of the images that I’ve viewed fall under the creative commons license.

I have to fully explore this new site to discover all of the things that one can use it for. Certainly it would make it easier to find images that you’d like to use on websites or perhaps even as prints.

At this time the site is still in Beta mode and registration is free to all. As of next week the site will be moving out of Beta and begin charging monthly usage fees. If you register now your membership will be grandfathered into the system and will always be a free membership.
