    Post Photographic Wire/Agency system

    Hello all,

    I have not had to make a request on here in a long time, however I feel that some of the more experienced and professional web developers, here on HabboxForum, will be able to help.

    I am looking to work alongside a web developer to produce a wire/agency system, based around the following idea:

    Photographers will be able to upload photographs relating to latest news articles, as well as libary images relating to the local area. Newspapers/publications/editiors will then be able to register, and download the images. Once an image has been downloaded, their account is noted. Manually, I would then send a paper invoice (however if automated computer invoices which can be printed off are possible, this would help).

    I am not looking to discuss this too much, and the idea is simply an idea at the moment, however I am keen to hear from anyone who is interested.

    I remember you

    This idea is actually really good. Has this honestly not been done before?

    I know that Newspapers pay Freelance Photographers for pictures etc.

    I really like this idea.

    Sorry! Done already. Everyone uses AP for everything, look on bbc images and others around the world, you will see AP everywhere.

    Agency/wire kinda thing, yes. It is taking things to the next level.

    Also I am thinking about this on a local area, not a national. The Isle of Wight has so much press about it all year round, having images all in one place seems a good idea. This could also be rolled out across the country.

    Jew, most people like Press Association

    Well if its already been done before, the site is quite frankly going to loose some profit to the site that offers the exact same service. Promoting against something that is as big as AP will be an uphill struggle.

    I hope you can pull it off.

    It's like you trying to build a search engine and compete against Google and Yahoo.

    You either have to get the word out virally very very quickly and in a huge way (see; wolfram (which flopped)), or have a butt load of money (Microsoft)

    To put it in comparison of what you have to do to have a chance. AP isn't something that offers much in the way of a viral marketing approach.

    Hope you have several million Darren!
